Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony BCG-34HRMF4 Battery Charger with LCD Display and 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries
Customer Review: Awesome product...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this charger for my brother as I have already been using one for myself and it has been working without any problems for over 6 months now. The battery life is superb and the charge status indicator is also really good...Customer Review: it was awful.
Summary: 1 Stars
it was awful. For some reason, the batteries run out extremely fast. I only charged it and didn't use it for several days, and the next time it won't even turn on the camera! I may have been unlucky, but I was really disappointed!Customer Review: Batteries TERRIBLE, Charger Solid
Summary: 1 Stars
The batteries that come with this charger are terrible and self-discharge within 24 hours of being fully charged. I complained to amazon and they were nice enough to send me a replacement, but there was the same problem with the new batteries as well. I would avoid this product unless you only want the charger, and plan on buying batteries elsewhere. Customer Review: Absolutely Pathetic
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently bought this Sony re-chargeable kit as well as a set of 4 Sony Re-chargeable batteries for my Canon PowerShot SX10IS. They are absolutely pathetic, the batteries discharge with in 10 minutes. I bought these after seeing many good reviews for this product. May be it is just only me who received a bad product. But overall I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. Customer Review: Great charger, very poor batteries
Summary: 4 Stars
The charger has three features that make it a great product. First it has the Refresh function, which discharges the batteries completely before recharging them. This helps to maintain maximum battery life avoiding the "memory effect" which reduces the battery capacity when it is recharged before it is completely discharged. Second, the display is very helpful to see the battery status, so you have more than a single led like in other chargers. Third, the batteries are individually recharged, so you don't need to recharged them in pairs like in other cheaper chargers.
Unlike the charger, the included Sony batteries are useless. Two months after I bought them, the charge lasts for less than two days if you don't use them. In other words, if I fully charge the batteries and I try to use them two days after, I will have to charge them again. You have to charge them everytime you want to use them regardless of the level they had.
5 stars for the charger, 0 for the batteries, 4 stars for the full package (the batteries can be considered an "extra").
I am using the charger with some Sanyo Eneloop batteries, and it works great. The Sanyo batteries charge lasts for months without any use.
