Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

For NiMH AA and AAA, I am quite happy with the Accupower IQ-328.

It can take both USA and European voltages. Charging rate can be set for fast or slow. Can charge an odd number of batteries which is nice, some of my lights use three AAA cells. Many AA/AAA chargers can only charge an even number of batteries, if you try to charge two batteries that are not equally discharged, it can be problematic.

For travel for compactness and lighter weight I prefer a battery charger that does not have a separate transformer unit. Thus for travel I would not use the Accupower, the transformer unit is quite heavy. But for home use, the Accupower is great. I bought it on Amazon.

For Li Ion, I have no recommendations.
