GREAT AA / AAA CHARGER 
2008-09-23
Having this unit with both a car charger and standard outlet charger cords makes it very handy. I wonder about it's design that lets you charge 4 AA but only 2 AAA batteries, but so far it meets my needs.
Not so quick 
2008-07-03
This charger for AA Ni-MH batteries is comparable in function to other similar products. The 12 VDC adaptor for recharging batteries in the car is a plus. Although the product was advertised as a "quick" charger, it still takes 5 hours to fully recharge a set of four 2500 mAh Ni-MH AA batteries.
Producto Excelente 2008-06-01
Compré este cargador y cargué 4 pilas Sony.
He tomado cerca de 200 fotos con el primer juego de 2 pilas
y todavía están funcionando.
Me parece una excelente adquisición.
NOT WORLD VOLTAGE COMPATIBLE 
2008-05-23
Contrary to product detail, it is only 110 V.
this will not work in europe or other places that have 220V.
super quick 5 hour charger 2008-04-23
Not too happy with "Super Quick" title on this product. It takes an estimated 5 hours to charge. My batteries have been charging for 3 1/2 hours and the charger is pretty hot. Would not leave this charger alone.

Looks great.... until you turn to the flip side 2008-01-15
I have used the Sony BCG-34HE4 Battery Charger for many years. I consider it an ideal travel charger since it is really compact, and works with worldwide voltages. Unfortunately, the charger offered here (Sony BCG-34HVE4) is NOT the same unit.
Looking from the front of this package, the new BCG-34HVE4 appears exactly the same as my old charger. But when I flipped the package over, I'm shocked to find another unsightly AC-adaptor wall unit (see my 'Customer Images'). This completely ruined the original compact design. Worse yet, the wall unit only works with 100-120V AC. This renders the charger useless for most part of the world outside of North America continent.
With a bulky AC adaptor, I would at least expect a faster charge time. No such luck. The charging current is exactly the same as that for the old charger, as shown below:
1-2 AA cells: 1050mA each
3-4 AA cells: 525mA each
1-2 AAA cells: 640mA each
I'm tempted to open the case of this charger, just to see how much empty space is in it (since the AC-DC converter has been moved to an external wall unit). But I can't even do that - because this charger is going back to the vendor.
Deal of the freakin' century... 2008-01-07
I bought these batteries to power my new Sony HVL-56AM top-mounted flash (for my Sony A100) and they've performed well. The second reason I bought these was because it was an absolute no-brainer:
Four (4) Sony Ni-MH rechargable batteries with an AC recharger AND a car adapter for $20?! :P
I recommend this product - but... 
2007-10-03
OK it is a little pricey but for a unit with both an AC and a DC charger and 4 2500mah batteries included it isn't too expensive. However there are two things that caught me by surprise.
1) It will charge up to 4 AA NiMh batteries BUT ONLY 2 AAA NiMh batteries. The design doesn't have a way to insert 4 AAAs.
2) The photo at the top of the Amazon page make it look like there is an LED charge indicator for each battery; not so. There are four holes to see if there is a battery inserted, but just one charge lamp. No big deal. Just a bit misleading.
Otherwise this product does what I wanted.
