Product Description

From the Manufacturer

There is no easier way to charge your InfoLithium P Series battery than with the BC-TRP battery charger. It's as simple as plugging the unit in to the wall and inserting a battery. The BC-TRP features charging times as fast as 125 minutes (with the NP-FP50 battery pack), yet is small enough to take anywhere. It's compatible with the following batteries (with charge times):

• NP-FP50 (full charge/normal charge time): 185 min. / 125 min.
• NP-FP70 (full charge/normal charge time): 315 min. / 255 min.
• NP-FP90 (full charge/normal charge time): 490 min. / 430 min.

It's compatible with the following Sony camcorders:

• DCR-HC20, DCR-HC30, DCR-HC40, DCR-HC65, and DCR-HC85

This review is from: Sony BCTRP Battery Charger for NP-FH Series Batteries (Electronics)

As a mom of a young son, having a power cable hanging off the counter with my camera attached was just an invitation for trouble. I purchased this item prior to a Disney vacation, along with a 2nd battery, so that I could charge up one battery while still being able to use the camera (given that Sony decided to go with the odd quirk that you can't charge the battery on the camera unless the camera is completely OFF). This charger is small, light, and fast. It fit easily in my camera bag, and let me leave my cables at home. I love that it plugs directly into the outlet with no cable, and that the batteries don't get hot. This may be the best accessory out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small and light, October 8, 2005

This is a great buy. It plugs directly into the wall outlet and a handy ability to folding the prongs back into the unit. In my opinion, it is smaller and lighter than the pictures suggest. It seems about the weight of a pack of gum. There is a light to indicate when charging is complete. Seems well built.

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.
