Rating: Summary: World Class Feature Review: Anything that eliminates an AC-DC adapter from my luggage gets my attention. This is a small unit that has 110-220 volts US plug built in. No wall wart to schlep. Hooray!
Rating: Summary: Charging time Review: I bought this without knowing what the charging time was. I took a risk since it was at an affordable price and found out to my dismay that the charging time is as follows:1-4 batteries: 2100mAh Approx 7 hours 1700mAh Approx 6 hours 800mAh Approx 7 hours 700mAh Approx 6 hours I haven't used the product yet...I just got it today. I don't know. I might return it for the Kodak 1 hour charger one for the same price (18.99) but the deal is gone for this product, it's back to 19.99. Always...pretty fast shipping though =)
Rating: Summary: I love these batteries. Review: I have had the same batteries in my digital camera for over a week now. I have taken about 70 pictures, played around with my new digital camera, transferred images to my PC and the batteries are still going. I went through two regular AA batteries in a few hours before I got this. I would highly recommend this product.
Rating: Summary: Seems Like Cool, But Shipping Delay is Dissappointing Review: I ordered this product a week ago and it's still not have been shipped; despite the "ships in 24 hours" expression. The other items in the same order were delivered days ago, but Sony Power Charger is still waiting for shipment...
Rating: Summary: Great Battery Life...Good Work Sony! Review: I use these batteries for my Wireless Desktop & for my MD Walkman. Takes a while for them to die which is very good. No one wants to constantly charge a rechargeable battery. LOL. Anyway, good life on these batteries....
Rating: Summary: Timer Charger Review: This is a timed charger, but well matched to the supplied 2100mAh NiMH batteries. The manual recommends charging after a full discharge, so it may overcharge your partially depleted cell or an older cell with lower capacity. As long as you recharge a fully empty, ~2100mAh cell, it shall be fine. The included cells, actually made by Sanyo-GE, are premium cells, and only surpassed by Sanyo's latest 2300mAh cells.
Rating: Summary: The Best Investment for All Your Battery Needs Review: This set includes 4 AA cells Made in Japan for Sony by Sanyo, as well as a timed charger, NOT a smart charger as its similar looking Sony variants. The Sony Power Charger can recharge 4 AAA or AA cells at a time. Unlike the Panasonic BQ-390 which I also used and reviewed, this Sony uses a timer to stop charging. The Panasonic BQ-390 has advanced circuitry inside to monitor charging through temperature, voltage drop, and the cell's internal resistance, so that you'll get more precise charging and less damage from overcharging of simpler chargers. Sony also offers a similarly advanced product, but this model is a cheaper timed model. It charges the 2100mAH cells for 8 hours straight, or 800 mAh AAA cells for 7 hours straight. If you charge a partially used cell, it will not detect when the cell reaches full charge, and might overcharge. It's best to charge a fully depleted cell with timed chargers.
Rating: Summary: Great batteries Review: This was the best deal I found on rechargable NiHM batteries and that too these are made in Japan by Sony. It has a capacity of 2300mAh.
There is one problem with this. This charger does not automatically shut off when the batteries finish charging. So the first time I charged them, I kept waiting for the indicator to go off and I realized after 18 hrs that they are not going to go off.
So, though the batteries are good the charger is not. I would suggest people to go with another sony rechargable model that sells here for just a few dollars more.
