I must have a Sony curse or something... everything I buy from them breaks right after the warranty expires... 2 camcorders, 2 discmans, my PS2...This worked great for a while, but then started rejecting batteries left and right. I had to re-insert them about 10 times to get the charge to begin. Ironically, it won't charge the included Sony batteries at all, but still kind of works with my energizers...
