 * [http://www.thomasdistributing.com/maha-mh-c9000-battery-charger.php Maha Powerex MH-C9000 WizardOne Charger-Analyzer] charges 4 AA or AAA NiMH batteries. It charges cells individually at a user-selectable rate and cuts off when the battery is full (actually it has a small topping off charge and a very slight trickle charge to keep the battery full). It can also discharge batteries to determine their capacity (has LCD display), or apply a "break-in" charge. It is often recommended in the CPF forums. About $50.
