charger for spare battery?

Has anyone found a spare battery charger? I'm looking for the type that plug right into 110th wall outlets and charge a loose separate battery.

Amazon has one for 13 dollars or so, I ordered mine last night.

I couldn't find any on a site that I trusted so I started looking everywhere and found a few different styles. Some of the docks looked promising but a quality one is around 38 bucks. The others looked like cheap junk but hey the prices started around 4 dollars. I decided not to risk putting my brand new studio battery in one of these cheapo battery charges but then I found one on boxwave. I had always trusted them in the past so I looked into it further and then noticed that the spare battery charger that boxwave was selling was the exact same 4 dollar charger being sold in eBay so I gave up and just bought the eBay charger.

That exact one (powergen) i ordered on Amazon a while back...it is great.

Can use it for li-on camera batteries (reason I purchased), but i realized that it can be used for cell phone batteries too!

I didn't realize that the charging pins were adjustable when I ordered it, its pretty cool it will fit almost any small device battery, I even used it last night to charge up an iPhone battery I had laying around. Most definitely worth the money! Some may be worried about how cheap it is, but realistically the chips to control amperage flow and switch to a trickle charge at 4.2 volts are old technology, and cheapo chinese stuff nowadays is more than good enough for a simple charging task. I also must say I'm impressed with the feel of it, it feels durable and sturdy.
