User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Timed charger?
I only noticed this was a timed charger a couple of days after I ordered it (didn’t even think Sony would still sell such a thing, at the time I was ordering). I’m keeping the batteries, but the charger will stay in a drawer – bought an Eneloop to replace this.
1 Star Bad Charger!!
Well, I bought this product taking in account reviews made by customers. A lot of people says it’s a good product, but my experience it’s completely different. Basically the charger is a timed charger and does not detect batteries been fully charged. I have used this charger for over a year. At the beginning I thought I was doing it wrong. Batteries very hot after “charging” and charge does not last any longer than a month. I use the batteries for mouse and keyboard. I have an energizer charger with charge indicator and it’s working just fine batteries charged in it last for months and no problem at all. Does not charge batteries as it’s supposed to do.
I don’t recommend this product, it’s really bad.
5 Stars It charges.
not much to say. it charges just like it’s supposed to. We bought and extra 4 batteries and just swap them out.
1 Star destroyed batteries with heat
after 1 year noted batteries very hot–had to cool off under running water i would not buy this –i consider it flawed–battery charges have to a thermal overload circuit for protection—Sony will not replace destroyed batteries after 1 year
4 Stars Simple and usefull
Charger may not be so quick, but is compact, very easy to use and economic.
I agree there is no need to be selling such a cheap and nast charger these days. Look for chargers with delta v controll which will detect when the batteries are charged and switch to trickle charge. They only cost a few bucks more and are worth every cent.
