This is a dinky little charger in which the sony np-bx1 battery fits perfectly. Works ok; charges sony nbx1 batteries, but a little pricey considering no batteries are included in the package.

Cons
A usb charger (dcp type, if you are an engineer), this charger never draws more than 480ma.

But this charger fully charged my battery 1640 mah in 1 hour and a half and notifies me with the green light that its fully charged

Bought this charger for my sony dcr sr35 which has the np fh40 battery
Thats why i began looking for a generic alternative
Personally i prefer plugging into a usb 2 supply because it has a lower current than usb3
