Sony DSC-T9 Lithium Ion Battery Charger? My Sony DSC-T9 Lithium Ion Battery charger blinks a yellow/organe light every time I plug it in. It was fine just a few months ago, and I've had the charger and battery for roughly 2 years.
Usually, the light stays yellow then turns green when it is complete charging.
Now the light stays on for a couple of seconds and starts to blink again.
I went through my manual and it says nothing about the light blinking.
Could this mean it's time to replace my charger or battery?

The charger and batteries that came with my Nikon D100 over six years ago, still work just fine."
the A man replied: "you have had the battery for over 2 years. it is the battery that needs replacing. Li ions are good but over a period of time they kill themselves and that what i think happened to yours"
Do you necesserily need to buy a lithium battery charger from the camera's maker? I lost my camera's lithium battery charger (Type G). It's a Sony Cybershot DSC-W30. I recently went to the Sony store to see if they sell the chargers alone. Apparently they do, but for a 100$.
Now, counting Ebay out, is there any other way i can buy a charger for this camera & battery type somewhere else for cheaper.
If i have to buy the charger from Sony, I might as well buy a new camera, since this one is not in perfect condition. But I really don't want to considering im saving up for a DSLR anyways.

err try to go to best buy or target sometimes those places carry them and ask the workers"
Richard B replied: "It is always better to buy such an accessory from the manufacturer of the device with which it will be used. There is never a guarantee that another manufacturer's accessory will be compatible with your device. Don't buy this stuff on eBay because eBay cannot guarantee anything about things bought/sold through their website."
le_cesar replied: "sell your camera in ebay and then just add the money to the DSLR account you have made."
Martin P replied: "best to get it from Sony; there have been big problems with lithium ion batteries; mainly fires!"
cyberfly00 replied: "sony has nice stuff but way overpriced"
fhotoace replied: "Yes.
The OEM chargers have special features not found on third-party chargers. The will not overcharge the battery which could cause a fire or in the worst case explode. The also condition the battery and usually do a 80% quick charge and then a slow charge until fully charged.
Also if your battery fails using a third-party charger, it may not be covered by the camearas warranty.
Consider the cost of the charger as insurance."
vienna2001 replied: "Is this the charger?
43 bucks.
HTH."
epic_laydown replied: "that's quite the dilemma you got there. Even paying 43 bucks for a charger is a bit expensive for a camera you'll probably not use after you get your DSLR. Consider a camera that is under 100 dollars which will get you by for the next few months or whatever until you get the new camera. You really need to compare the Sony W30 with a inexpensive camera.
Another thing is to borrow someone else's charger, that is if you know someone with the same camera. Or see how much you can get on it on Craigslist."
gadgetZ replied: "no, i got mine from ionhub that works just fine and very compact."

do all SONY batteries work with all sony chargers? I just need to know because i lost my real charger for my lithium battery and now only have a different kind of charger but for the same brand. So do you know?
Tme replied: "Unless you want to blow up!
NiCd NiMH and all those other types...
If you mix them, you blow up!
Get the proper charger for the proper battery!
NiCd battery with a NiCd charger!
NiMH battery with a NiMH charger!
DO NOT PUT NiMH with NiCd vice versa!
It is usually written on the battery and charger!"
My SONY video camcorder will not take a charge how do I determine the problem? Lithium battery replaced.? I don't know if the problem is the battery or charger. The camera has been sitting idle for over a year.
Is there a CAR charger for this kind of battery? Sony Lithium Ion G-Type battery. If there is a car charger, where can I buy one?
Light Knight replied: "Yes you can get an after market charger. You might as well get one that can work on 12VDC in a car as well as 110VAC in the house. I picked up a universal charger at Radio Shack."
How do you charge a Sony Cybershot Li-ion without a charger? I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 with the NP-BG1 lithium ion battery. I lost my camera charger and the sony stores don't sell a charger for my specific camera's battery anymore. I was thinking of that thing where you charge an ipod with an onion, and it occurred to me that some genius out there might know a similar solution for camera chargers...anyone???

lyssalollirot replied: "uhh. you can probably buy it at the sony store, maybe best buy.
i dont know what the charger is called, but i know it connects right to the wall.. yeah idk i have that camera. haha"
Sophia A replied: "I am really not sure but Best Buy or Future Shop will have it for SURE!!! Just bring your camera to them and ask them what type you need and they'll give it to you. Future Shop is in Trinity Mall and Best Buy is in Bramale City Center if you need some of there locations. :D"
Amy T replied: "Hi! Well, you need to know your model # of your camera. I found a couple of websites that you can look your # up and see if they might have one for ya. Good luck!
