Sony 15 Minute Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries Reviews
I may gave this product 5 star if I wrote this review in its first week for its amazing charging speed, however after a year's usage, I am not hesitate to give 0 star, for the endless trouble it bring to me. So travllers be aware, this is definitely not what you want. My latest find is this charger greatly shorten the battery life. I finally decided to buy a new one to get me out of these troubles since I do not wish to miss the precious shot any more. Now all of the 4 AA batteries are died in just 30 cycle recharging, comparing ordinary rechageable batteries have 500-1000 recharging cycle. Then I found these batteries discharge very quickly, leave the battery a couple days unused, you will found they are empty in just several shoots in my digital camera. First of all, this charger has a huge adapter which is not displayed in the picture, what make it even worse, it is only 110V capable, which means it is not working in other country which has 220V voltage.
This is one of the best items on the market for rechargeable batteries
Cons:. -Expensive. . (Even if the fan and the light has turned off.
-It does very poor charging with other batteries other than Sony's. It is more than a year since I bought this. What's with that. This part of the design is strange and baffles me. -Usually you have a retractable prong on the charger itself to plug it on the wall.
I was excited at first to have a battery charger to quickly charge in 15 minutes. -A little loud (it has a built-in cooling fan). -It works OK with the Sony batteries it came with. This one has a separate power supply that is as big as a brick. If I still have 15 mins, then it is not too late.
Check out the new low discharge batteries from Eneloop (Sanyo), Rayovac, Kodak, etc. before even thinking of buying this. Recommendations:. -You need some muscles to place and remove the batteries from the charger. Pros:.
Particularly batteries that has lower than 2500mAh ratings. There were several times that we were about to go for a trip and that I remember I do not have any ready AA batteries for my gadgets. Batteries are still far from fully charged).
If short charging time is the most important issue for you, this is the unit to get. It seems possible that leaving freshly charged batteries in the charger may cause some drain. 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. ( I prefer to always remove them promptly when fully charged )
Besides that, it is a quality valued product. Despite that, I would definitely recommend it. It is amazing to get your batteries fully recharged in only 15 minutes. The only thing I missed is the function of emptying the batteries before recharging them.
