 A Fine Charger March 18, 2006
35 out of 36 found this review helpful
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.
Since Amazon deletes reviews which discuss "price" I'll be far less inclined to publish any more reviews at Amazon in the future. Amazon just deleted one of my top rated reviews (100% positively rated and, by a very wide margain, the most popular review of a particular product) because I mentioned price and Amazon's past discounts.
Nice package. October 8, 2004

i bought these batteries for a digital camera i had recently bought. with standard batteries i could take about 10 pictures before the batteries were spent but with the 2300 mAh batteries i can take 300 with the flash on. the charger is nice and compact and charges 4 batteries in 4 hours and 2 in about 2.5 hours. its a great package for the price.
Highly Recommended, well worth the money! April 14, 2005

I just bought this Sony High Capacity 2300 mAh Super Quick battery charger from Amazon last week. We were going through one pack of 24 AA regular batteries every 3-4 weeks and I saw this one on sale at Amazon. I took the pludge and decided to buy it with a few extra packs of batteries. We go through so many batteries in our house with the children and so far these batteries have lasted an entire week on one charge. My daughter who is 2.5 carries her VideoNow Jr. around with her religiously and this was the one electronic that we kept going through so many batteries with. Also my digital camera is still on the same set of rechargeables for a week also. This was the best $30 I have ever spent and hopefully this will save us money in the longrun when we have another child, we will then use them for the baby bouncer and swing that takes AA batteries (those items also eat batteries). This is also a very sleek eye appealing charger. It's small and compact, ideal for travel, and has a worldwide voltage of 100-240V. Also I like the flip up and down plug-in so you can pack it in your bag for travel and not worry about the plug breaking, I find this convenient for children so they can't play with it, it's harder for kids to flip it up, but easy for adults. Also it has a cover on top so that if you have kids crawling around or toddlers and they accidently get to it they can't get to the batteries and hurt themselves. Lastly, there is a light that turns on when charging and it has an automatic shut off when the batteries are fully charged. Takes 4.5 hours for each charge.
 Charges 2 (not 4) AAA batteries December 21, 2004

Amazon's description for the Sony BCG-34HD4 charger is misleading. It can only charge 2 AAA battery (not 4 as described in item's description). It doesn't say it on the charger's package and I only found out about it when I opened the box. Now I can't return it. Please read other reviews before you buy it, don't make the same mistake I did.
Otherwise the charger is OK. It's fast and small and easy to use.
A very decent charger March 25, 2006

As i travel a lot to different places with varying voltages this charger suits me very well. Also the Sony battery which comes along with this is 2500mA which offers the best battery life in any electronic equipment. I kind of like the design of this charger which has the neat charging compartment with shutters. Also this has a automatic cutoff saftey, Voltage monotoring functions, saftey timers which all accounts for the health of the charged battery which in turn yields better battery life.
Another plus point is it charges both AA and AAA Ni-MH batteries with support for 2500mAh,2300mAh,2100mAh,900mAh,800mAh. Phew... so thats a big range in case if u have old lesser mAh Ni-MH batteries. The typical charge time i see from 0-full on 2500mAh is 3hours 10 minutes with all the 4 batteries on which is ok (instead of those fast chargers which kind of heat up the batteries and would reduce some battery life...)
So in over all this is a neat piece of equipment that u must have as u dont need to worry about changing voltages..
Also i booked at Amazon and it came to me pretty fast..Keep it up AMAZON :-)...
