Dual-bay charger for Sony NP-FM500H

The Kastar LTD2 accepts two Sony NP-FM500H or NP-FM500HN packs and charges them simultaneously from a single USB source. It replaces the original BC-VM10 and AC-SQ950 adapters for a wide range of Alpha DSLR and SLT bodies from the 200 through 900 series. Photographers who carry multiple batteries can top both up without juggling separate wall chargers.

Sustained 800 mA output per bay

Each slot delivers a steady 8.4 V at 800 mA whether one or two cells are inserted, so the second battery does not slow the first. The 5 V 2-3 A input draws up to 15 W from any standard USB power brick, power bank or laptop port. An LCD panel shows real-time capacity for each bay, letting you confirm both packs reach full charge before a long shoot.

Interchangeable plate and dual USB inputs

A swappable plate system means the same chassis can support other battery types when you change camera systems. Both Micro-USB and USB-C sockets are fitted, and a Micro-USB cable is included, so you can plug into whatever cable is already in your bag. The compact 5 by 3 by 1 inch footprint slips into a camera compartment without adding bulk.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the Kastar LTD2 produce when charging two NP-FM500H batteries continuously?

The charger runs silently with no fan; it draws 15 W from a 5 V 2–3 A USB source and delivers 8.4 V at 800 mA per slot, so warmth stays low even during all-day use.

Which USB power source must I already own to run the Kastar LTD2 at full 15 W?

You need any 5 V 2–3 A adapter with a Micro-USB or USB-C port — the unit includes a Micro-USB cable and accepts either input.

Will the Kastar LTD2 charge the original NP-FM500H packs used in my Sony A700 and A900 bodies?

Yes, it is listed as a direct replacement for the BC-VM10 and AC-SQ950 chargers and supports every NP-FM500H / NP-FM500HN battery used in those cameras.
