battery charger

Why can't Sony make a recharger with 2 leds to tell you that the battery is recharged  now you can't tell with 1 because the light doesn't change wether the battery is full or nothing  and that after 2 hours waiting

Usually, the light goes out when the battery is fully charged.

This may take longer than 2 hours. My NEX-5 battery takes up to 250 minutes from fully discharged - over 4 hours!

What Sony device are you trying to charge?

In that case the battery must be faulty or the charger not working properly.  If you look at your manual you will see that the light should go out when the battery is charged: -

Hello blencogo

                     thanks for the reply i found out what was wrong with it. The clip to hold the battery in place was

                      stuck with a tiny bit of paper i got it out and it is working fine now aldo i must say that i fined it strange that you have to wait 1hour after the light is out for a fully charged battery from there the second led like with the sony dsc - v3 the light comes on begin charging and changes to green light fully charged very easy i think to use jou don't need a watch or keep a eye on it
