Designed for use with the InfoLithium L Series Battery, Sony's AC-VQ1050D AC/DC Adapter and Battery Charger gives you the power to do more. Capable of charging two batteries simultaneously, the superbly practical AC-VQ1050D includes an LCD panel that provides time remaining for a complete charge.
What's in the Box
AC power cord, DCC-VQ1 car battery cord, and two connecting cords (DK-215 and DK-415)
DOES IT ALL...and FAST
This is a MUST HAVE if you are using the Sony FX7 as I am....slots for two batteries and great digital info readout...and FAST! Also, if your cam doesn't have a direct AC plugin port...this gives you one via the "battery" slot. Nice package.
Great Charger
This charger will work with both infoLITHIUM and non chip based bateries.
When using non infoLITHIUM bateries it does not do a Quick charge or display charge information.
Also it is indicated that it is capable of charging two batteries at the same time. I have yet to see this happen. It charges one battery then moves to the next when the first is charged.
versatile unit
The fact you can charge two batteries is handy, although note: they charge consecutively, not simultaneously. Still nice to be able to leave overnight after a big shoot, and both batteries are charged. All the cables are included, especially the car charger is a nice addition (I just leave it in the car, so all I have to do is unplug the unit at home, throw it in my case and I can charge on the road). And if you are really in a bind, it comes with two cables for straight camera hookup, so with an outlet nearby you can record lengthy conferences and training sessions without batteries altogether. I have owned the unit for only a few weeks, but the I have found the speed of charge to be sufficient. I particularly enjoy the feature that shows the amount of time left to charge, as well as the time you will have should you choose to take the battery of the charger before it is finished charging. I can't think of anything else I would want a charger to do, so I'll have to give it 5 stars based on the few weeks using it.
