i'm headed to lake powell next month for a long weekend trip. i'm planning on taking lots of pics so I know I'll need to recharge my batteries in my digital camera (regular rechargable AAs), but I won't have a generator around to use so is there a way I can charge the batteries off the boat's battery?

get a power inverter with plenty of wattage that plugs into your cigarette lighter....400watts should be enough...not enough power, you'll jack up your battery.

Here's your best option...buy this charger...

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-108-014&depa=0

According to reviews(and my experience) it's the best charger you can get. It's fast and it makes your batteries last longer. For $56, you get the charger, an AC adapter, a cigarette lighter plug, and 4 extra top-quality 2200 mAh NiMH AA batteries. On it's fast setting, it will fully charge your batteries in 100 minutes.

Oops...I noticed that it's actually cheaper now on the manufacturer's website ($50 w/ batteries and $40 without):
