Digital camera reviews of Sony Quick Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries
Digital camera 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.
Digital camera Review: A GOOD DEAL==

I don't know that much about batteries, but this looked like a very good deal, [charging as I type]--Got a digital camera, needed rechargeable batteries, and with a name like Sony, could you go wrong?? Just hope there not manufactured in China.Digital camera Review: A bargain of an nimh battery package
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been well over a year now that I got the Sony charger and batteries.
I use them mostly in my hand held Garmin Venture CX GPS and Garmin Streetpilot. I have charged the batteries a couple or 3 times over the last 12 months and am well pleased with their longevity. This is a "smart" charger that is easy to use. Note this is not one of those 15 minute chargers.If time is that valuable to you need to spend more bucks on a faster charger. I use the charger for my nimh AA & AAA I got before this Sony charger package and all the batteries seem to charge in a couple of hours. The charger is safe as it doesn't get hot and shuts off automatically when the batteries are fully charged. I haven't traveled abroad with the Sony charger yet but can see its advantages with its light and slim profile, and adaptabiltiy to varying foreign electricity requirements.
I consider this Sony charger and 4 Sony 2500 batteries a bargain and one of the best electronic investments I have made.
Digital camera Review: A decent charger
Summary: 4 Stars
I only recharge my batteries once a week at most. I find this battery recharger quite useful even though the cover is kind of flimsy.Digital camera Review: A good product
Summary: 4 Stars
Seriously though...
This is a pretty good battery charger and it definitely gets the job done. It also charges in a relatively short amount of time. I purchased it along with another set of four batteries for my Wii remotes. If my batteries die, I just pull out two freshly charged ones from the charger and put in the dead ones to be charged. Simple.
There's a door you have to flip open to access the batteries. The only reason I removed a star from the rating is that they could have made the door a little more sturdy. It has come off the hinges a few times. Fortunately, it snaps back in pretty easily.
