Is it necessary to buy a battery charger of the same company ? or can i buy any with the right specifications?


My lithium ion battery charger BC 400 for a Konica Minolta digital camera recently died. Getting the charger of the same make here in India seems pretty difficult. Can I buy another charger available in the market with the same specifications as that of my Minolta charger?

Hey non digital,

Any brand of charger with the correct specs will work for you. As long as you get the same specifications you will be fine. I currently am charging four brands of cellphone batteries with a Motorola charger.

Yes, there are third party chargers available for just about every battery out there.

In your case, you need to make sure the third party charger
1) will allow your battery to fit
2) will have the correct polarity
3) will output the correct voltage and amperage

If it does all these, you'll be fine.

I've put a link below to a Konica charger currently on eBay. You might be able to get it cheaper than a third party one in India...
