Most microcontroller programmers are actually very simple devices that can be made by yourself. Being that programmers range from $50+, so it can be a good investment or backup programmer. The parts are very cheap and this project write-up is clean with step-by-step instructions. Give it a look see!

NiMH rechargeable batteries have been around for quite some time and have proven their worth. This type of rechargeable battery can be found inside things from electric cars to electric tooth-brushes. Today's simple project makes use of a microcontroller for controlling the recharging of the battery and turning off when recharging has completed.
