Kastar Home Travel Charger Replacement for Sony NP-FM50 NP-FM55H NP-F330 NP-530 NP-F550 NP-F570 NP-F730 NP-F750 NP-F770 NP-F960 NP-F970 Battery

I have a bunch of chargers usually at least two for each camera and considering that this isn't an OEM product I think it's particularly well made. I like that there's some heft to the unit and that the seams are even and tight. An especially nice touch is that the wall prongs swing out form the side as opposed to up and down which is the case for most every other charger I have.The problem with this is I can't tell you how many times I got to push a charger in the socket and the prongs fold back down. Intentional or not this design makes a lot more sense.As for charge time there are so many variables involved that determine charging times. O ordered this along with a Sony NP-F550 battery arrived completely drained (I tested it) and took 4.5 hours for a full charge which in my book isn't bad.It arrives in a generic box along with a car adapter and a small sheet of instructions. I use it almost every day and it works just fine as for the price less than five clams and Free Two Day Shipping with your Prime membership how can you beat it?Highly Reccomended

Please note that the prongs are both the same size; one is not larger than the other as we have had in the USA for years. This means it can be plugged in upside down, and it won't charge correctly. If plugged in upside down, the green light may glow, even though it is not at full charge. If your wall electrical socket is oriented so there are two lots at the top and a hole (ground) at the bottom, then plug it in with the logo at the top reading correctly. The red light should glow until it is fully charged. At that point the green light correctly glows. It is possible your wall electrical socket was installed with the hole (ground) at the top, and the two slots at the bottom. Reverse what I just wrote and you will be fine. Included is an adapter to be plugged into your car. I won't be using that. I don't trust that it is sophisticated enough that I would risk my cars expensive, sensitive electrical components should it malfunction.

'China Cheap', and that's reflected by the price and is the reason it was purchased. This is going into the camera bag and if it gets lost or destroyed on the road, so be it. It's being used in conjunction with a pair of NP-F550 batteries to power a CN-160 LED light pack.It came with no instructions other than a general warning on the side of the box saying: "WARNING: In order to avoid fire and electrical shock, do not open shell and don't put the charger to a place of wetness or humidity or high temperature." While not perfectly worded, it's meaning is not confused by legaleeze, (the language lawyers use to tell us what they don't mean, or not tell us what they do mean).I do not plan to plug it in and leave it unattended. It may work perfectly for the the rest of my life, but am not going to trust it to do so.I does have two lights. Red and Green. So, it also comes with it's own Chinese Puzzle. In time I'll figure out what they mean, but at this point will take a wild guess and say; when the light is green, it's charging; when it's red, it's finished charging.

I use this charge to charge my Backup bateerise overnight and bateries are ready to go in the morning fully charged. I use batteries which I charge on this charger for my digital camera lights, so I only need use lights some times. You should know for my REAL Sony Batteries I use the Sony Speed Charger and that Charger runs about a $100, and it's worth it. Yet! I must say for the product here the price is great for this is a fantastic little charger. It is cable of charge many different batteries. As I have mentioned this charger works exceptionally well to charge my back up batteries which I use for digital camera lights Good product and great price!

I looked far and wide for this type of charger. The prices that I found locally were as high as $50.00 for a unit that would recharge my Sony battery. I found the Bargain Cell shop on Amazon and they were asking @ $14 including shipping. I ordered it without any special shipping on a Sunday night and it arrived on the following Thursday. I opened the package,inserted the battery and now a few hours later have a fully recharged battery.As usual - a business that operates thru Amazon who I am 100% satisfied with. At this point all I can say is that you will not be disappointed with Bargain Cell.

It's not the most rigid unit you've ever seen, but as long as it works, it's a huge bargain. It's got a built in standard wall plug, and a lighter plug for an automobile. I've only just begun using it (with a similar bargain Sony-compatible battery pack) and, what can I say... it charged fine. Very good price. I'd recommend it to any casual user... a professional, who travels with his gear might want to look for more expensive, but sturdier units.3.5 stars on its own, 5 stars considering bargain price

I keep this battery charging kit in my camera backpack to keep my batteries handy. I like the fact, while I am out taking pictures I can still be charging my 3rd or 4th battery replacement set in my truck. If you want a worry free weekend of shooting you can be sure you will have ample battery supplies ready with this handy 12v or 110v charging system! If you like photography and worry about your batteries running low when it seems at the worst possible time, but this very inexpensive kit, you won't regret it!
