I was looking at these battery chargers and was wondering which one is the best for the buck, I'm mainly going to use them for a digital camera and mp3 player. Digital camera I use 2 AA batteries and for the mp3 player 1 AAA battery

i was looking at 1 of the energizer chargers at walmart and it says charge time 800 mah 5h, 2450mah 9h or something like that but it didn't say anything after 2450 mah so does that mean if i have 2500 mah batteries it won't charge on this charger?

No, it will still charge your 2500mah. If you can afford the time, a slow charger is always better for the battery than a quick charger.

i heard that before whats a good reasonable long charge time? 8h? because i was using a family one we have that takes forever about 18h i think maybe even longer and i just bought one for myself that charges 2500mah in 8.5h

I would say 2-3 hrs for charging 4 AA should be consider reasonable, 8hr is kind of long, but if you can afford the wait 8hr should be OK. 18hrs "no way".

I agree, I have this one for over 3 yrs now and very happy with it.
