When I got a new digital camera in October, I quickly realized how much battery power it needed. After only taking 120 shots the Duracell alkaline batteries I was using gave out. Being the frugal shopper I am, I went out and bought a Sony quick battery charger. Sony makes good rechargeable batteries, and I wanted the best batteries possible for my camera.

The quick charger came with not only the charger itself, but also 4 ni-mh batteries. I also bought an extra set of 4 ni-mh batteries for long shoots.

The Sony Super Quick Charger batteries are well, batteries. They take around three hours to charge, and work great. The charger has a little light that indicates when the charging process is complete, and automatically cuts of the power once the batteries are fully charged. The charger also works with AAA batteries. I thought about getting the 15-minute charge batteries, but reviewers said they didn’t last very long. Overall I am very satisfied with  my purchase.

I bought my Sony Super Quick Battery Charger with 4 rechargeable batteries at Amazon for only $20. This is a much better price than the $40 Radio Shack wanted to charge me for their house brand battery recharger. I also picked up an extra set of batteries here for $8.
