Battery charger for a6000

grandkids6 — Mon, 18 May 2015 16:04:12 GMT

The sony shop doesn't have the charger for my newly acquired a6000.

Where can I get the BCTRW

Also, is it via a 3 pin plug (UK) or a USB cable on a computer.

I hate computers for reading info. Call me old fashioned, but where can I get a readable users guide for the a6000?

Sony appear to have one on their web store site http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras-batteries-chargers/bc-trw

It also appears that Amazon are selling a similar charger http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras-batteries-chargers/bc-trw

Sorry missed your second question. Is this the type of old fashioned guide you are searching for?

I suppose I could print it off, but there is nothing to beat reading a book, in this case the manual. Also, there are parts of Scotland where you get absolutely no signals making access to the internet impossible.

I can understand but unfortunately most manufacturers, Sony included, have moved away from including printed manuals in the box, wether this is to appear 'green' or to save money it is just a sign of the times.
At least there is a printable version available for you a6000 because lately there seems to be a move to more web based manuals now.

I have just acquired a mighty tome, so to speak, by Friedman and Warner..The Complete Guide to Sony's Alpha 6000 Digital Camera. A rather in depth book covering all the need to know information. I would certainly recommend it to new a6000 users. It is not cheap. £28, but worth it.

I have just purchased a cheap third party charger and two batteries, They seem to work ok but time will tell. It's probably worth a scan on the interweb as it all cost less than one sony battery and may be worth a gamble for not much money.

I printed the Sony PDF, big mistake and nearly ran out of paper but try Oldtimercamers.com. They offer a print for £13.95 for a bound copy. Havent bought one myself as I have about 200 loose pages and am too mean.

Picked up a charger and battery through Amazom. Neither Sony, but they work very well. Thanks for the info.

Do a search for a EXPro Battery charger. Far cheaper and comes with UK and European wall adapters.

They also do replacement batteries that work with the A6000 camera. I have been using them for a while and they are ok.
