Battery Charger for A6400

[Lee H]

Hi there

I am wanting a battery charger to charge my batteries, instead of plugging the cable into the camera to charge. Anyone use one? Also want a spare battery too.

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Lee

Maybe others on this forum have alternative best price/third party solutions.... which I am sure they will advise accordingly.....

I have one that came with 2 spare batteries, but I don't recall the brand.
The good thing about the battery being shared across so many cameras for so many years is that you have many aftermarket choices. Here is one example by Neewer:

Amazon.com : Neewer NP-FW50 Camera Battery Charger Set with Battery Case Compatible with Sony A6000 A6500 A6300 A6400 A7 A7II A7RII A7SII A7S A7S2 A7R A7R2 A55 A5100 RX10 (2-Pack, Micro USB Port, 1100mAh) : Electronics

OR you can buy ONE genuine Sony battery for the same money. Your money, its up to you!

Fellow 6400 user here. I'm currently using this charger and have had no problems with it - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1537195-REG/watson_md_4237_mini_duo_charger_for.html

I have bought 3rd party batteries in the past and I will say they don't last nearly as long as OEM batteries, so I don't think the savings is worth it personally.

See this. I also use Wasabi and their charger along with the OEM for my A6000. You may not have Wasabi over there, but one of the equivalents would be the same. HEED the note about charging third-party batteries in-camera, not a good idea.

All Models - Battery conclusion based on my own experience, A7R-III and A7-IV

When the A7-IV was released there were discussions about the lack of a charger, whether to get a Sony or aftermarket for those who don't want to charge in-camera, Sony vs. aftermarket batteries, Sony cameras not recognizing aftermarket batteries, number of shots from each, etc. I took the cheap...

Cheers Tim,

Will have a read up on this

Looks good this Adam, wonder if I can get it here in the UK

I have the Neewer device and have used the batteries with my A6000 and now A6500. Works well, the Neewer batteries don't last as long but I've now got 3 batteries so it's not a problem

David cheers Mate, will take a look at it

If it uses the FW50 battery, which I think it does, Sony makes a “travel charger” for that battery. As you say, better than using your camera as a charger!

Oh. I went looking for a link to the charger - I vaguely remember it having the letter TRW in the model name. Sadly, it looks like Sony no longer sells it.

Sorry about that.

Tony thanks Mate for searching for it, appreciated. Pity it's no longer available
