Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This compact charger for specific cameras in Sony's Cybershot line is compact, sturdy, and does a great job quickly charging Sony D, E, R, and T series lithium ion batteries. With its retractable (or "fold-out") rear plugs, it transports easily, there's no cord to store. (Some versions of this charger do have a cord instead of fold-out plugs).
But due to its popularity, a flood of counterfeit versions are appearing online (especially on ebay). Unfortunately some of these are now finding their way onto Amazon as well. They are poorly built, cheap imitations that pose a risk of battery damage and even fire. So how do you tell the difference? How do you make sure you're not getting a fake?
Here's how: On the bottom edge of the back of every genuine Sony BC-CS3 charger, you will find a series of etched identification numbers, usually 8-digits, inside a small rectangular box. (See the closeup photo I've added above, the numbers are clearly visible). Knockoff or fake chargers will not have these numbers, as they are difficult to duplicate. If you are buying a charger from somebody online, ask them to check for these numbers, or to email you a photo.
So, just look for the etched ID numbers, then you'll know you've got a genuine Sony product.
