Kastar NP-FM500H 2400mAh Li-Ion battery & AC charger

Replacement battery and charger for Sony Alpha

This pack supplies one lithium-ion battery rated at 2400mAh and 7.4V together with an AC wall charger that accepts 100 to 240V input and delivers 8.4V at 600mA. It fits the Sony NP-FM500H form factor and replaces the original BC-VM10 and AC-SQ950 chargers. The charger features a foldable flat plug for compact storage and an LED that shows red while charging and green when the cell is full or on standby. Photographers using compatible Sony Alpha models gain a spare power source and a mains charger in one purchase.

Simple drop-in installation

The battery slides into the camera's standard NP-FM500H compartment exactly like the original cell, and the charger plugs directly into a wall socket with no extra cables required. The foldable flat pins reduce the risk of bent prongs during travel. The only common issue is forgetting to seat the battery fully in the charger, which leaves the LED on red indefinitely; a firm click ensures proper contact and the light will turn green once the cell reaches full charge.

Verify your camera uses the NP-FM500H before

Check the model list on the camera body or in the manual to confirm it accepts the NP-FM500H battery; the compatible range covers numerous Alpha DSLR-A and SLT-A series bodies from the A200 through the A900 and the SLT-A57 to SLT-A77II lines. If your camera requires a different battery form factor or a higher capacity cell, this pack will not fit or meet the runtime need. The charger operates on 100 to 240V AC at 50 to 60Hz, so it works worldwide with only a plug adapter where the socket shape differs.
