What type of charging system does the battery charge by? Does it plug into wall or into a PC for charging battery?

Unfortunately, this has very different charging than my previous non-hd Sony camcorder. For this one the battery has to be hooked onto the camera in order to be charged. So you cannot keep a spare and use other one. Annoying, I know. but so far for my recordings have been at home not on any vacation, and battery has not been a problem.

I bought a Sony BCTRV Travel Charger and an extra Sony battery. I just find it easier for me to just have an extra battery or two. The charger is pretty quick: 4 hours to charge. Sony is definitely the best.

It comes with an AC adapter to plug camera directly into wall. You can also get a Wasabi battery and wall charger for around $25 which will give you an extra charged battery when your on the go.

I can charge it on the computer or I can take out the battery and charge it in the battery charger plugged into the wall socket. If you get an extra battery you can have a spare ready to go if you need it.

My case came with a USB cable that plugs into your computer to charge...not an actual wall charge. I thought it was kind of weird, but it's better than having to change batteries.

It has a USB connecter that I connect to a plug for the wall. You could also use a computer to plug it into and charge it.

It is powered by an internal battery. It is charged by a charger that comes with it. The charger plugs into a wall outlet, it is not a usb charger.

The unit is charged via micro USB from an external source. (PC, AC Wall charger, etc...) I hope this helps to answer your question.

No, it has a cell telephone type battery. you can plug the usb cord [supplied] into a usb charger in your wall or your computer. But remember it is recommended that you do not have the unit on while it is charging.

The battery charger comes with a charging cord that plugs into a USB outlet. You will need an adapter to plug into a wall outlet but you can charge it with your computer. I have plugged it into the car USB port and it charges fast and well. It is a great battery. I am currently traveling in Italy and have used it everyday.

Mine came with a wall plug that hooked directly to the battery. You have to remove the battery for it to charge but it's not that bad.

I'd like to clarify that the USB port is for charging another device, not for charging the battery. In other words, it has a USB port like you would find on your computer for plugging something else in to charge. You can not power this charger via USB, only by plugging it into a wall outlet.

I use the wall charger from my phone. It can also be charged through the USB on a computer.

It comes with a USB cable. You charge it by plugging into anything that accepts USB, like a PC, or your phone charger. The part that plugs into the wall is not included.

It plugs into a USB plug on your computer. It does not plug into a wall socket.

You have two options. Option one plug it into your laptop (it will take longer than option two). Option two, you plug it into a wall outlet with a USB to outlet converter. I use the second as it charges up quickly.

No. Battery is recharged by a USB cord that plugs into a wall plug or can be charged through your computer. Seems to charge up much faster by wall outlet. Uses the same USB cord for charging that is used to upload photos to computer. Hope this helps.

The battery charges in the camera through a USB-to-wall outlet connector. You can buy a charger specifically for the battery if you want though.
