Great Charger
(5 out of 5) by Charles R. Crowley on Nov 8, 2007 (Madisonville Ky 41431)Sure beats the he** out of the factory charger that came with the camera. It charges in about 1/3 the time. Takes about 1 hour 15 minutes rather than the 5 hours the Sony charger takes, and works either in the car or the house. As a location photographer working from my car's cigarette lighter is great. I only have to carry one extra battery for that camera.
Only wish it would charge the batteries in my other cameras as well but, oh well, can't have everything but this charger comes close.
The first one shipped was bad but was promptly replaced with a good one and I can't ask for more.

Get this item NOW!
(5 out of 5) by Sandro Rodriguez on Jan 8, 2008Here are the instructions:
1. Order your Sony Cybershot Camera
2. Order the $15 buck Ultra-Fast Charger
3. Retrieve your packages
4. Open the Sony Cybershot camera Box
5. Get the original Cybershot battery charger AND THROW IT AWAY!
6. Use the Ultra-Fast Charger to fully charge the battery in under an Hour!
Yup! Thats about it folks!
Some marketing genious at Sony decided to include a cheap (3-4 Hour!) Sony battery charger with the cameras, and separately sell the Sony 1 Hour charger for about $50!!!! What a Rip-off! What a low road to take to make an extra buck! I mean, come on Sony! Stop bundling 10 year old technology with your new cameras!
Anyways, this charger works just as it says! 45min to about an Hour to fully charge your NP-BG1 battery. Red and Green LED indicate when the battery is fully charged. The included car adaptor works flawlessly as well. However, I did not receive the Mini Tripod which was supposed to be included. I didn't take any points off, because I wasn't really interested in it anyways... but its something I should warn you about.
Overall, do yourself a favor, get this charger and save some money for a bigger memory card, or some other camera accesory!

Very affordable and works great
(5 out of 5) by R. Hufford on Jun 19, 2008 (missouri)I was unsure about this product at first because it was so cheap. I've had it for a year now and I've never had any problems with it. I definetely recommend this product.
