Charger for GXR

Does anyone know if there is a charger available for the DB-90 which will get the it up to full charge quicker than the BJ-9 which comes with the GXR? With the BJ-9 it takes nearly 5 hours to fully charge a depleted DB-90 and, according to Ricoh, the battery should then be removed immediately to avoid overcharging. Inconvenient, to say the least.

Just thought I'd ask. I do have one spare DB-90, but since forum members periodically mention that it's wise to have 3 or 4 batteries I translate that into 15 to 20 hours charging time, and who can babysit a charger for that amount of time in order to have the recommended spares on hand? I also have a Nikon D300 which has a battery twice the size of the DB-90 but takes only 2.25 hours to charge. I've had 2 of them for nearly 4 years and have noticed no shortening of battery life, or any other problems. Guess I'd better get another charger if I'm going to get more batteries, unless someone has a better idea. Thanks for the feedback!
