Pro's: The charger is well build and robust, very good to use during travel as it works from 100-240V. It is a perfect replacement for the original charger. It works as expected and I'm very happy with this charger. Con’s: US power pin (flat), you need an adapter to use it in the EU.

This compact charger for specific cameras in Sony's Cybershot line is compact, sturdy, and does a great job quickly charging the Sony NP-BG1 batteries. With its retractable (or "fold-out") rear plugs, it transports easily, there's no cord to store. None to declare. I use my camera a lot. Although I have three batteries, I like to keep them all fully charged, in case of a long day. After a shoot, I review my pictures on TV and the camera needs a battery. The standalone charger is charging a battery at the same time. I could not work if my camera was busy charging a battery. Especially since these batteries take several hours to charge. The charger can travel easily as it is compact and light. But I use it all the time. Excellent Value for money. Read more

The charger worked very well and the led really show when the battery is charged. The charger doesn't heat up to abnormal temperatures and the plug seats firmly into the outlet. BG1 battery fits in the charger nicely. The device itself is very fragile. Its housing is divided into two parts and can split where is glued, which requires you to fix it with glue. The build quality could be better. It has a US flat socket, but, It will work for 110v-220v. it is useful, but you have to handle carefully to avoid breakage, It is cheap Read more

It's compact, and cheap compared to an original Sony, It charges the BG-1 and FG-1 batteries properly....sometimes. Read below.

It's compact, and cheap compared to an original Sony, It charges the BG-1 and FG-1 batteries properly....sometimes. Read below. On my travels (20 degC), I found both my orignal Sony BG-1 and a Pisen FG-1 batteries went flat prematurely. I noticed the night before that the charger completed charging a lot faster than usual, even though the batteries were quite flat. Since both batteries were equally affected, I concluded that this charger may have a tendency to stop charging too soon, and you may get a half-charged battery. Sometimes it does provide a full charge, but now I'm not sure how reliable this is. I think this product's circuitry is not sensing peak-charge properly, and thus may stop charging the battery too early. I would not rely solely on this product if I have an imporatnt photo-shoot event. In view of its inconsistent charging, I would not recommend this to people who really need a reliable charger.

This charger is perfect for my sony N2 with the BG1 battery. It works just fine! I've tested it as soon as it arrived as my original charger has been broken for 3 years now. great charger which is pratically free if you compare the price to an original sony charger which will cost 70€ here in Belgium! TOP BUY!!! Build quality is pretty good, maybe if i can make a little remark then it would be that the little plastic that pushes the battery against the contacts could be a bit better. But still even if it would brake of it can still perfectly charge your battery! maybe for the people with a round plug in their home, make sure to buy a converter to use it. See the videos if your not sure about what i mean. Perfect buy that does the work of the original charger for less then 10% of the original sony charger! Best buy, to be higly recommended! Read more

This is great if you have more than one battery and don't want to remove the battery from the camera to charge it. É muito bom se você tiver mais de uma bateria e não precisa tirar uma bateria da camera pra carregar a outra. None that I can think about. Maybe a power switch? Nenhum contra. Talvez um botão liga/desliga? I have a Sony DSC WX9 and needed other battery and a external charger. It's not good to private the use of the camera when you are charging the battery. Tenho uma Sony DSC-WX9 e precisava de outra bateria e do carregador. Não é legal ficar sem a camera quando você está carregando a bateria. I bought it together with other battery because with continue use my camera drains battery very fast. Comprei junto com outra bateria porque com uso contínuo a camera usa muito a bateria. Read more

Good buy and it dosnt cost to much Read more
