What our customer's say!

"You dont find inexpensive chargers like this", Most inexpensive chargers use a very high rate of charge that over heat your batterys and shorten there life.Fast chargers are not good for your batterys.This charger charges at a safe rate and your battery always stay just warm.Sony gives you a set(4)of 2700 mah capacity batterys that is the highest capacity at this time and great for power hungry electronics.The BCG-34hrmf4 is differant than most fast chargers in that each cell has a seperate charge curcuit.This charger has a cell discharger called a "refresh" (button).These batterys are different than cell phone batterys.These batterys should be discharged (the device tells you to change them) before charging but not totally dead.When you charge your batterys before they are drained or discharged they will not charge at full capacity so every 3 or fourth time of charging use the refresh button.If your batterys are not discharged but you expect to use then good the next day discharge then with the "refresh" then they will charge to full capacity.This charger will take 2-3 to recharge your batterys and about 4 hours to discharge and charge partly charged battery.If you have a charger that charges in half this tine its cooking your batterys....

"Sony NiMh charger and batteries", More than pleasantly surprised with the quality of the charger and amazed by the modern high-tech batteries supplied in the kit. It does everything in the advertising hype plus more. And the price is very reasonable. So I have nothing but good things to say about Sony and I believe Sanyo batteries I bought through Amazon. I have had mixed results with Sony in the past with two laptops unexpectedly going to computer heaven when needed desperately. But as far as this charger and the batteries supplied with it I can find no fault. And the service suppled by Amazon is outstanding as well. Thank you and Happy and Prosperous New Year to all involved including other Amazon customers.

"An excellent charger", Good to charge AA and AAA batteries. The charge cycle is quite fast and the design is good-looking and functional.

"works nicely", I have only being using this charger for a few weeks, and it's the first one that I own. So far it's working great. It takes a few ours to charge the four batteries at a time. Turns off automatically when is done. A little bulky but not too bad.

"Works great. Worth the cost.", This charger is a little pricy compared to the garden variety found at local retail outlets. But after my batteries were quitting after only a few charges, I knew I needed something better. This solves the problem. There is a refresh function which brings lazy batteries back to life. I think if batteries don't get worked hard enough, they no longer take a full charge. That appeared to be happening with my batteries because they would run down after only a short time in my digital camera. The best thing about this charger is it requires no attention at all. Just install the batteries and plug it in. Then come back in a couple of hours and they are fully charged. You can monitor the progress with the neat display. Not all batteries charge at the same rate, but this unit compensates for that. Then it automatically shuts off when the charging is completed. Overall, simple to use and gives excellent results.

"Charged", Its great for your batteries to be able to refresh them before charging. Prolongs battery life

"Broken in less than 24 hours", I was pretty happy to receive this in the mail the other day, but excitement turned to disappointment when it was broken in less than 24 hours use. 1 of the 4 AA battery slots no longer works. Not at all the level of quality I expect from Sony.

If you buy one, be sure to keep your packing slip and packing material in case you need to return it.

"Sony BCG-34HRMF4 Battery Charger", I bought the Sony BCG-34HRMF4 Battery Charger. Received the order very quick. Very satisfied with the purchase price for this item. Looking forward to using this site for any future items purchased.

"Charger good, batteries not", Charger is good. I've used it internationally and it worked well (wish it was a little more compact though)

Batteries did not last as long as I hoped. They lose their charge too quickly now after a year of infrequent use. I switched to sanyo eneloop rechargeables and so far they seem to keep their charge longer than the Sony's that came with this charger.

"Not worth the extra $ for an LCD display", You can typically find this deal all over Amazon if you look, just type in "sony battery charger" and you'll find 4 or 5 different versions of what is essentially the same product in slightly different (if at all) casing. My advice? If you're looking for a Battery charger, get one that isn't Sony.

The batteries recharge just fine, and work much better and much longer than rechargeable batteries of the past, but after about a year (if not less) they start to lose their charge. I would trust bigger battery brand names more than I would sony, to be honest, but I bought this because I had a lot of sony rechargeable batteries.

I got this Battery Charger as a replacement for the one that was lost/thrown away by accident (by my neices/nephews) figuring the LCD display would be a nice feature to have so that I could tell when my batteries were gonna be charged.

Well, the first charge took about 8 hours. Before you go saying "that's ridiculous!", consider that it was the first charge, and the first charge for any charger/batteries is going to take a while. Afterwards I got batteries to charge in 1-3 hours. However, the LCD display was POINTLESS.

Why do I say that? Well...simple....IT DOESN'T WORK! It displays the battery animation for recharging, but the refresh rate for the animations is so poor that you could take a battery out when the display showed it as being about half charged, put it back in, and it would show it as being nearly fully charged if not more. In other words, the LCD lags something terrible and does not offer any REAL information about how well charged the batteries are. It's easier to just wait for the little light to turn off on the simpler, CHEAPER models.

There are a few nice things about this model that I should mention before closing this otherwise scathing review, or else why did I give it 3 stars instead of 1?

First off, the charger is considerably larger than the other models and thusly harder to lose.

Second, instead of just 2 slots for AAA batteries like on the cheaper models, there are 4 slots on this model.

Third, the model is very sleek and nice looking, and even though the LCD doesn't work as well as I'd hoped, it is kind of nice, I guess.

and last but not least, unlike other models this one does not plug directly into the wall, it has a detachable power cord that is long enough to hide if necessary and makes for a greater capability of movement/placement of the charger.

All things being told, it's not the worst charger in the world. I looks nice, it works, it has more AAA slots than the others..."That'll do, sony. That'll do."

My advice? If you're going sony, get the cheaper model -- it's easier, it works better, and best of all it's cheaper. Just be careful not to let it disappear on you.
