The charger looks a little fragile, but is basically processed properly. It has a lamp that changes color depending on the battery charge level from red to green - including an intermediate tint in Orange. Charging time I would rate as rather long: the original battery by Sony needed more than three hours - no quick charger. The enclosed batteries are perhaps not quite as visually appealing (the adhesive film looks rather plain from), but the connectors look exactly like the original from. Price / performance are here absolutely unbeatable - who do not necessarily need original parts, buys acceptable quality.
