About this deal

You apparently missed my point yesterday as well as again today when I made the same point again, so I will repeat it below, and then further explain / clarify it:

Lenses – Should have no marks on the elements andoptically clear. There may be light dust present that will not effect theimagery. Can't see how you can ruin a camera with an external battery charger unless the charger burns the house down. And this can happen with a Sony battery. But a charger cannot gain a UL certification without a heat activated fuse. I once bought a Sony made battery from Sony's flagship store in Ginza. It got hot when charged and only worked for a few cycles before it would no longer accept any charge. I have used Wasabi batteries for my GoPro H3 which come with a charger. Worked better than GoPro's batteries. They also stand behind their product. I'm sure their Sony NP-BX1 battery set works great too and at a great price.The Physics of the batterychemistrywill not let it hold a charge that the camera's voltage regulator cannot handle. I also doubt the camera can discharge the battery with enough amperage to cause the battery to damage the camera. The only heat risk will come from charging in the camera. Cameras – LCD screen is heavily worn either by de-lamination or has scratches to it. Rubber grips are starting to come away from the body. Maybe the simplest and best way torestate this is simply to say that the battery is just one element of a system designed to work together safely and reliably, and cheap generic batteries eliminate the crucial temperature sensor to save a few cents in manufacturer thus disabling this safety feature.

Lenses – The lens has dust inside that may affect images. The rubber zoom/focus ring is coming away from the barrel of the lens. Our used products are subject to wear and tear in comparison to brand new products. This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy. I worked in an authorized Sony repair shop (not cameras) for years. Every decent quality battery powered device I ever saw included a voltage regulator that conditioned the power from the battery and was robust to regulate power fromabsurdlyhigh levels. I have used aftermarket batteries for many years and never had an oversupply problem. Some of them ran down way too fast, but that was the only downside I have ever seen" The protective design protects primarily against overheat when charging, NOT during in-camera use / discharge, although it could be also used in this manner as well."
