We like this battery charger a bushel and a peck, particularly for travel. It's a 120VAC wall-mount with a plug that folds out of the way and it takes (4) rechargeable NiMH or NiCd batteries in "AA" or "AAA" (flip the little tab on either side to change sizes) or (2) of each at one time. Measures 4-3/8" tall x 1-5/8" square. UL.

40964 COMPACT NIMH/NICD BATTERY CHARGER |
Since we don't want to spend our golden years pouring gold into the pockets of Middle Eastern oil cartels and homegrown utility companies, we encourage science students to explore solar cells. Exposed to light, even these small modules will power DC motors, charge batteries, or run an eye-popping science project. 92481 is 2-9/16" x 3-5/8". All are enclosed and have leads.

93728 MEDIUM 5 WATT SOLAR PANEL |
Powerless? Try these new power supplies from 70s-era microfiche readers. Nominally rated for 230VAC, no load output is approx 15VAC, so we're thinking maybe they were for a 12 Volt, 13 Watt bulb. You should use a 25W bulb or lower. Output is via a 7" dual lead with a standard QCX-20/GX5.3 (2) pin halogen lamp socket. Has an on/off toggle on the side. At 120VAC, no load output is 8.5VAC. Input plug is a standard tandem 230VAC dryer-type, but easy to lop off and replace. Made in the USA. UL.
