Is there a separate battery charger? How would one charge the battery?

No. You charge the camera through the USB cable, the same one used to upload videos and pictures to your computer. I just connect up to do the upload and leave it connected to charge...easy!

I wondered the same thing but when I got the camera, there is a single battery charger included in the standard camera box

It doesn't come with a separate charger. (I don't know if one is available.) The batteries are charged using the camera itself and the A/C power adapter that comes with it.

There is a docking port with a USB connection. When you put it in the port you charge the battery.

I have not used the battery charger, but looking at it I can see two prongs on the bottom, so that should be a battery charger. I don't have a second battery to try this, but when I get my hands on another battery in a few weeks I will post an update.

The battery is in the unit. You just plug the separate cord into the unit and plug into a receptacle and it charges!

Yes, that would be how you do it, unless you would prefer to use an independent battery charging unit.

Yes,there is no external battery charger. I bought a combo of external battery charger + 2 extra batteries on Amazon, makes life easier. Cost is about 16-17 $ .

It comes with a cord that has the black/red crocodile clips at the end. So should be able to clamp that on your battery without any extra cables. No separate charger. It outputs a little over 12V, so it'll charge the battery just like that.

Brian, it comes separate but is cheap and you might pick up an extra battery pack as well depending on your plans for using.

Yes and no. There is no "battery charger included, however there is a cord included which plugs into camera to charge battery within the camera. I found and purchased a separate battery charger online and prefer using that to charge battery.

I think it comes sufficiently charged. I do not recall having to do anything special. I have regular battery charger only, which should work for the battery.

No need for separate battery. Charges directly from electrical wall outlet. Charge lasts for quite a while. but I can't provide precise hours or minutes since I did not measure it, but I am very pleased with this product -- if and when it is purchased new.

No, the battery charger is separate. You take the battery out of the camera to charge it, at least for my model. I believe all Sony cameras work that way.

The battery needs to be removed and placed in a separate charger. I find it handy to have an extra battery which can be found on amazon.com quite inexpensively. It's also convenient when one battery runs down to have another ready and waiting, but I am snap happy.

There is a cord that that connects the unit to the cigarette lighter in your car. There is a built in battery which is charged thru that cord. no need for a separate charger.

No, you must have a lithium ion charger. I purchased a separate 2 battery charger.
