I'm all charged up.......2007-12-30

over this charger and so are my NIMH batteries. Does the job with no fuss or bother and lasts indefinetly in my power eating digital camera. Haven't needed to recharge them yet, they seem to last forever (buy good batteries though, I use the Sony batteries).

Sleek and fast charger.......2007-12-28

I bought two of these. One to charge our Wii batteries, the other for my daughter's digital camera. The case is sleek and the plug folds in so it makes it easy to pack up and travel with (we always take our charger on vacations to make sure our cameras won't miss any shots). This charger fully charged the batteries within hours rather than overnight like my old charger. I'm very pleased.

Cool Sony Rechargeable battery.......2007-12-28

It is easy to carry along with the charger; furthermore the batteries can stay up along my 1 week holiday trip.

For Sony rechargable kits.......2007-12-28

Very good product and fast shipping. The batteries can last a long time after each recharge.

Descent charger.......2007-12-26

Great charger. Good thing is it can be used almost anywhere with 100-240 volt capability.

This is a small, handy device which delivers the goods. The individual displays showing charge condition of the separate batteries provides all needed info.

Best charger I have tried.......2007-12-15

I manage rechargeable batteries for a company of 45+ people, and this charger is the best I've used -- and we've been through four vendors at this point. This charger allows for a "refresh" cycle (in other words, discharge any remaining bit of charge, then recharge from scratch) which I use all the time. This feature that isn't available on many other chargers, including others from Sony (see below for more on this topic). Almost as important, it has four INDEPENDENT charging circuits, which means that you can put in any crazy combination of AA and AAA batteries you like. (In practice, this means I can top off one AA/AAA battery to match a set of two or three other charged batteries that I may have...very handy, and impossible with units that require charging in pairs!)

Previously, my office used a charging unit from Emerging Power, also purchased on Amazon. That was an okay charger, but lacked the refresh cycle and required batteries to be paired for charging. Also, the lack of a real user interface (the UI consisted of single LED's per channel that were either on, blinking, or off) made it hard to tell what was going on. This Sony charger has an LED graph that shows you a rough percentage of battery charge, which makes it much easier to judge how much time remains. Finally, the Emerging Power charger had big springs (versus metal tabs) that held the batteries in place...guess what, one the springs went wonky after a few dozen charges, making it a dicey proposition to try charging four batteries at once. This Sony charger uses better-designed tabs to hold the batteries in place -- much better!

In an office with 45+ users, this charger is used by many people in my office every day. It's dead simple to use -- just pop in some batteries and off you go. If you want a "refresh" cycle (discharge before the recharge), just hit that button after inserting the battery (or batteries). Very easy and user-friendly, and built for tons of charge cycles...unlike some other units that have big springs that can break or go limp after a lot of use.

The only restriction is that this charger only handles AA and AAA batteries. In our office that's okay -- we use those batteries for wireless keyboards, mice, and pagers. But if you need 9V or other battery sizes you might consider a different system.

All told, I'm very pleased with this unit. It's worth the extra cost compared to the "BCG-34HE4" charger -- I have that unit at home, and the lack of LED, refresh cycle, and independent charging channels makes THIS unit much, much better. (In fact, I'm going to buy this unit for home too, and eBay the BCG-34HE4 -- which is an okay charger, but not worth the extra hassle.)

Great charger.......2007-12-03

Great charger and great batteries, too. Usually, when you buy a charger the batteries that come with it don't have the highest available capacity. Not so in this case, the batteries are top of the line. The charger works much faster than the one it replaces and you can charge any number of batteries at a time (want to charge 1 or 3 batteries? - no problem). Contrary to many reviews below, it doesn't get hot. Folks, if you want to recondition the battery, don't put it in fully charged! The charger will have to run it down first, and it will get warm, of course. Wait till it discharges, THEN recondition.

The only downside (for me anyway) is that it doesn't charge 9V batteries, which is unfortunate, since I have a few devices that use those.

Very good battery charger.......2007-11-28

Very good product. I would have given it 5 stars except that it only charges AA batteries. We have gone through several different chargers and they all had problems or drawbacks. This one is very good. The LCD display on the front is very useful and tells you whether the batteries are fully charged or not.

Great!!!!.......2007-11-22

Tried other chargers but this one is the best by far. Good price and problem free.

the need for speed.......2007-12-26

If short charging time is the most important issue for you, this is the unit to get. If you take a lot of indoor photos for example, one set of batteries can charge in the time that you are depleting another. If your main purpose for using rechargeables is to reduce waste, perhaps you might obtain longer overall battery life with a slower type charger. It seems possible that leaving freshly charged batteries in the charger may cause some drain. ( I prefer to always remove them promptly when fully charged )

Effective recharger.......2007-12-14

It is amazing to get your batteries fully recharged in only 15 minutes. Besides that, it is a quality valued product. The only thing I missed is the function of emptying the batteries before recharging them. Despite that, I would definitely recommend it.

not reliable.......2007-12-03

After a year or two of very rare use (maybe once every 2 months), this charger stopped working. I can put any batteries in it and it always fails to charge. You'll know by the dreaded blinking light.

Another Sony product bites the dust..........2007-09-07

I must have a Sony curse or something... everything I buy from them breaks right after the warranty expires... 2 camcorders, 2 discmans, my PS2...
This worked great for a while, but then started rejecting batteries left and right. I had to re-insert them about 10 times to get the charge to begin. Ironically, it won't charge the included Sony batteries at all, but still kind of works with my energizers...

Battery's recharging life too short.......2007-08-25

Pros: Fast recharge

Cons: Batteries' life is seriously reduce.

I think I only recharges these batteries for about 100 times and now they can't no longer be recharged by the charger. I think this is because the charger recharges the batteries too fast. I have to recharge the batteries with my other Ni-MH chargers because the Sony chargers refuses to charge it for me. Get the 1 hour sony charger instead of this 15 minutes one.

Note batteries gets extremely hot after recharges

I recommend this product - but..........2007-10-03

OK it is a little pricey but for a unit with both an AC and a DC charger and 4 2500mah batteries included it isn't too expensive. However there are two things that caught me by surprise.

1) It will charge up to 4 AA NiMh batteries BUT ONLY 2 AAA NiMh batteries. The design doesn't have a way to insert 4 AAAs.

2) The photo at the top of the Amazon page make it look like there is an LED charge indicator for each battery; not so. There are four holes to see if there is a battery inserted, but just one charge lamp. No big deal. Just a bit misleading.

Otherwise this product does what I wanted.
