Today’s Sellout.Woot! deal is an iGo Battery Charger with 8 AA Rechargeable Batteries for only $7.99 + $5 S&H. The charger handles AA or AAA batteries, both rechargeable alkaline and NiMH. The includes iGo AA cells are rechargeable alkaline and they come pre-charged, ready to use, and they hold their charge for up to seven years. Since they’re alkaline they have no heavy metals and are completely non-toxic. Also they provide the standard 1.5V – not 1.2V, etc., you get with other types of rechargeable batteries.

I picked up three of the bundles the last time I posted the deal, at $9.99, and I’ve been very happy with them. I picked up a number of additional AA & AAA packs from Amazon and I’ve been phasing out my old NiCD & NiMH cells, replacing them with the iGo cells. Amazon sells a charger and just four cells for $12.99, so $7.99 with eight is a good deal.

Today’s Woot! deal is the iGo Green Battery Charger with eight rechargeable alkaline AA batteries for only $9.99 + $5 S&H. The charger handles four AA and AAA rechargeable batteries, in any combination, and it can charge NiMH or alkaline cells.

It comes with eight iGo Green AA alkaline rechargeable batteries. Unlike most other rechargeable cells, these alkaline rechargeables provide the standard 1.5V output you get from standard alkaline batteries. And they store 2000mAh, so you have decent life. They’re also designed for ‘charge and store’, and will hold their charger for up to seven years. They ship charged so they’re ready to use out of the box. And because they’re alkaline cells, they’re non-toxic with no heavy metals – unlike NiMH or NiCad cells.

Amazon sells the charger and just four batteries for $13.30, here you’re getting the charger and eight batteries for $14.99. I have some ancient NiMH AA & AAA batteries that I’ve been meaning to replace for months, since they no longer hold a charge well, so I’m jumping on this deal myself – and picking up some more iGo batteries from Amazon.

Sellout.Woot! – iGo Universal 90-Watt Slim Notebook AC Adapter Just $17.99

I find having a spare laptop power supply is very useful. I can leave one packed up in my laptop bag and another plugged in in my regularly work environment. Then when I need to pick up and go I can just grab the laptop and stick it in the bag. No need to pack up the power supply. Convenient, especially if doing so means crawling under a desk to unplug it, then fishing the cable out, etc. But spare OEM power supplies can be expensive, and if you switch laptops you invariably have to buy another one.

So today’s Sellout.Woot! deal may be of interest. They’re offering a refurbished iGo Universal 90-Watt Slim Notebook AC Adapter for only $17.99 + $5 S&H. And it comes with eight different tips:
- 701 for Acer, Compaq, HP
- 702 for Dell
- 703 for Compaq, HP
- 704 for IBM, Lenovo
- 705 for Asus, Compaq, HP
- 706 for Several Brands including Fujitsu, Gateway and Toshiba
- 707 for Acer, Gateway
- 709 for Sony

These were $79.99 new, and iGo sells this same refurbished unit for $49.99. I found a vendor selling them on Amazon for $22.99 + $5.49 S&H, so this is still the better deal.
