I would rather have a PARALLEL charging feature, instead of the "consecutive" charging feature. I keep asking myself what's the big benefit of having a dual charger, if I cannot charge two batteries at the same time? With a size like this, I really do not understand. Additional problem: the unit does not display the hours/minutes of operation one has, when using SONY-NP-FV70. The display shows nothing. Even after the battery has been fully charged! I do realize that the remaining hours of operation depend on the camera and whether or not the LCD screen is used... And yet,the unit's display properly shows a reasonable time remaining, when used with SONY-NP-FV30.

Comments about Sony AC-VQV10 AC Adaptor/Charger:
I bought a Sony HDR-PJ580V last year. This is a must have if you do a lot of shooting. I can continually shoot with the camera while charging 2 batteries, one after the other. Now I am able to run and gun without having to use my camera as a charger. It has a great display and monitors the battery charge, which keeps you on top of your battery life. I gave 4 stars because it doesn't charge both batteries at the same time.

I use the AC-VQV10 to charge my NP-FV70 batteries for a Sony NEX-VG10.The charger works fast compared to the charger that came with the video camera. The only thing that I was disappointed about was the cord that came with it inorder to use this charger as an AC adapter was not designed for the Sony NEX-VG10. Luckily the camera came with an AC adapter.

Takes the guesswork out of charging. If only it could simul-charge. It is quick enough, and with a connection for the camcorder, eliminates a power supply if you're not charging the batteries in the unit.

It makes it so much simpler to charge my video camera batteries now! Previously could only charge it while attached to the camera, and sitting that onto the transfer station. It never charged the battery completely that way. Now they are charged competely - and I even get the indicator telling me when that will be!!

Comments about Sony AC-VQV10 AC Adaptor/Charger:
I use the AC-VQV10 to quickly get both my batteries fully charged before I head out for a shoot. It works fast, and automatically switches from charging the first battery to the second one so I don't have to mess with it. The LCD screen clearly indicates the charge level on each battery, so I can easily see how much more is left to go. It's light enough to throw in the bag if you're going on the road for a few days, too.
If you use a Sony camera that takes V, H, or P batteries, and charging them is an important part of your routine, this thing is well worth the investment.

Comments about Sony AC-VQV10 AC Adaptor/Charger:
I'm glad I purchased this charger, its nice to charge my batteries and keep my camcorder available for use. Also this charger charges faster then charging the batteries in the camcorder. The only thing that would be great is if it would charge 2 batteries at the same time, it charges one first and switches to the other one when done, but I know this when I purchased it. It tells you on the display how many hours of use is available on the battery,and how much time to fully recharge.

Provides display for standard charge and full 100% charge with level of remaining life and time to charge at two levels. Removable cord makes packing easier.
