Sony Rechargeable Battery Charging Time

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

It's great to have a rechargeable battery...I use the headlamp all of the time!

With a short battery life in the Sony E mount cameras and a long recharging time you need to be charging two batteries at a time to keep up. Those dual battery chargers you often find will only charge one battery at a time, not simultaneously. I like the status indicator in the unit. It also plugs directly into the wall socket, no separate cord to lose or misplace.

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).

Great for charging more than one battery at a time

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

The battery lasts for a long time . I love using the rechargeable battery over the batteries.

This is my first time purchasing rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries with a built-in USB charging port. That's a very convenient way to charge the battery especially if you forgot the adapter at home.
