Kastar 2-Pack NP-BX1 Battery + LCD USB Charger

I had some old content that I wanted to recover and look at. These batteries allowed me to do that.

And a great value as well

Works Great!

A nice set of replacemet batteries for my Sony RX100 camera. Complete with the USB charging station that can house one battery at a time, the batteries are identical in size and configuration to the original NP-BX1 batteries and works just like them as well. Like the original batteries, these in actual use gave me about 400-500 shots easily with the LCD on medium setting and short to no photo review time. And with the review off and taking photos only using the viewfinder, these gave me easily over 500 shots per battery. And with the USB charging option, these become even more versatile as you can use your USB charger or evevn your laptop to charge these batteries, wherever you go.In summary, a complete USB recharging solution for that beloved camera of yours that includes two batteries. What value and performance!

I find that most aftermarket batteries do not perform as well as the original Sony batteries but these Kastar batteries are very impressive and you will not notice any difference even when taking videos. So let's get down to business. The Sony batteries weigh between 24.5 grams to 24.6 grams. These Kastar batteries weigh 21.2 grams. Sony batteries test at 1194 mAh to 1218 mAh and most generic batteries test at 854 mAh to 929 mAh but very surprisingly these Kastar batteries test at 1149 mAh and 1158 mAh which is really close to the original Sony batteries and even when taking videos I did not notice any difference at all between the two brands. Now for the bad news. The charger that I received unfortunately is defective straight out of the box. I tried several different USB chargers and even a different cord and still no go. I even tried cleaning the contacts with Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol but still no go the charger just keeps shutting off and restarting. So if you're looking for a charger as well as batteries you might want to keep that in mind.

I got these as spare batteries for my Sony Cybershot HX-99 point-and-shoot. I wondered if they would work, but the information provided on this product listed that my model would be compatible. It's wise to be apprehensive about generic batteries that claim to be compatible with various electronics, but I tested both batteries out earlier today (to make sure that they not only fit but actually worked), and both worked as intended. They also come with a charger (which Sony didn't include with my camera -- you have to charge the battery within the camera with a USB cable). This set is excellent as the charger is stand-alone, and if I had to charge one battery in the camera, I could use the charger to charge a spare battery. It is worth it for two batteries, a charger & cable being under $15. Carefully read the compatible cameras and see if yours matches, too!

Not one, but 2 lithium ion batteries for my Sony ultrazoom camera? Plus a charger dock? For half the price of a single "name brand" battery? Why yes, please!Delivered as expected, securely packaged to prevent damage to batteries. Slim USB charger easy to pack with other gear. Unclear yet how long 1240 milliamps will power my big camera.Departing on a long vacation shortly, and expect to use and recharge them several times. Will report back if there are any issues.

This is an excellent charger for Sony camera batteries. I have an RX100 III and VII, and this is a very compact and convenient charger for those cameras. Sure, you can charge the battery inside the camera, but the little USB port doors break over time (happened on my RX100 III) so I prefer to use a charger. Plus, this way you can charge a second battery while still using your camera. I was also surprised to see a couple of 3rd party batteries included. I'm only using official Sony batteries for now, but it's nice to have the extras, and they make this charger an even better deal.
