Digital camera reviews of Sony BCG-34HRMF4 Battery Charger with LCD Display and 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries
Digital camera Review: Batteries can't hold their own
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to accompany my new Canon Flash unit. It's a nice well built charger.I would have preferred a wall mount option though since my studio has very limited desk space.The refresh button is great, really essential for ni-mh batteries. The "charging" indicators are a nice touch too. I read the Amazon reviews and hoped my batteries would be the exception but as others had warned the batteries are unable to hold their charge for more than a day or two. Don't depend on them to work when you need them. I charged the Sony batteries for several hours and shot maybe 50-60 shots with no problem. Next day they were dead. thought maybe I'd done something wrong. After giving them two more identical chances to prove themselves worthy ,they failed exactly the same way. Do yourself a favor and get some Sanyo eneloops and recycle the Sony batteries like I did.Digital camera Review: Batteries charge getting down often
Summary: 1 Stars
I read the positive comments and reviews of this product and took a bold step to buy this latest Product. The batteries are real useless so to say they completey discharge when idle for only a few days. The battery requires to be charged a few minutes before every single use of it which is impossible in my case. Even if the batter is idle for a couple of days after they are done charging, you will see it dead. Ultimately I am not make use of this battery. Not sure if its the battery problem or the charger problem. Really frustrated and disappointed of this product.Digital camera Review: Batteries do not hold a charge.
Summary: 1 Stars
Batteries do not retain their charge for any length of time, even if they are not being used. I charged the batteries for use in my golf GPS. Put them in the GPS a 3 days before I played. The device was not turned on. I had low batteries indicator as soon as I turned the device on, put in the spare batteries which were supposedly fully charged and had the same problem. I get 4 rounds of gold out of regular batteries and have yet to get a single round out of the rechargeable batteries.Digital camera Review: Batteries have poor standby time
Summary: 2 Stars
These batteries work great when freshly charged, but do not expect them to hold a charge over time. A couple of days in my camera bag and they will only be able to fire my flash once or twice.Digital camera Review: Batteries need to get a life!
Summary: 2 Stars
Charging time is good, but the shelf life of the batteries leaves something to be desired. I have some generic recharghables that sit on the shelf after charging for up to six weeks and when putting those in the unit it shows a full charge. The Sony batteries are dead. This is not good if you are planning on traveling without the charger which is made difficult with the long cord on the unit. It might have cost a few dollars more but I should have bought a plug-in charger (no cord) and batteries at a local home improvement store.
