Slow charge May 15, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not nearly as fast as expected.......far prefer the lithium.......sold the camera because of this and went back to my Sony!
good charger, bad batteries May 14, 2008 The charger is well designed, compact, does not overcharge batteries, works with AAA battries, and I vaguely remember reading that this charger works with other (non-SONY) Ni-MH batteries (Although I admit I'm too lazy to check this last fact before publishing this review).
On the other hand, the batteries that ship with the unit loose their charge quickly. You have to charge the batteries the night before you use them. This makes them totally impractical. It's ridiculous to have to plan ahead 24 hours before you snap a picture with a camera.
Instead, I would recommend: GE/SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries You can also buy it with a charger: Sanyo Eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargable Batteries w/ Charger
Awsome battery life!!! May 11, 2008 I was tired of buying disposable batteries for a few things that required changing out frequently. I had used rechargeable batteries in the past and they had died quickly but these Sony Quick Charger batteries charge very quickly and last a fairly long time on high power settings (aviation headset, Xbox 360 controller). The charger is very compact and easy to use. Overall, this is an excellent buy and a must have to go more green!
So far so good. May 10, 2008 We have only had to recharge batteries once so far, but it works as promised.
no complaints ... May 6, 2008 Does pretty much everything you'd want from a charger. Quick charge, doesn't overcharge. Turns off when charged. Only complaint would be that you can only use 2 AAA's, not 4
