Looks interesting. However I live in a solar, DC world. I notice it has a wall wart type power supply. Could you tell me what voltage (hopefully 12dc) the power supply is rated at?
====================================
Nomad,the bc 700 is a fine unit,major bang for the buck... but unfortunately its a 3volt wall wart.

Dougs advice,the maha, gets excellent ratings too.Im sure from what folks say you will be MORE than happy with the maha.

Cool thing about both units is how they condition the batteries for maximum life and charging ability.

Oh,IIRC the Kirkland alkalines are Rayovacs,they make a good battery.My Uncle was a mucky muck there,says they are as good a battery as any,and he was a very honest man,told me of some garbage one of there subsidiaries made back in the day,junk shock absorbers that were filled with hype and advertising,nothing more.So when he said good batteries,I sure believed him.

I used Kirkland alkalines before the NiMh's and never had a problem,think they are a good deal.For alkalines.
