Sony Quick Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries Reviews
I have owned this for abt a year. Initially charged batteries every two weeks, for use in a camera. Within 2 months the batteries began to weaken, lasting just 20 mins or so in the camera, just shooting stills, no video, no watching pictures. Then one battery was completely dead, leaving behind three that worked poorly. Now only two remain, holding charge for 20-25 mins at most.
I rarely use it now, having no faith in how long the batteries will last. I know that every battery has a fixed life, but did not expect that life to be less than 50 hours.
I have read the manual and used the refresh option (discharge and then recharge) to no avail. I bought this from amazon and so no chance of a fake. Am surprised that Sony is not that reliable, expected better of them.
I can't believe I wasted all that money on Energizer batteries and chargers over the years. These are ten times better. They hold a charge longer and last much longer in my digital camera.
I must say that it works really nice. I bought it in 2006 and it's 2010 and it works just fine. So I feel its a really nice product to buy when it comes to rechargeable batteries. It's reliable and last's long enough for what you pay. What else you need when it's working long enough.
I've used ours for a few years and it works well. It does take a few hours to charge up to 4 batteries. My daughter has one of those 15 minute chargers and it costs twice as much so its really up to your preference as to how fast do you need those batteries charged.
I just bought a second charger by another maker and I was shocked to discover it takes 11 to 15 hours to charge 4 batteries. I don't mine 3 or 4 but 11 to 15 kind of makes it difficult to travel with.
I would suggest if the package does not say how long it takes to charge, more than likely its a long time and they don't want you to know that. I would avoid it.
The Sony travels nicely and plugs into 110.
Very Very good batteries. Had them for about 3 years and used them in my camera (Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom). Still keep using them and throughout the years took over 10 000 pictures. About 300-500 pictures between recharges, even when using flash. Even after those years charge holds up same as before, when it was new.
