Hi.
I've just had a look at this. It's the Rayovac 15 minute charging
system
http://www.rayovac.com/products/recharge/15minutes/qa.shtml
The Radio Shack page where this can be purchased is at

It does charge in 15 minutes, but does so only with its own
batteries (the IC3 batteries sold by Rayovac). It charges other batteries,
whether NIMH or NiCD in the usual amount of time (they say, on the Rayovac
site, "over night"). If you already have batteries and a charger, it might
be an idea to stick with those. If not, this charger sounds like a good
deal, despite the fact that the charger and its batteries are comparatively
expensive.

I believe it was around $50.00. That's expensive, but it will more than
pay for itself in the long run.

12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
