Three-battery pack with foldable AC charger

This Kastar kit supplies three NP-FM50 lithium-ion cells rated at 7.4 V and 17 Wh each, plus a compact wall charger with a foldable flat plug. It is aimed at owners of compatible Sony Handycam, Cyber-shot and Digital8 models who need reliable spare power for extended shoots or travel. The charger accepts 100–240 V AC input and delivers 8.4 V at 600 mA, with a red LED for charging and a green LED for standby or full charge.

Charges from any mains socket, frees up the camera

The wall charger plugs directly into a standard AC outlet, so the camera itself never needs to be tethered while batteries replenish. Its foldable pins reduce bulk in a kit bag, and the 8.4 V 600 mA output tops up each 2300 mAh cell independently of the camcorder. Users can rotate batteries through the charger while continuing to record with the camera, eliminating downtime on long events or trips.

Replaces ageing original NP-FM series cells

The pack substitutes for Sony NP-FM30, NP-FM50, NP-FM55H, NP-QM50, NP-QM51, NP-FM70, NP-FM71, NP-QM71, NP-QM71D, NP-FM90, NP-FM91, NP-QM91 and NP-QM91D batteries that no longer hold a useful charge. It also covers BC-VM50, BC-VM10 and BC-V615 charger replacements. The upgrade is worthwhile when original packs show reduced runtime or when a single spare is insufficient for a full day of recording.

Questions about this item

How long can I record continuously with one NP-FM50 battery before it runs out?

Each 7.4 V, 2300 mAh Li-Ion cell stores 17 Wh, so run-time depends on the camcorder's power draw.

Does the AC charger get hot or noisy if I leave it plugged in all day?

The wall charger runs silently with no fan; the foldable flat plug stays cool during normal 8.4 V, 600 mA charging cycles.

Which Sony models must I already own for this pack to be compatible?

The batteries and charger work with listed Sony NP-FM50, NP-FM55H, NP-QM50, NP-QM51, BC-VM50, BC-VM10, BC-V615 and the camcorders shown in the compatibility list.
