Features

Overview: The Sony BC-TRX battery charger is designed to charge many of the batteries used in Sony CyberShot cameras. It can accommodate several different series of batteries. It also comes with a USB cable that allows you to charge some cameras that charge via micro USB.

Compatibility: The battery charger can be used to charge Sony InfoLithium X, N, G, D, T, R, and K-series batteries. It should not be used to charge Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cad) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. (See below for specific compatible batteries and charging times.)

Retractable AC Plugs: The Sony BC-TRX has a folding 2-prong AC plug on the back of the unit.

USB Output: The charger has a Type A USB port that can be used with the supplied USB cable to power or charge devices that have a micro USB port. A switch on the charger lets you switch between battery charge and USB power.

Charging Indicators: The BC-TRX features 4 charging status indicator lamps, so you can easily view the progress and status of your battery's charge. One LED indicates whether or not the battery is charging, and the remaining three LEDs indicate the level of the charge: 0 LEDs=0-30% charge, 1 LED=30-60% charge, 2 LEDs=60-90% charge, and 3 LEDs=90% - full charge.
