Ikelite DS51 strobe

I have an Ikelite DS50 The one that takes batterys not the new one that u have to buy a nicad pack. Does this mean the second hand value has just gone up. When will the people who design diving kit realise we dont need another battery charger and batterys. we need standard batterys and chargers

Is it just me or do you have to many chargers and diff batterys?

According to the Ikelite website, the new DS 51 still accepts AA batteries in Alkaline, NiCAD, or NiMH:
