Sony 1 hour charger $49, multi-voltage...

[erwinx]

I happened to pass by South Asia Computer at Funan and noticed a Sony '1 hour' charger for $49 (incl 2 batteries) that is multi-voltage (110-240v). I have no idea what the specs are but for people needing multi-voltage becos they travel a lot, seems like a good buy....

Just got one today. Allows you to charge 4 AAs and 2 of the slots can fit AAAs. Pretty small and compact and as mentioned, multi-voltage. Definitely made for travellers.

It's not an exactly 1 hour charger.

For that price, I would rather go for Rayovac charger.

saw them selling for $42 at some places too. $49 is overcharging the customers.

So whats the exact charging time ?

Also, its so much smaller than the Rayovac, easier to bring oversea.

1hr to charge 2 batteries to 80%

4 AA batteries would take like... 2-3hrs. until the light goes off.
