 good job May 2, 2008
This product is impressive for the price. Timely shipping as well. I'm happy.
 Good Product April 28, 2008
It's a good product that does what it suppose to do. Nothing to really rave about. It's four batteries and a charger.
Sony Quick Battery Charger April 25, 2008
This charger works as advertised, charges the batteries quickly and turns off when they are charged, if you forget to pull them out.
Batteries OK April 25, 2008
Haven't had a lot of time to check these out but they seem to work well.
 Good at first, worse over time April 23, 2008

OK so the title seems a little obvious... rechargeable batteries do lose capacity over time. However, I expected a little better from these batteries.
I have had the several sets of Sony batteries for over a year now with at least 20 charge cycles on each set. I probaby own twelve AA batteries in total along with the Sony charger. During the first year or so of use the batteries performed as expected and were pretty good. However, recently I have noticed that these batteries don't hold their charge for very long and the capacity is greatly diminished. In a very informal, unscientific test I compared the performance of my 1+ year old Sonys with a new set of (cheap Ray-O-Vac) Alkaline batteries when powering a small handheld fan from Brookstone. The new Alkaline batteries had a much stronger output than the fully charged (according to the Sony charger) batteries. Also the rundown time of the Alkaline was over twice as long as the fully charged Sony batteries. So I would say after roughly 20-30 charge cycles these Sony batteries have outlived their effective use.
The reason I started performing these tests was because I noticed that, in my wireless mouse, these batteries seemed to be running empty much more frequently than in the past. I would have to change them nearly once every ten days or so of moderate use. I also noticed that fully charged batteries seemed to be completely drained after about 9-10 days in storage (in provided clear slider case). During a two week trip to Hawaii I packed a set of 4 fully charged batteries for use in my digital camera. When it came time to use the batteries, they were fully drained and would not even power on the camera. I would have to say that even though I was initially impressed with the capacity (2500mAh seems quite high), but after longer term use they have been a disappointment.
I plan to purchase and test the GE/Sanyo Eneloop batteries and charger to see how they perform. I have read much better things about how the Eneloop batteries hold charge and maintain capacity over time.
