It looks like Sony does not make a charger that will charge more than one NP-FZ100 at a time. I will be going on a photo expedition with 3 cameras and 6 batteries, and will have only about 90 minutes between outings, each of which will last about 3 hours. I expect to be shooting for most of the three hours. I'd rather not bring 3 separate Sony battery chargers. There are many third party alternatives, ranging in price from super cheap to crazy expensive (Dolgin Engineering). Any advice based on actual user experience?
Thanks,

Thanks, Dave! I actually have a cheapo double charger via USB micro. It has worked for a few years for me but it is not the fastest. The one you recommend since it is via USB-C seems to be faster. It is priced less on Amazon than on their own website 😜... Nevermind, that's a slightly different charger from the same company...
Thanks. According to SONY, the MQZ1K will take 2 hours and 40 minutes to charge one battery, and 10.6 hours to charge 4 batteries. That does not help me. I will look at the alternatives...
I like this one too. Although I've been using the NP2 Air for the past year or so. Doesn't get as good reviews, but I've not really had an issue with mine. I like having the app on my phone.
I have an NP2 that I bought a couple of years ago but never used. Just plugged it in and it seems to be working fine, charging two batteries at the same time. Thanks for the suggestion!
I believe there are firmware updates for that model, might be worth checking.

I have this one, I wanted something that can also be used as a carrying case. It takes two batteries and can also be used as memory card reader and storage.
My ProCube died after 3 years of use. I bought 4 of these Watson ones to keep up with my heavy workload. The $400 Sony 4 spot charger only charges sequentially so it'll take you 8 hours to charge 4 batteries.
