Fun Facts on the Type 5 Battery Charger

No I'm serious, they really are some interesting facts so quit the eye rolling.

The advanced camera's battery charging station has two ports for two batteries. However, you can only charge one battery on each unit at a time. Luckily for our sanity, we have four of these charger's set up on the battery wall/cabinet/buffet/station thingy.

Behold! Where dead batteries get their fix.

And the type 5 battery chargers aarrrreee:

Here!

The technical name for the advanced camera/type 5 charger is the "Sony AC-VQV10 AC Adaptor/Charger." Try saying that five times fast....and if you did, go clean something at the desk; you're too bored.

There's a switch next to the charging port that says "VCR/Camera" on one side and "Charge" on the other. The switch should always be on the "charge" side but take the time when you're plugging in the battery to make sure the orangish light comes on.And another nifty little tid-bit is that if you click the "Display" button, you are given the option of seeing the remaining battery life on the built-in LCD.

Congratulations! You just learned so much about the advanced camera battery charger! Tell all your friends.

And in all seriousness, good luck on finals!
