🔋 Sony BC-TRW Battery Charger - Optimal W Series Rechargeable Battery Charger Review

Yes, a million copies of FW50 chargers and I even have a few. Why did I buy this? I chose OEM batteries and wanted a charger with a charge level indicator. It's not that you can't charge OEM batteries with a counterfeit, but I've decided to just go with OEM products for the power supply. faster?) than chargers from other manufacturers. The switch to OEM batteries was a big deal, FYI. And you can find them on E-Bay for a lot less than you would at a camera store (or Revain).

The charger itself is excellent. It charges the battery that powers the camera that takes the pictures, which is a joy for the owner when they connect the battery to the charger. Everything is OK. But I think we can all agree that when you buy a camera that costs thousands, you expect it to come with a charger. So I'm only limiting this value because I think it should be cheaper since you're basically being blackmailed if you want to use the camera. Of course you can charge through the camera…

First of all I don't understand why Sony doesn't include this charger with the camera. Some curmudgeon came up with the idea of charging the battery in the camera instead of connecting an external charger. IMO, not a very good solution. Still, I like having a battery charger and would rather buy the original OEM brand than the third-party brand. So I had no choice but to buy a Sony charger. Another additional expense for my camera hobby, but I feel better paying more for an original Sony…

Great. Only buy a Sony charger for the relatively "slightly more" money you pay for that charger - it's often discounted now. The technology is better and so are the Sony batteries designed for your Sony devices. It has a better charging time than Wasabi and comes with 2 batteries. Now the Wasabi charger physically "pushes" the batteries out of the charger in a vertical tank - they don't seat properly to be recharged - this is very light after only 2-3 months of use. This Sony charger is…

Although twice the price (or more) than other SONY battery chargers for A6000-6500 cameras, I went with this charger. My previous (non-SONY) chargers died after a few years of little use. Third-party batteries stopped charging and the Wasabi battery began to warp and swell. The battery cannot be easily removed from the camera. I recently bought a new 6500 camera and SONY battery, didn't want to risk damaging another battery. The progressive state of charge is indicated by LEDs. When the LEDs…

This is the charger that Sony should have bundled with the new a7 and a7r. Very simple and good at what it does with two small things to note. First, the progress indicators are a plus. I hate chargers that only show a red and a green LED. I love chargers that show how charged they are and how much remains to be charged, so thanks to Sony for including three LEDs to show progress. is on and the "Charging" LED is off ... the battery is NOT fully charged. For a really FULLY charged battery you…
