Sony BC-TRW UK Travel Charger for W Battery

Superb OE battery charger from Sony for charging my camera battery (W type). It is as you would expect well made and charges the battery at a decent rate giving accurate charge state information via a set of on board LED indicators. I like that it is mains powered unlike lots of the others available that are cradles requiring a separate USB charger as all my charging is done at home.

In my experience - the charger works as expected. Genuine Sony batteries charge well, the green charge lights synchronised with battery condition. Other non Sony batteries do not sync with the charging lights, ie charger will only charge to 2 lights (out of 3), however, battery will show as 100% in camera. Good quality product, definitely worth buying if you have lots of spare batteries.

Great charger:primary reason for purchase was to have 2 batteries and be able to charge one without having to tie-up the camera whilst recharging the spare battery. Only snag is the charging time is about the same as charging the battery in the camera, I was hoping for a faster charge.

Bought this along with a genuine spare battery to take on a 2 week holiday to Peru. The battery life on my A6000 is not great so I was concerned that I needed a reliable way to maintain power. Charger is fast and served me well with no problems. Particularly useful if you are moving around frequently and charging opportunities few. Whilst this may be more expensive than other alternatives I would recommend it based on my experience.

This is a must if you use the Sony RX10 II which only comes with in-camera charging. If you travel with the camera (and it's ideal for that IMHO) you'll need a second battery and this charger is the best way to charge the batteries while allowing you to use the camera. It has never given me a moment's trouble. An essential item if you travel with a second battery.

Received it really quick on free shipping even on an Isolated island! Great product, love the LEDs showing the charging progress, much more affordable than the battery itself! Plus its an authentic charger from Sony! At this price they could easily include it in their camera package like the A7 flagship models as they come at a high price :S! Nonetheless still a great product! Love it :D!

As I keep at least one battery fully charged and ready for use I required an easy means to do so. Compact unit but a bit on the pricey side, but all camera battery chargers suffer the same way.

Just like the headline- I like knowing that my camera battery is less likely to fail or set itself on fire whilst charging (I’ve never quite got round to trusting cheap third party chargers or batteries), but Sony do seem to charge a hell of a premium on their camera peripherals. Quality and build seem solid and it’s not disappointed- so piece of mind at a premium price.
