BP500 Battery External Charger???

I believe this topic has come up in the past, but there was no definitive answer...

I have 4 Sony BP500 batteries for my NZ90. Currently the only means I have to charge them is one by one IN THE NZ, on the cradle. It would be great if there was a way, even if I had to make up something with alligator clips, if I could carge the BP's outside of the the NZ.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this, OR, what the input values to the battery might be?

For instance: I have a solar battery maintanance panel that came with my 2003 VW Jetta. The output from the panel is:

Max Power: 3.2 W
Voltage @ Max Power: 18.8 V
Current @ Max Power: 170 mA

Any pointers would be appreciated!

Tony

actually you should be able to use any automatic charger (those which automatically recoignize the batteries you plug in). Just go to your favorite electronics dealer and ask for a charger, telling them the specs of the BP500.

However, I'm also interested in a special charger for the BP500, just like the one of my good ol' Ixus vČ...

i dont think there is one, and a new one wont be made since there will be no more nz, because of clie's manufacturing issue in the NA's

Yes, I agree, but mainly I was interested to know if anyone knew of any third-party solutions or what the inputs voltage should be to the batteries so that I could charge them seperately from the NZ itself.

I guess I can just take my oldest battery and run some experiments...
