Kastar NP-FM500H Battery Pack

The Kastar NP-FM500H is a 7.4 V 2400 mAh lithium-ion replacement battery supplied with a BC-VM10 charger. It delivers 17.76 Wh capacity and measures 2.2 by 1.5 by .8 inches. The pack includes over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating protection circuits. It is built to meet UL1642 and CE safety standards.

Sony Alpha DSLR and SLT Owners

Photographers using Sony Alpha DSLR models such as the A200, A300, A350, A450, A500, A550, A560, A580, A700, A850 or A900 can use this battery. SLT users with A57, A58, A65, A68, A77 or A77 II bodies are also covered. It will not suit owners of Sony mirrorless E-mount cameras or any non-Sony system.

7.4 V 2400 mAh Li-Ion Cell

The single decisive specification is the 7.4 V 2400 mAh lithium-ion chemistry. Your camera must accept the original NP-FM500 or NP-FM500H pack and the BC-VM10 or AC-SQ950 charger. If your body requires a different voltage, capacity or form factor, this unit will not work.

Questions about this item

How do I insert the NP-FM500H into my Sony Alpha A700 without forcing the contacts?

Align the three gold contacts on the battery with the matching pins inside the A700 grip, slide it in until the latch clicks, and never push past the first resistance — the notch on the left side must sit flush or the door will not close.

When should I replace the Kastar NP-FM500H based on its 2400mAh rating?

Plan a replacement once the pack delivers roughly 60 % of its original 17.76 Wh capacity — typically after 300 to 500 full charge cycles — because the internal protection circuit will then cut off earlier during high-drain bursts.

What is the first limit I hit when shooting continuous bursts with this 7.4V Li-ion pack?

The built-in over-current protection trips first during sustained high-frame-rate shooting, cutting power to prevent cell overheating before the 2400mAh capacity is fully depleted.
