Works very well with Sony NP-F970 batteries. Does exactly what is expected of a dual charger.
However, I don't like the fact that the battery adapters fail to stay in place. They are always dislodged when removing a battery.

Worked as advertised but interchangeable adapter for Sony battery releases from the charger base with the battery when you remove the charged battery. A better design to keep it in place would be nice. A quick fix for the end user: cut a small piece of double stick foam tape (3M type) and put it between the end of the adapter and the charger body. So far so good.

The unit that I received from B&H works well. I like the features where you can monitor the progress of charging the batteries.
