Kastar NP-FH50 Li-Ion Battery & AC Wall Charger 1-Pack

What the kit contains

This pack delivers a single Kastar NP-FH50 lithium-ion battery rated at 1200 mAh and 8.88 Wh together with a compact AC wall charger. The charger accepts 100 to 240 V input and supplies 8.4 V at 600 mA, making it suitable for worldwide travel. A foldable flat plug keeps the unit slim when stored. Videographers and photographers using compatible Sony Handycam, Cyber-shot or Alpha models gain a spare power source without carrying a bulky dock.

Charging behaviour

The charger uses a constant-current, constant-voltage profile that tapers as the cell approaches full capacity. A red LED illuminates while current flows and switches to green once the battery reaches standby or full charge. Because the output is limited to 600 mA, a depleted 1200 mAh pack typically requires a couple of hours rather than a rapid top-up, so plan charging sessions accordingly. Heat remains low during the cycle, and the foldable plug does not block adjacent outlets on a power strip.

Compatibility check

Verify that your camera or camcorder accepts NP-FH series batteries before ordering; the list covers dozens of Sony models including HX100, HX200, A230, A290, A330, A380, A390 and numerous Handycam DCR and DVD units. The charger only works with 7.4 V lithium-ion packs of this form factor, so it cannot charge older Ni-MH cells or higher-voltage blocks. Ensure the device’s battery door closes fully with the slightly thicker aftermarket casing.
