Following up an earlier posting in sci.electronics

The (same) Solar charger (4xAA size) is available for GBP 7.60 from 

Centre for Alternative Technology

CAT will quote for overseas orders on request.

They also do a more complex charger for AA, PP3, C and D cells.
(estimated 2 days to charge, This *might* be adaptable to run off 12V.
Cost GBP 49.95 + P&P


I have also located a 12V dc nicad charger. This is available from 

Wind And Sun
The Howe
Watlington
Oxford
OX9 5EX
UK

+44 49 161 3859

Charges two or four AAA to D size cells, over 14 to 22 hours.
It uses current even when not charging.
Cost GBP 25.30 + P&P

I've sent for details about this charger and will summarize if
requested.

NOTE: Wind and Sun is a small (one man) operation. CAT is a much larger
organisation.

Both of these bits of information came from the April edition of
