Sony BCTRP Battery Charger for DCR-HC, DCR-DVD, HDR-HC3, HC5, HC7, HDR-UX5 & UX7 Camcorders

I had to buy this to replace the original that I lost. I love battery chargers plug directly into the wall outlet. This is great charger.

This product works as intended and does it flawlessly. It has a simple purpose and that is to charge your mini-dv batteries in a wall outlet. This is a much easier way to charge camera batteries and provides the extra convenience and benefit of ebing able to charge up an additional battery while filming with your other battery (assuming you have two, of course).

Wish I'd known about this product sooner! Just took it to Europe; folded up it fit perfect in the outside pocket of my suitcase. I plugged my camera into it to charge before going to bed each night, and was ready to go the next morning. I highly recommend it!

Sony battery charger is a must-have for the Sony high-definition cam it is a great for charging so hurry up and buy this if you have a movie cam
I would give this charger a rating of A

If you travel alot, this product is great for charging the batteries.
It's handy and compact.

I absolutely love it. It's small and it fits everywhere. I love the price too! Worth the money!

Great charging and fast too. You can't go wrong with the ease and convenience of this product.

if you have the m serie battery in your sony equipment you will enjoy having this charger, it eliminates the hanging cords or charging in the camera.

Extremely compact - thanks to small size and foldable pins.

Will never feel the burden of carrying it. Extremely worthful..

Much easier to recharge my camcorder batteries with this. Now I dont have to drag along the power cord and what not to charge the batteries. I like it alot. I also like that the prongs fold into the body, it makes it much more space efficient inside my camera bag.

My DCR-HC26 came with an adapter to charge the battery on the camcorder. Bulky and inconvenient. This battery charger is compact and the prongs folk in to neatly store in my camera bag. It also allows me to charge a spare battery while I am using another battery on my camcorder, unlike the AC adapter which can only charge battery I was using while I was tied to a wall outlet.

Big plus, no cord to clutter things up. Very compact and easy to use, would even fit in your shirt pocket. Relatively fast charging time. Can also be used in Europe, with the addition of a small adapter plug.

I like this charger. It is convenient to charge the extra battery while you are recording with the camcorder. Much easier than plugging up the camcorder to the battery charger!!!

This charger is so compact making it so easy to carry in the Sony carrying bag and charge in the outlet. It charges my extra battery in a matter of minutes. I love how the pronges swing out for charging and in when storing away.

easy to use. dont have to carry bulky ac adaptor any more. should have bought it sooner.

This charger is great for making sure that you always have an extra battery charged for your Sony camcorder.

This is one of the best things I have bought to go along with my Sony HDD Camcorder. Very convenient to take on vacation and make sure your extra battery (also a must) is charged when the other one runs out. No cords, no plugging into the computer, and it is pretty small and doesn't get in the way if you need to use the other outlet in the wall.

I received this item before the estimated arrival date. Very neat to have as it allows me to recharge my battery without having to leave the camcorder somewhere I don't have to. I travel a lot and use 2 batteries. When one is charging, I am still filming with the other. This charger works perfect.

This wall charger works conveniently for me, as I am always traveling and I often need a portable charger. I also love that the unit plugs right into my wall as compared to the other chargers, which use a cord. It is also less expensive than buying a new battery every time.

This charger is awesome! The battery snaps right in, and the entire thing plugs into the wall. An indicator light lets you know the status of the charge. You can be charging your second battery while continuing to use your camcorder. The best part is that it is so small, it easily fits in the bag with your camcorder.

There isn't really too much to review about this product. It's a battery charger and does exactly what it's supposed too. If you're looking for a compact battery charger at a good price, this will get the job done.

Its easy to carry around.
With this, you can always have both the batteries charging at the same time.
You don't need the entire Handycam charging station to charge the batteries.
its cool !!

P.S : A little expensive but worth the buy

great little charger... no longer need to carry around the brick to charge battereis... and off camera, so that's not tied up to do the charging...

This is a great portable battery charger. It is easy to pop out the battery and plug it in and charge it wherever I am.

I purchased this item so that I wouldn't have to have the camera tied up as a charger. I was impressed with how much quicker this item charged the battery compared to using the camera to recharge the batteries.

I would highly recommend getting the high capacity batter and this charger. This charger is smaller and lighter than the power cable for the sony camcorder. Besides, you can charge one battery while you are using the camcorder. This allows for continuous filming some event. Great for amateur camera man that wants continuous power without being attached to the wall with a power cord.

This is a great portable battery charger. It is easy to pop out the battery and plug it in and charge it wherever I am.

Item is as advertized and it works just great. Allows me to charge a spare battery while I'm using the camera.

