Hello,

I've recently bought Sony's HDR-SR12 camcorder from ebay. The package included a free Sony FH100 long life battery worth AUD199.99 which made the offer quite interesting....

The cam is great, but the battery is not as stated. In fact it is the Power2000 ACD-739 replacement battery for the FH100 found in this link which is usually priced at USD30/40: http://www.vidprousa.com/product.asp.35.html

Unfortunately I found out that it could not be charged by attaching it to the camcorder, so I have to buy a separate charger. Can you suggest me some chargers for this battery? Also, I found no reviews for this battery (only reviews for the FH100). Can someone who has used it give me some feedback please?

Thanks for your help.

Is that why your battery would not charge?

Hello, thanks for reply poncho.

Actually I had read the posts in that sticky. Now I have found a site that says that you cannot charge the ACD-739 through the camcorder, but only through a separate charger. The battery instructions says that it can be charged with any Sony FP & FH series charger. Can you suggest some good Sony FP/FH chargers?

Thanks.

Sorry, but I can't suggest any good Sony FP/FH chargers.
