Just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this nimh battery charger. It's the La Crosse BC-700. I am looking to charge odd numbers of some Sanyo Eneloop batteries and the charger that came with the batteries doesn't seem to be able to accomplish that.

So if you have this particular model please let me know what you think of it, or if you have a different make / model of similar specs please let me know.

This (http://www.all-battery.com/T-6280Charger8AAPremiumRechargeableBatteries-90467.aspx) is the one I have (and where I bought it) oddly enough they are not stocking it outside of a combo that includes batteries. I am quite pleased with it, it's not really fast but I have a smaller charger for pairs of batteries that I want fast.
Just checked eBay and there all-battery has it without batteries for the same price... narf.

One charger I bought off of Newegg some time ago, which works great, is a POWEREX MH-C9000. It has several integrated options that do more than just charge. This device can also analyze and increase the charge/life in old rechargeable batteries. If you do get this unit, make sure to read the manual.
Newegg appears to be out of stock, but Amazon appears to have them for around $50, I believe I got this on a shell shocker deal for around $40 with batteries and a carrying case.
Sorry to throw an apple into your oranges.
