gotta wonder why Sony made the battery charger for the a9 require a cord to plugin...Mindshift will love it, I will need another little bag to store the charger in!

Do they not all require a cord?

PS congrats on the A9!

Many of the chargers now plug directly into the wall outlet.

Here's my generic charger...

Ahh. My a7rii charger has a cord, so did my a6500 and so does my fuji x100f. I wonder if there's differences between Europe and US

that's my old charger, I didnt use it too often since I would just plug the camera directly to USB. However, I'm loving this newer charger much more. Since it always has two batteries in it, can I shoot dual cameras and when I go home, I have two fresh batteries and ready to go again. It's also usb powered, with no plugin option, so it's ultra small.

I'm in the US and my A6500 came with a cord only. I bought some Wasabi spare batteries that came with a wall charger.

That looks like a good setup...unfortunately, I've run out of usb ports though so I would have to plug it into an adapter for a wall outlet.

All three chargers I have for the A7R2 batteries plug into the wall, and I like them a lot...this is the first one I have had that needed the cord. Not a big deal, since the batteries reportedly last a long time, I only bought one spare for a total of 2. for now. I am going to shoot a track day in September and see if I can get through a day on those 2...practice for Petit LeMans in October.


And have yall had good luck with aftermarket batteries? I had a bad experience with one in my Canon days...it swelled up and was nearly stuck...have never used them since...I have two for the A7R2 that are the last two of 8 in the line...have never put them in the camera, never needed to...just curious.

I had the oddest of issues and not sure if related to aftermarket or not. After firmware 4, I would get a message about battery compatibility everytime I start my A7rii.... but I use aftermarket + oem batteries. With my OEM batteries, I would get the message! Not sure if the camera would get confused or not since I would use aftermarket and oem interchangeably. Even more odd is that the camera eventually stopped showing those messages, as if it were smart enough to figure these things out.

I've used 3rd party all through my canon days and then into my sony days. Currently have 2 3rd party in use on my a7rii and 2 in use on my x100f

I haven't had any issues with the ones I bought for the 6500. My wife and I are off to Europe on Friday for a two week vacation and I don't want to miss a thing so I will be carrying two extra batteries each day.
