For travellers

This charger can charge four AA or AAA batteries at the same time. It also supports power switching for international use, going between 100-240V AC.

A solid alternative is the affordable Amazon Basics batteries, and the companion charger is an absolute must-buy for frequent international travelers. Whichever you go for, buying rechargeable batteries is not only cost-effective but massively convenient. And since you'll be tossing less away, much better on the environment.
