FAQs
Can I charge original Sony batteries with this charger?
Yes, the SmallRig 3818 charger is designed to be compatible with standard NP-FW50 batteries.
Does this charger support fast charging?
The charger accepts a 2.1A input, which is sufficient for efficient charging, though total time depends on the capacity of your power source.
Is the USB cable detachable?
The USB-A cable is integrated into the charger unit, but you can also use the separate USB-C input port if preferred.
Will these batteries cause an error message on my Sony camera?
No, the batteries include a full decoding chip that allows them to communicate with the camera just like original equipment.
What happens if I use a power source lower than 2.1A?
The charger will still function, but the charging speed will be significantly slower, and the LCD might show lower current readings.
Are the batteries safe for air travel?
As lithium-ion batteries, they should be carried in your carry-on luggage according to standard aviation safety regulations.
Troubleshooting
Charger screen does not turn on
Ensure the USB cable is firmly connected and that the power source (adapter or power bank) is providing at least 5V output.
Camera does not recognize the battery
Remove the battery and wipe the metal contact points with a dry, clean cloth to remove any dust or oils, then reinsert firmly.
Batteries are charging very slowly
Check your power source. Using a low-output USB port (like those on some laptops) will result in slower charging than using a dedicated 2.1A wall adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, simply connect the integrated USB-A cable or use a USB-C cable to connect the charger to a 5V/2.1A power source. The LCD will illuminate upon receiving power. Once the batteries are inserted, the screen will display current charging levels.
Compatibility includes a wide array of Sony Alpha series cameras, such as the A7, A7 II, A6000, A6300, A6400, A6500, and the ZV-E10, as well as the NEX and Cyber-shot RX10 series. To maintain battery health, avoid exposing the cells to extreme temperatures outside the 0°C to 40°C range. Always store batteries in a dry, cool environment when not in use for extended periods.
