The Kastar NP-F570 Battery is an excellent replacement or backup for your camera or camcorder. It holds a solid charge and lasts through extended shooting sessions, making it perfect for long days of filming or photography. The battery fits snugly into devices that use the NP-F570 model, and I’ve had no issues with compatibility. It also charges relatively quickly and performs just as well as the original, all at a more affordable price. If you're looking for a reliable and cost-effective power solution, this battery is a great choice!

Works well, charged quickly.

Works well and has a decent battery life when paired to a Atomos Shinobi II monitor. I was able to record a 3 hour real estate shoot with one charge.

For my use I purchased this battery for a Neewer CN-160 LED lighting system to use with my cameras ands really have no complaints what so ever. The battery arrived without any juice ( I tested it) and took 4.5 hours to charge which in my book isn't too shabby.Charged life seems to be about 4-5 hours of use before the drain is noticeable which isn't so great but then this isn't an extended battery. With the Neewer lighting you can power it with 5 double A which is a pain to have to keep replacing especially if your doing a long shoot or you can use one of two Sony Li-on batteries which make much more sense to me and save a good deal of time.Add the extremely low price for an OEM battery ( I'm still suffering sticker shock for the Panny extended battery for my AG-HMC40 which was $150 on Amazon and $250 from Panasonic directly)Although it drains faster than I expected, which of course may be the fault of the LED lighting and not the battery, but this is by no means a deal breaker. To find a battery at this low of a price is really a terrific deal - I already have another in my cart.Highly Recommended

Amazing! Prints super fast and easy to connect!

Our company deals with a lot of discontinued electronics, including old camcorders and cameras, and finding a replacement battery is not always simple. Kastar batteries have become our go-to company for these batteries. Besides the fact that they are affordable, they work as intended. We always like to be sure the battery we send with our pre-owned camcorders is viable, and Kastar batteries make that possible. Best of all, they are brand new and will hold the charge as intended, with no ambient loss of power as you may get with older / used batteries. These batteries help keep our costs low and have never let us down. We proudly endorse this brand and would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable replacement for their camera or camcorder.

I'll have to update later about longevity, but it seems to work fine. The only problem is that, compared to the OEM Sony NP-F330 it replaces (Pictured on the right), it is ever so slightly too thick. Less than a millimeter, but if your device goes all the way around the battery for a friction fit (as pictured) then you may need sandpaper to make it fit. The battery's case is thick enough for sanding not to be a problem but you shouldn't need to in the first place.I'm using it in a Sony MVC-FD73, which is a model that throws the "For InfoLITHIUM Battery Only" error on some cheap third party batteries. This battery works fine with no errors, though.

NP - F550Great for energy output vs size. I primarily use them for portable LCD Monitors and 300 LED film lights. They are an alternative to several electronics that I use that opt for this battery or 6 AA batteries.They have a decent charge time, usually around an hour for short use and 4 hours + to get a full days use from them.I purchased them a year ago and they still work and hold a good charge.Pros:- Many film and portable items have the capability to use this type of battery, most Sony camcorders or cinema cameras, portable LCD Monitors and LED panels- Inexpensive, and an overnight charge lasts very long depending on your product and output.Cons:- Purchased a few, one fell about 4 feet, and broke in two, superglued it, worked for about a week but has since died after. Plastic bodied, high density batteries, falls can take them out easily.- Battery power can be very tricky as there is no accurate way to meter or gauge a full charge. Due to universal application and third party companies making their devices accept this type of battery it may die faster on some items and last longer on others.OVERALL - They have lasted me for a year +. Very reliable for cost and being a third party item. Drop was a fault of mine, and I cannot take points away from inaccurate readings from non sony and off - brand adapters.Would recommend.
