What the battery replaces
This Kastar NP-F980 EXP is a lithium-ion camera battery rated at 8700mAh and 64.4Wh. It fits the long list of Sony Handycam models and L-series battery slots shown in the compatibility data. Videographers who need a direct replacement for NP-F970, NP-F980 or NP-F990 cells can use this single pack.
Charging and power-bank limits
The cell charges through a micro-USB port using a 5V 2A adapter and can deliver 5V 2.1A to other devices, so it works as a power bank. Four on-board LEDs show remaining charge. The micro-USB input caps recharge speed, and the 2.1A output may not sustain high-draw accessories.
Deciding specification
Capacity is the single figure that determines suitability: 8700mAh at 7.4V gives 64.4Wh of energy. Buyers who need more runtime per battery must look at higher-capacity packs, while those who only need a lightweight spare for short shoots may find this unit larger than necessary.

Questions about this item
Which NP-F980 EXP version should I pick if I need both USB charging and power-bank output?
This single pack includes the NP-F980 EXP model that charges via Micro USB at 5 V 2 A and delivers 5 V 2.1 A from its USB port for power-bank use, so one unit covers both roles.
What does the 8700 mAh rating mean for actual camera run-time?
At the nominal 7.4 V the cell stores 64.4 Wh, giving roughly 8.7 Ah of charge to power compatible Sony camcorders and LED lights for extended sessions.
How does the Micro USB interface limit charging and output speed?
The port accepts up to 5 V 2 A for recharging the battery and supplies up to 5 V 2.1 A when used as a power bank, capping both directions at those rates.
