Looking for recommendations for third party batteries for the A7R with suitable charger.
Heard that the Sony official charger charges for longer and ultimately delivers more power.

Suggestions appreciated!

Cheers
Neil
 
I use Ex-Pro and Chilli Power batteries and they're just as good/bad as genuine NP-FW50s.
The charge duration doesn't mean much if you don't know the charge current. If the Sony charger is using half the current of the third-party one then it must charge for twice as long for the same effect. What does put me off third-party chargers is that they don't have the centre contact which I believe OEM chargers use to monitor the charge.
