Sony's BC-QZ1: bhpho.to/2SYoTQn
Watson Duo Charger: bhpho.to/2IAal5w
Watson Compact AC/DC Charger: bhpho.to/2Irxh6O

Duck-Head Adapter: amzn.to/2NhgUIJ

$80 Hahnel Cube2 said it charged to 100% but in the camera it says 95%. Advertises a charge time of 150 minutes (my test 125 min but it still showed 100% but the mAh still going up). When disconnected you can not place a battery in and check it's level.
$88 Sony's BC-QZ1 charger 150 minutes advertised (130 minutes from my tests). If you don't like the cable get a Apple DuckHead Charger
$69 Watson Duo Charger: great for home or office use, pretty big for travel. 169 minutes
$20 Watson Compact AC/DC Charger: 276 min
Charging the battery from the USB 3.1 cable will take 285 minutes
$10 Power2000 PT-100: It doesn't go instantly from red to green, it happens slowly over 5 minutes. 365 minutes
I didn't test the really stupid expensive ones.
Tested with the Sony NPFZ100 batteries sorry no 3rd party batteries tested
Tests done at 65 degrees F
