Kodak K6100-C+4 1hr Charger Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great charger and batt's for the price.
Comment: I have three of these, two at home and one at the office.

I originally only had one but I liked it enough to come back and get two more. For $12.88 each and then free shipping you can't go wrong!

It looks like they are $25 each now for some reason. That's weird.

Well, they are great little chargers and the batt's last a long time in my dSLR. Hope they fix the price mix up.

Summary: Good Charger, Batteries So-So
Comment: This charger works good. I had a regular charger which took 24 hours to charge 4 batteries. This one does it in an hour, but even though the batteries are upgraded in strength, they are still 1.2V. They do not have the power of the throw aways, which are 1.5V. Kodak needs to work on the camera end. All and all a good buy. Unit has detachable power cord instead of swing out plug making it easier to plug in close quarters and power strip situations. A two battery rapid charger would be best and easier to carry with the camera on trips.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, but slower than advertised
Comment: I've had this charger for a day and have recharged about a dozen batteries with it, from several manufacturers.

Advantages:
--Small and light
--Good instructions
--Reasonably fast
--Easy to use. All batteries are inserted with the positive end in the same direction, so there's no fiddling with orientation. Batteries are spaced widely enough so it's easy to get them in and out.
--Comes with 4 batteries labeled "up to 2500 mAH" (not 2100 as indicated here)
--inexpensive

Disadvantages:
--Slower than advertised. According to the package, the only way you get charging in an hour is when you're charging two 1700 mAH batteries. If you do four batteries, or batteries with higher capacity, it'll take longer -- I've been doing four at a time and it has taken up to 3.5 hours.
--Doesn't plug directly into the wall. Uses a power cord. But the power supply is inside the charger itself, so at least there's no separate power supply brick. To some people, the cord might be an advantage, since you can position the charger wherever you want.
--Can recharge 4 AA batteries, but only 2 AAA batteries.

I got mine directly from Kodak, "on sale," and I still paid more than the Amazon price listed here (thirteen bucks).

All in all, I'm happy with this item, but calling it a "one hour" charger is not really accurate.

Customer Rating:
Summary: long lasting
Comment: These batteries are a wallet saver. For at home general use, about 30 pictures a week, I only have to charge them once a month. If I use them continuously, like at the zoo or an amusement park, they last about three hours or so. It depends also on the camera I use them in. They do tend to last a little longer in my Kodak camera than in my Pentax (which used to eat through batteries in 30 min or so with alkalines...arrrgh).

Customer Rating:
Summary: A little too large for me, maybe a good home charger, not really for travel.
Comment: This charger is OK. It works fine, not as quickly as advertised, but that doesn't bother me so much. The problem is I bought it to use with my digital camera, which takes 4 AA batteries. I wanted a fast but small charger so that I could travel with it, but this one does not fit in a camera case, it has to go into the suitcase. Also, it does not have a built-in plug, it has a fairly long cable, which is one more thing to carry. So, if you are looking for a home charger, this may be fine, but it is no travel charger.
