High-capacity NP-F power

The Kastar NP-F980 EXP is a 8700mAh lithium-ion battery that replaces the Sony NP-F980 series for camcorders and LED panels. It delivers 7.4V and 64.4Wh from a single pack, so videographers who need longer run-times on location can swap fewer cells during a shoot. Built-in protection guards against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating.

Micro-USB charging and power-bank output

The cell accepts a 5V 2A micro-USB input, letting you top it up from a wall adapter or portable charger without a dedicated dock. A 5V 2.1A USB-A output turns the same battery into a power bank for phones or accessories. Four on-board LEDs show remaining capacity at a glance, so you can confirm charge state before rolling.

Sustained output for continuous recording

Under constant draw the protection circuit maintains stable voltage until the safety threshold, preventing sudden shutdown during long takes. The lithium-ion chemistry supports repeated deep cycles without the memory effect that shortens older packs. It is not suited for devices that require a higher voltage rail or a proprietary communication protocol.

Questions about this item

How long can the 8700mAh capacity sustain continuous power draw before the built-in over-discharge protection cuts in?

The 8700mAh lithium-ion cell delivers 64.4Wh at 7.4V and the internal circuit stops output once the safe discharge threshold is reached to protect cycle life.

Does the battery generate noticeable heat or fan noise when used as a 5V 2.1A power bank for a full day?

No fan is present; the pack relies on passive cooling and the over-heating protection circuit will interrupt output if internal temperature exceeds safe limits.

Which charger or adapter must I already own to recharge the NP-F980 EXP via its Micro USB port?

Any 5V 2A USB wall adapter or power source with a Micro USB cable will charge the battery directly through the built-in port.
