Kastar NP-F980 EXP 8700mAh battery

The Kastar NP-F980 EXP is a 7.4V lithium-ion camera battery rated at 8700mAh and 64.4Wh. It replaces Sony NP-F970 and NP-F980 series packs and fits a long list of Handycam models from the DCR and CCD ranges. The pack includes a micro-USB input for direct charging from a 5V 2A adapter. Four onboard LEDs show the remaining charge level at a glance.

Suits owners of compatible Sony camcorders

Videographers using supported Sony Handycam models or L-series LED panels such as the CN, VL, YN and GVM ranges can power their gear with this single pack. It also works as a 5V 2.1A power bank for phones or small accessories. Users whose camera requires a different voltage or connector, or who need a multi-bay charger, should look at other options.

Check your device accepts NP-F970/NP-F980 L-series

Verify that your camcorder or light is listed in the compatibility table before ordering. Ensure you have a 5V 2A USB wall adapter for the micro-USB charging port. Confirm the physical dimensions of 3 by 2 by 3 inches fit your battery compartment or mounting plate.
