Sony BCG-34HRMD4 Super Quick Charger with LCD Indicator and 4 AA Batteries

Average rating: Stars

Excellent

I liked the charger very much its sleek definitely compact, Since I have a lot of places to travel I was looking for a compact charger and without an atatched plug since in every country we have a different plug.

Futher I found it easy to use just put the batteried and atatche the cord to power, furthe the auto shut feature is nice henc eu can keep the batteries in the night for charging.

All in all I give it a 5 star rating, since its quite meeting my expectation.

Nice battery and charger but it is not quick

This is a nice buy for battery killers like digital cameras and the batterys are built very sturdy unlike the cheap stuff. Only one problem if you are in a rush to use your product buy a set of regular batteries too.

really nifty because of the LCD but very slow compared to 2:

Sony BCG-34HRMD4 (mind you, it is NOT 'Super Quick')

Pro:
Sony BCG-34HRMD4 has LCD readout of progress/failure for each one

IMHO, I'd say that (unless you are forever in a mad rush) the LCD
screen (which indicates each battery's status) outweighs AA & AAA
NiMH chargers made by Rayovac or Energizer (although 15 minutes).

Con:
The two other brands (which are comparable for results) charge in
15 minutes (stated claim; you argue with them, not me).
These two brands are
- Rayovac 15-Minute (IC3 technology) (there's one w/ car adapter)
(you can get spotty/bad info by doing a Search for B0000A1OFY )
- Energizer 15-Minute chargers and batteries (Search B0000DIIAS )
(note well that the Energizer people make/sell three different AA
batteries that are rechargeable NiMH; they have different limits.
Check and double-check (by walking into the physical store if you
have time and mobility) the different grades of AA batteries. You
will see that just because they look alike on the outside and say
basically the same thing (brand logo, design, color), they aren't
all the same. No time to figure out for you the exact strengths I
saw in the store; suffice it to say that you want the maximum one
(I think the capacity is 2500 mAh; the 2 others hold less juice).
From what I saw by reading labels (super fine print, no pride) it
seems that the AAA size NiMH Energizer cells come in only 1 power
(I forget the strength, but it was less than any 1 of the 3 AA's)

Even though you CAN find and buy a Sony or Energizer battery that
will charge/work when using Sony/Energizer/Rayovac NiMH chargers,
I seriously suggest that you opt for the Rayovac 15-minute cells.
They might and probably will cost you more cash up front than the
other two brands (Sony/Energizer), but it seems that Rayovac's 15
minute technology has a lot to do with their cells/batteries, and
the other two makes are perhaps more passive. You'll get adequate
info about the pros and cons by entering a well-stocked store and
whipping out the magnifying glass to study the fine print. Basics
are NOT spelled out for everyone to see: stuff such as CAPACITY &
whether you can charge 'unequally-yoked' batteries (varying loads
or brands, for example). In case you use Rayovac (aka Ray-O-Vac),
beware the high heat that is generated, even when used CORRECTLY.
Don't let young people or airheads handle that brand's 15-minutes
line of products; they'll mess up (burn skin or total the house).

No, the chargers are not as dangerous as old-time pressure cooker
valves BUT you should read and follow instructions BEFORE use. It
is not in the best interest of the various manufacturers to focus
attention on SAFETY, since they'd have more trouble selling their
products. They DO disclose safety precautions, BUT IN small PRINT
