Charger recommendation

Yeah because he said external charger

And I read that as the battery being external to the camera. Duh.

I’ve used chargers from Wasabi Power for several different cameras over the years and haven’t had any issues. Seems to work as well as the original battery and charger. They come with multiple slot options and sometimes bundled with both charger and battery. I get them through Amazon.

LOL, I have two dying ones sitting on the dining room table that are only a few months old. They will not charge fully, about 50% of an OE battery in run time. And they get hot. When I bought them one of them was completely dead. I returned and the two I have now did charge initially but would run the camera under load only about 90% of the OE battery if that.

That is possible.
I find it unclear from his OP whether his goal is to charge the battery out of the camera or to charge the battery while it is still in the camera. I decided the latter, so talked about USB-C. If the former -- out of the camera -- then the UC-92 is the original OEM charger. But other chargers work fine. I prefer the 2- or 3-bay chargers so I can charge a full day's worth of batteries overnight. Agreed, the OEM battereis are the best; I find Wasabi are tolerable and much cheaper. https://www.newegg.com/kastar-li-90b-nomem-li-ion-charger/p/0RB-00HV-01BU6?item=9SIAAWYK693029&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic+shopping&utm_campaign=knc-googleadwords-_-digital camera batteries & chargers-_-kastar-_-9SIAAWYK693029&source=region&srsltid=AfmBOooWsvEl5BRsj62z5GuOngxk7Jo7_aNDnGMJoFFsqG_rNlDx0-bcpxs

Thanks everyone. I decided to bite the bullet and ordered the OM external charger. What’s another $70 right? LOL. Never mind that I also just got a new car.
