battery-based field recharger for Tungstens?

[johnbartley]

Now have a T3 and a TW in the family, and looking for a AA-based or AAA-based recharger w/ the appropriate connector.

Anyone have one?

From who did you buy it?

Comments?

A lot of people make "home-mades" and sell them on Ebay, I don't know if they have the PUC, though.

Something like this?

Saw it at CompUSA the other day.

I think he means more like this:

only with a PUC.

Haven't seen one myself, but I sure would like to get my hands on one.

Well whaddaya know there's one on the same page:

But I personally would rather use AA batteries than 9V ones. But hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Maybe I should research before making post after post... sorry.

Anyway I found what you're looking for here:

http://www.sfplanet.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/items.main/parentcat/4017/subcatid/9084/id/49446

But it need 4 AAs to recharge a T3 fully. Plus I've never dealt with this company before. I've done business with Brando and they rock. If I find a more reputable vendor I'll post again.

The SF Planet gizmo looks like the one I had for my Treo; same carrier, same switch & same LED. It worked well for me, and was much less spendy than the equivalent PalmOne gizmo.

Plus I can keep recharging with AAs even if I'm in the field for three weeks, by just getting more AAs (never a problem in a DSHR operation).

Thank you!

Ordered it - same was available at Amazon but 1.50 net more.

Will advise if I have problems with it, but since its cousin for the Treo was trouble-free, I don't expect it to be problematic.
