I need to buy a battery charger for my Radio Shack AAA batteries. I see two chargers at Radio Shack, one will charge in 5 hours, the other in 13 hours. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Thanks.

Usually the faster that you charge, the shorter the total battery life.

The main disadvantage of both, is that they come from Radio Shack Kim
Fast charging is more convenient. But, with many types of chargeable batteries, faster charging may make a shorter life for them. I personly prefer the fast charge. In the end, you are still saving a lot of money for the batteries, even if they have to be replaced one or two times a year. After about 2 to 3 years, most chargeable batteries are scrap anyways...

Has anyone ever heard of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries not working below
32 degrees temperature?