I recently purchased the Sony SR-300 camcorder. I like the camcorder just fine, but why was this simple battery charger not included? I have Canon and Nikon digital cameras and the similar battery charger was included with both cameras. Surely this charger is not expensive to produce. If Sony was really interested in customer satisfaction they would include this charger with the camera as well as the cumbersome plug-in cord that comes with the camera. This little charger is a must-have item if you travel, but $40+ dollars is way too much; it should be free with the camcorder. Sony, wake up!!!

This Charger is perfect for travel. It is small and light weight and allows you to be charging a spare battery while you are using the camera.

V.handy and charges pretty fast.I bought it about two month ago and so far so good.

I got this charger and have really liked how easy it is to use. Not that chargers are all that complicated. Its also very small so it doesnt take up alot of space in my camera bag. Overall i have really like mine, and im glad that i got it.

This charger will charge batteries for you camera very quickly. It's very small and the wall prongs that you plug into the wall fold into the body for easy storage. it has a small yellow LED the turns off when the battery is fully charged so you can easily tell. much better than using the camera itself to charge the battery, and a whole lot faster. Great buy.

I just used this on a trip to Hawaii. Easy to use, quick to plug in and allowed me to connect my Sony Camcorder to my laptop while a battery charged. One charging while one battery working. No problems.

Having the ability to charge the camcorder battery while not in the camcorder is great.

I recently purchased a Sony DVD camcorder through Amazon.com. The only way to charge the battery is through the supplied power cord that hooks up to the camcorder. I find this very inconvenient since the connector on the camcorder is in a very awkward location, you cannot use the camcorder while you are charging a battery, and you have to leave the camcorder out in the open where my young kids might find it and possbibly break it. I started looking into buying an AC charger and found this one. I love it for its small size which takes up less room than the original power cord. Sony should just bundle this charger as a standard item with all their camcorder, especially the high end one. The price on Amazon.com was cheaper than buying it from the big retail chain stores. I paid [...] back in January 2007 and the price has gone up probably because it is so popular.

Be careful, the older model has the exact same model number and has a cord. The one where the plug folds in is far more compact. I never charge my battery on the camera anymore - I just charge the spare battery and swap. The plug folds into the charger so it's super compact. I leave the battery in the charger and it protects it from shorting.

Very fast delivery. I love it. A great accessory to have. Very good price.

Don't be a scroog. Pop for this extra, you deserve it. This little jewel fits in any bag and makes charging soooo much easier than wiring up your camcorder.
Light tells you when battery is finished charging. Charges any of my batteries in less than an hour.
I get one for all of my cameras.

This works fine for Sony battaries, but for some unknown reason, won't charge other over the counter battaries for the same camera. Disappointing in that respect.

Battery charger has met advertised specs and battery fit was right on and was accomplished easily. Amazon.com did excellent job of processing order during busy holiday. Shipping was prompt and without problems.

I am not an expert when it comes to this sort of thing, but I have used it for over 5 months and it works like a charm. It charges the battery (FP-71) quick and thoroughly. In short, if I lost it I would replace it with another of the same product.

After my camcorder wouldn't charge directly anymore, I looked into options and came across this device. Plugs directly in the wall, it's small and easily portable. Great to have at home and on the go.

Unless you are fine with pulling out your camcorder to charge the battery, this item is an absolute must-have; extremely small and efficient. It's a shame that Sony wouldn't include this in the higher-end models (such as the HDR-HC3). Pick this up today!

I bought this charger when I purchased my Sony DCR-DVD405 camcorder. It is extremely convenient, especially when traveling. The battery pack slides easily onto the charger, and the charger goes right into any outlet, taking up very little space on the wall. It is so much easier (and safer)charging the battery this way, as opposed to setting up the camcorder and plugging its long, often dangling power cord into an outlet. The last thing you want is someone tripping over the cord, or a small toddler yanking the camcorder to the floor. Also,in hotel rooms, you don't always have a convenient counter to leave the camcorder on for charging. The charger fits easily into any traveling case. I recommend this charger for its sleek design and overall convenience.

Comodo para viajar, con este cargador nos olvidamos del que trae la videocamara en la caja, que es incomodo a la hora de viajar.Pequeno y muy util, lo podemos llevar hasta en el bolsillo de la camisa.Acertada compra

This prodecut is small and the plug folds in. which makes it easy to travel with. I used it on may vacation this week. It was small with out long wires and easy to pack.

If you see this product in your country, check if it is the same model (even if they say BC-TRP). The Argentina version comes with an AC cable instead of foldable plug. If you want to save place in your bag, better get the USA version and an adapter for the plug otherwise you have to carry the cable.

The same happens with model BC-TR1.
