As I prepare for the eventual Lionel Base 3 … updated 3/31/23, again 5/18/23, again 4/18/24

Several years ago, I asked about what rechargeable batteries to use in my Legacy controller, and I have bought and have been using these ever since:

While advice was also to not use the Legacy base for charging, I still do and now am planning for the eventual receipt of my Base 3.

I want to continue using my Legacy base as a cradle only and charge the batteries with an external charger.

The Legacy base will not be plugged in to avoid signal interference with the new Base 3.

I see several different “Tenergy” chargers on Amazon, I am wondering which to buy.

While I’m at it, are the batteries above still the recommended ones to use? Do they significantly degrade over time?

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!

Stan
