Use to charge camera battery, works efficiently and well, does the job. Small, easy to carry, but a bit bulky design to accommodate use for another type of battery as well (one I don;t use though). It is expensive, paying for the nmae, but there is no other brand that does the same job, so you're stuck paying extra for the Sony name. Other chargers have generic versions, no doubt this will eventually show in the market with an alternate generic, so no choice but to pay the extra $$

BC-TRN Charger by Sony
This was ordered as an OEM replacement that was lost. Works OK, but larger and not as compact for travel.

Comments about Sony BC-TRN Travel Charger:
Bought two of these to charge the originally supplied NP-BG1 battery and also for the addional two NP-FG1 batteries I purchased from B&H Photo for a Sony DSC-HX9V camera. This charger is much much faster than charging the batteries using the USB wire to the camera - depending on depletion - normally less than 2 hours. Couldn't have been without this purchase during a recent 4 week vacation - took over 4000 pics and 10 hours of movies - used all three batteries every day. These chargers were the perfect answer to charge the spare batteries using a small 100W inverter plugged into a cigarette lighter en route, or overnight in the motel. The charger works perfectly with both the BG1 and FG1 batteries.

Comments about Sony BC-TRN Travel Charger:
I use my camera a lot. Although I have three batteries, I like to keep them all fully charged, in case of a long day. After a shoot, I review my pictures on TV and the camera needs a battery. The standalone charger is charging a battery at the same time. I could not work if my camera was busy charging a battery. Especially since these batteries take several hours to charge. The charger could travel easily as it is compact and light. But I use it all the time.

If you have multiple Sony batteries you can consolidate down to one charger.

I purchased this charger so that I could keep the other charger in my camera bag. I use this one at home and sometimes leave the camera bag in my office. The camera is generally with me and this gives me ability to charge the battery w/o having to return to the office before going home.

Comments about Sony BC-TRN Travel Charger:
I lost the original charger that came with my sony camera and had to buy this other one. It is bigger than the first one I had, so it's worse for traveling. I also didn't understand how the litlle handle works. Is it for another type of battery? But in general, it works just fine.

Purchased this as a second charger for weekend getaways. Wanted to leave the original charger at home. It's lightweight, small in size, and I love the fact it's cordless. I'm now using it as my main charger at home.

Three stars, because of wording. Not a quick charger, but normal charging time, just glad it works good.

Works well. Outlet prongs fold in so they do not snag on items in a suitcase. So tiny and compact, they are easy to loose. I forgot mine at a hotel and had to order another one.
