 Love this! LCD shows when the battery's slightly off-center, so you can re-align it before you wait...& only 3 of 4 are charged. July 28, 2010

Love this! It's a 4 battery charger. The LCD display is more than worth the few extra dollars. It even shows when one battery is slightly off-center or askew, so you can re-align it before you wait for hours... . then find out that only 3 are charged. Three completely charged batteries are pretty worthless when the camera needs 4 fully powered batteries to take your photos. Three are just as good as none at all! Imagine how bad that timing could be for your photo opportunities. .
Lots of other great features to the charger, but this little bonus wasn't mentioned at all in the reviews that I happened to read. Thought I'd add a new tidbit to the pool.
 Excellent camera July 25, 2010

These are both excellent items. The battery charge lasts very long and the only problem I found is that the cable is a little hassle to carry around. The previous SONY charger I had had a plug on it and we didn't need cables. But overall I would recommend the items.
Good batteries, great charger! July 20, 2010

I use AA batteries all the time - I have literally a dozen and a half sets of rechargeables of all brands and about half a dozen different chargers. Most are very basic "straight to the point" chargers, which is why this one interested me.
Right off the bat, the charger looks nice - it's got a stylish white design (much like Eneloop batteries), but unlike most chargers this one uses an AC power cord (opposed to the flip-out prongs most use). This can be good or bad, depending on what you prefer (for travel or a low-profile look, the flip-downs are great - for setting on a desk or home-use, sometimes the power cord is nice (especially when trying to plug several chargers into close outlets). Keep in mind it has a power cord though!
It also has a "flip down" cover - this again can be good or bad (good in that it keeps everything looking clean, and "protects"/holds the batteries in), bad in that it's an extra piece to worry about.
Now the great things about the charger are the refresh button (which drains all the batteries then fully charges them - unlike most chargers which simply fill them up from their existing amounts) - this supposedly gives better charges (batteries last longer/work better). The other very cool thing is the LCD display which shows you the charging status of each battery! Most chargers using static LEDs to indicate charging or charged, this one lets you know just how charged each one is - the other great thing is you can charge whatever amount you want (1, 2, 3 or 4 -- some chargers require you to charge in pairs (either 2 or 4 at a time - you can't do 1 or 3)).
The batteries are OK - nothing special (they are 2700 mAH which is great, but not "LSD" like eneloop so they wont hold a charge too long). I wish they'd just sell the charger by itself as the "combo" price makes it a bit expensive if you don't need the batteries.
Overall works great, has nice functionality to it and comes with a pack of 2700mAH batteries if you need them. One thing I think is a bit misleading is the "SUPER QUICK CHARGER" claim - the thing takes several hours to charge (longer to "refresh") which does not mean "Super Quick" to me. This is actually a good thing as the 15-minute chargers harm the batteries.. I just wish they wouldnt advertise it as "Super Quick" when it's not.
One other bonus (which actually is the case with most of these AA chargers) are that they can also charge AAA batteries.

 not what expected June 13, 2010

-the lcd screen shows you the charging rate.... but it must be inaccurate for, I will have a battery charge overnight, take it out and not use it right away. a few days later it will be at 0% without even using it? b/c when I try to use it, it won't work, so it will have me charge it all over again. so now i just leave it in the charger until use, but even after it shows it's been fully charged I will use the batteries, and they won't be at 100% I really don't get it. If anyone could help me understand why this is not working properly that would be great. With the little battery life I do get out of it, they seem to work fine, just seems i have to charge them a lot more often compared to my cheap old battery charger I had. Figured I'd spend the money on this, since sony is usually a good product.... i don't know.
