Various Sales Round-up: 8-slot Ansmann Powerline Battery Charger for $26 [also: Manfrotto, Case Logic, Acer 23.8″ for $135]

On the battery charging front, the 8-slot ANSMANN Powerline Battery Charger is currently on sale for $26~ at Amazon by Amazon itself. You can charge 1 to 8 AA or AAA batteries. It averages 4.8 out of 5 based on 12 reviews. It also has a USB charging socket (powering the charger via USB). Free shipping for Prime members, or with a $35+ order for non-Prime.

While we are at Amazon, the Case Logic SLRC-201 SLR Zoom Holster is on sale for $25~, with the same free shipping terms as usual (see above).

Also while digging into their various sales there, the new condition Manfrotto MK290DUA3-BHUS 290 Dual Ball Head Kit (Black) is on sale for $200 with free shipping.

More digging, this brand new 23.8-inch Acer R240HY computer monitor goes for $135 with free shipping. It is an IPS 1920 x 1080 with three inputs (HDMI, DVI-D, VGA – see picture #4). It is currently the best seller among new Monitor releases over there.

On the utilitarian front, the Canon RF-3 Body Cap for EOS cameras goes for $5.89 with a limit of 30 per customer. This is part of the Add-On program, so you must needs place an order of $25+ (otherwise their shopping cart won’t let you purchase it).

Another single-figure item, the NEEWER Netural Grey Gradual ND-Grads 67mm Filter goes for $6.64 with a limit of 30. Shhh, don’t tell Amazon – this is not part of the dreaded Add-On program 🙂

NOTE: these are random sales, they are not part of the Tuesday Lightning Deals.
