Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Quick Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable BatteriesCustomer Review: A lot of Life Summary: 5 Stars
The charger and the batteries are a definite must when you have kids. I try to stick with toys and entertainment that only requires cerebral and physical power when possible, but when it comes time to buy something that requires the use of battery power well then this is your answer.
Many of the toys require up to 3-4 batteries each and can suck the juice out of them fast. The rechargeable batteries do just as good a job if not better at supplying the necessary power to endure a lot of turning on/off with our kids' toys.
I try to keep some spares charged up just in case, but there are times where this kids just have to wait. It beats having to run out for batteries. I bought it around the holidays and this thing has paid for itself, including the many packs of AA and AAA batteries that I bought to go along with it.
Customer Review: A Fine Charger Summary: 5 Stars
This Sony Charger replaces the Walmart Special I bought for $10. The Walmart batteries lasted less then 10 charges. I'd recommend you purchase an additional set of 4 Sony (2500mah)batteries when you purchase this unit. That will give you a total of 8 batteries. This charger also detects failed batteries (like my Walmart ones) and can charge from 1 to 4 batteries at a time. Also, somewhat unique, is that it has a refresh cycle to recondition batteries that have developed some "memory" and aren't holding a full charge as well as they once did. You'll need 4 to 5 hours for a full charge but if you buy a second set of 4 batteries for about $11.00, the time needed for a recharge really becomes academic. The charger clearly displays the status of each battery through its charge cycle. Really a well thought out device.
Customer Review: Highly Recommend this charger! Summary: 5 Stars
Ive been using this charger for a while now and i must say it is awesome! I love that i can just plug it in and forget about it. Ive forgetten to unplug it for days without issue. It always charges the batteries fully, they work just as good/long as new. The only issue i dont like is the flip down power prongs are a pain to plugin sometimes (always wanting to fold). i wouldnt even care if they were fixed non folding. Another thing i wish it had was a shutoff switch, so you can just always leave it plugged in and not worry if the overcharge protection fails. I highly recommend this to anyone, especially if your still buying non rechargables :( i also recommend you buy another pack of batteries, as once you start using these, 4 will NOT be enough because you will want everything in your house to use them.
Customer Review: Easy, long life, no worries. Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to keep our Wiimotes loaded up with fresh AA batteries. We've been using this product for about 6 weeks now and it has proven itself to be long-lasting and easy to use. NON-rechargeable batteries used in our Wiimotes needed to be replaced about every 4 weeks. So far, this charger has resulted in a 6 week life span for the rechargeable batteries. We bought two chargers with 4 batteries each and we're about to buy 4 more batteries to ensure an on-going supply of AA's for all of our electronics. As recommended by others here, I pulled the cover off of the unit to make sure we didn't have a heat build-up problem. I second that recommendation - even though I didn't feel any heat coming from the batteries.
Customer Review: Very good stuff here Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this charger and batteries for more than 2 yrs now. It still works as new. Charging time is 2 to 3 hrs, but keeping it overnight wont hurt. And if you buy extra 4 of those 2500 mA batteries, its rare to run out of charge. I have Cannon A90 and Sony digicams and these batteries run extremely well in both. One charge lasts at least 400 pics with flash. In comparison to other alkaline batteries, these are much better.
This charger performs very good at overseas voltages too. No problem at all.
Only drawback is this charger limits only to AA and AAA. But I rarely use other type of batteries, so my rating is 5 for this charger. Buying another set today for family.
