Full details

This SmallRig NP-FZ100 Battery Charger is designed for photographers using Sony cameras with NP-FZ100 batteries. It offers the key benefit of simultaneously charging two batteries, reducing downtime.

FAQs

Can I charge my original Sony NP-FZ100 batteries with this charger?

Yes, this charger is designed to work with original Sony NP-FZ100 batteries, as well as compatible third-party NP-FZ100 batteries.

What kind of power source do I need for this charger?

You need a USB-C power source. This can be a USB-C wall adapter, a portable power bank with a USB-C output, or a USB-C port on a computer or other device.

Does the charger come with a USB-C cable or power adapter?

The charger typically includes the charger unit itself and sometimes a USB-C cable, but a separate USB-C power adapter is usually required and not included.

How do I know when the batteries are fully charged?

The five-step LED indicators will show the charging progress. When a battery is fully charged, the LEDs for that slot will indicate a full charge, typically by all lights being solid or a specific 'full' indicator.

Can I leave the batteries in the charger after they are fully charged?

The charger has intelligent protection to prevent overcharging, so it is generally safe to leave batteries in the charger. However, for long-term storage, it's recommended to remove the batteries.

What is the warranty period for this charger?

Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty details.

How does the temperature regulation protect my batteries?

The charger monitors the battery temperature during charging. If it detects excessive heat, it will reduce the charging current or stop charging to prevent damage to the battery cells.

Troubleshooting

Charger not powering on

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charger and a functional power source. Try a different USB-C cable and power source.

One or both batteries not charging

Verify the batteries are correctly inserted into their slots. Clean the battery terminals and the charger's contacts with a dry cloth. Confirm the batteries are compatible NP-FZ100 type.

LED indicators not working

Check the USB-C power connection. If the charger is unplugged, the LEDs will not be illuminated unless they retain a small charge for visibility (model dependent). Ensure the power source is active.

Slow charging speed

Charging speed is dependent on the power output of the USB-C source. Use a higher-wattage USB-C PD power adapter or power bank for optimal charging speed.
