30 Ma Charging Rechargeable Battery Too Slow

This rechargeable battery is impressive, just like the flashlight. It goes for hours without charging.

I have yet to see such a high tech battery charger. It has all indicators, mA, mAh, volts. The best part is, it connects through USB port. You can charge with the charger that comes with the camera, or you can charge with cellphone charger. You need to have an external charger as you do not want to risk an expensive camera with a battery charging mishaps. Nor you want the camera to sit ideal during battery charging. It is a MUST HAVE product with a Sony Alpha series camera.

Fast (and slow) Charging!

Works welll charging drone battery which draws 30 watts.

It gives you 3 charging options...basically, fast, somewhat fast, and slow (which helps prolong the battery's life).

I have nothing negative about this rechargeable battery. I own 4 of them so I always have a back up. They are fast charging and last hours if not days depending on usage.

Coast “AA” Rechargeable Batteries 4 Pack, Model #30982 is a GREAT set of batteries. These batteries each have a built-in Type C charging port, and the 4 lead Type C charging cable is included with the batteries. The nice feature of this charging cable is that the input side has a standard USB Type A along with a Type C conversion adapter so it can be used with literally any traditional cell/smartphone as the charging power source. As a result of this unique charging cable, you now no longer have to carry/use a bulky charger base to recharge the batteries. I really like the fact that each battery has its own LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator charge light (red while charging and green when completely charged) and each rechargeable battery has the Coast overcharge/discharge protection circuit to protect the operating of life the battery. Depending on the charge that remains in the battery when it is recharged will determine how quickly the battery recharges to maximum strength, usually in a half to one hour time period. The rechargeable battery size is the same dimensions when compared the same size non-rechargeable battery, so they fit and work great in flashlights, radios, etc. where you have used traditional, non-rechargeable batteries. I really like the fact these batteries are corrosion resistant as I have ruined some flashlights in the past with traditional leaky batteries when they die. These batteries are an excellent choice to use in order to be environmentally responsible compared to the traditional throw away batteries! According to Coast, these batteries can be recharged up to 1,000 times so I am very impressed. This represents true cost savings when compared to buying traditional non-rechargeable batteries. I am a true believer in the performance of these Coast rechargeable batteries!

Here are some things that could be improved on this set of radios: - The charging station does not indicate when charging is complete - The Midland rechargeable battery makes the radio believe the radio is full-battery until it goes to low battery with no in-between Apart from that, there are excellent radio and well worth the price

I have a dual battery Nitecore charger and was disappointed in slow charge speeds. I read the same from reviewers about this charger also. Digging a bit deeper, I found Fujifilm recommends a 45 watt charging block - what a difference! Charger now works as I had hoped it would. The key is the charging block!

It's odd that the battery cannot be charged in my DSLR (unlike my Sony Camcorder), so charging one battery at a time is a bit slow. These Sony charges though are efficient at charging, and I have two now so that I can charge more than one at a time. (Works great with one battery already in the camera, with two more ready to go).
