Picked up this 2-pack of NP-F970 batteries for my camera and lighting setup, and they’re exactly what I needed! These things are a solid upgrade over the smaller batteries I was using, giving me a much longer shoot time without constantly swapping or charging. Plus, they're compatible with so many different pieces of gear, which makes them super versatile. Slapped them on my camera rig, and it just kept going—barely made a dent in the power after hours of filming.
The real bonus here is using them with my lights. They power up my LED panels like champs, which is great for long shoots without access to outlets. No more stopping mid-shoot to scramble for a recharge! These batteries feel solid and come with a huge charge capacity and a nice charger, so I don’t have to worry about running out of juice when I need it most.

This charger has been a game-changer for managing my NP-F batteries. It charges up to four batteries at once, which is super handy when I'm prepping for shoots. The wall plug gives it more power, so it charges faster than the basic USB chargers that came with my batteries. The charging indicator is a great feature, showing the charge levels, which helps me know if a battery is ready to go or needs more time.
One minor issue I noticed was that the first time I used it, one battery gave an error, but re-inserting it fixed the problem. The batteries lay flat in the charger, making it longer than some standing designs, but I prefer this because it's more compact and fits well in my gear bag. The only downside is the display stays lit when plugged in without batteries, which might be annoying if you plan to leave it connected all the time.
Overall, the build quality is decent and fits my needs, even if it feels a bit on the budget side. It's not the fastest charger, but having all four batteries ready by morning works perfectly for me. A solid choice for anyone using NP-F batteries regularly!

I have been gearing up my little in-home studio, and using multiple cameras means I have multiple monitors and lights going...so I needed some more power...but I wanted it to be mobile gear as adventure season approaches (winter where I live)...so settled mostly on NP-F batteries. I tried a couple off-brand ones to save money, but that didn't go well, so when I saw K&F had this 2 batteries w/charger kit for a good price, thought I'd give it a try...
- I used one in my largest screen field monitor, and one in a setup that utilizes an iPad as a cordless monitor. Both discharged at the same rate as my most expensive batteries, and worked particularly well with the iPad, even charging it all the way up while the screen and app were in use.
- charging time took longer than discharge on the iPad setup, but I am fairly certain that is due to the brick I used...a lower power one as I wanted to see how long it would take with a standard style, unknown spec (just in cases) charging brick.
- charger is lightweight, but has nice bright led indicators, though it does not display progress...only charging and fully charged...which is fine, but a progress meter would have been nice
- build quality is nice, pretty indistinguishable from the nice NP-F's I already had
Overall these seem to be great batteries at a very affordable price, and are an excellent addition to my budget friendly studio setup. Would happily get them again, and recommend.

I have a whole bunch of NP-F batteries (550's and 750's) and they take forever to charge on the regular USB chargers they came with.
This plugs into the wall (so it has higher power) and fast charges them.
Most importantly, it does 4 at a time AND has a charging indicator letting me know whether they're nearly empty or nearly full. I can look at the charger and know if a battery is good enough to use in a pinch.
The batteries lay flat in the charger (as opposed to standing), which makes the base a little longer than it needs to be, but I've seen other chargers that stand the batteries and are large enough to accommodate all sized batteries, which makes them much larger than necessary. This is small enough to fit with my gear and handy to have as I'm going through batteries on a shoot.

These batteries have been dependable for long shoots and extended use. Charging them is efficient, and they hold their charge well, providing enough power to get through a day’s work. The LED charger is a helpful feature, making it easy to monitor the charging process. No overheating issues, and they work perfectly with my equipment.

I have a number of NP-F style batteries and it's always a pain to get them all charged up with the limited number of charges I have. This charger solves that problem and makes it much more convenient to get them charged up in bulk instead of one at a time. The charger interface itself is pretty basic, but it's not much different than the single battery chargers I have.
This does not appear to be a fast charger, as it takes a while to charge up even my smaller NP-F batteries. But being able to fill it up with four batteries at night and have them all charged up by morning works for my needs. The build quality is pretty good and is what I expect from the K&F Concept brand that I've grown to like. I'm pretty happy with this charger.

I have two LED lights that work on NPF batteries and these were able to keep my light on for just about 3 hours at 100 percent intensity on my night doc shoot. The charger comes with a cable, but not a block, so there’s that to keep in mind, but I already a charging station set up and so that was not an issue for me. It’s also great to have a smaller charger for travel purposes.

the charger came with a cable to charge. what I like about this is that when you put the bigger batteries other types you would have to struggle to get them out. this one they thought about that and add a space to put you finger to disconnect the battery from the charger. the display shows them separately. it charges fast and portable. great deal to be able to charge 4 large Np batteries.

These batteries are solid and keep my gear powered up for hours, which is a big win when I’m filming or using my lights. The dual charging setup is a nice touch, and I like that it charges over USB, making it convenient to plug in almost anywhere.
Charging speed, though, could be faster—these take a while to fully recharge. The charger’s basic LED indicators are useful but not very detailed. If fast recharges aren’t critical, these are a great option that does the job reliably.
