Just an update about using AA battery packs as a charger...I now STRONGLY suggest you DON'T do it (for anything more than 2xAA anyway)...Or at the least be VERY careful and keep a CLOSE watch on the battery temperature (of the car) when charging.
Why? Because I took my meter out and measured how much current output a 4xAA pack was putting out as a charger...5amps man! That's 5,000mA!!!
Just to put some perspective on that; Charging a 150mAH battery at 5,000mA is like baking a cake (that's suggested at 375°) at 12,500°!!!
Crispy on the outside, batter on the inside baby.
