Battery Chargers UK

I recently bought an NEX-5R camera in Orlando which obviously comes with US adapter for charging unit.

Where can I get a UK version of same?

Online Sony Shop doesn't appear to ahve what I need - any suggestions would be appreciated particularly with part number, cost etc.

Hi caldercraig and welcome to the Sony Users' Community.

I presume you have the BC-VW1 AC adaptor/charger for NP-FW50 batteries?

If so, the charger is international and the only thing different is the plug. The charger works at all voltages from 100v to 240v and all you need is a replacement cable to a UK 13A Plug. (UK Plug to Figure-of-8)

Something like this will do: -

Or a simple plug adapter will do: -
