Have to agree with one of the skeptics, energy is energy and transferring it quickly usually means heat! eek2.gif

5 minutes! It took several hours to recharge my new digital camera's batteries, fresh out of the package from Best Buy! Then, when I put them in, the camera didn't like them. There was a "change batteries" message on the screen, which I first thought said "charge batteries". So, I pulled them out, switched places ("flipping" them around, of course) and it worked! dntknw.gif

Sometimes holding the camera with the other hand helps...
