I’m looking for a dull man’s gift guide for Christmas. Any suggestions? What dull gifts are on y’all’s wish list this year?

    Any thoughts on the best battery charger? We have a Nitrcore pro charger. Curious if he’d like an upgrade, or if a few more packs of batteries would be enough. We do cycle through them quickly in this house.

      If you live near IKEA, they have a sleek ass 8 bay charger that closes shut and attaches to a wall. And they sell eneloops (in the name of ladas) but they’re from Japan and were (and still likely are) eneloops. And eneloops are the top tier of the rechargeable batteries.

      Edit: forgot ikea ships now, usually with a minimum total, but they do ship now

      Btw thanks for asking, I’ve got many dullsters to think about

      I’ve got mostly EBL-brand batteries and 8-bay charger. They work well but the charger uses micro-USB which is kind of a bummer.

      The other set I have are by PowerOwl. They also work great, and the charger (only a 4 bay) is USB-C.

      Both brands are the low self-discharge Ni-MH style and can charge any combination of batteries (some chargers require them to be charged in pairs; neither of these have that limitation), so no complaints.
