Replacement battery for Sony Handycam

The Kastar NP-FH50 is a lithium-ion camera battery rated at 7.4V and 1200mAh, delivering 8.88 Wh of energy. It replaces the original Sony NP-FH50 and fits a wide range of Handycam models from the DCR-HC and DCR-DVD series. The single-pack unit is new and includes built-in protection against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating.

Voltage and chemistry constraints

As a 7.4V lithium-ion cell, the pack must only be charged with a charger designed for that nominal voltage. Using a charger for a different chemistry or voltage can trigger the protection circuit or damage the cells. The battery operates within the electrical limits set by the camera’s own power management, so no external regulation is required beyond the correct charger.

Capacity and runtime headroom

The 1200mAh capacity suits typical shooting sessions on compatible Handycam camcorders and Cyber-shot cameras. Extended recording or heavy LCD use will deplete the pack faster, so users planning long events may want additional charged units. The protection circuit stops output before deep discharge, preserving cell health for the next cycle.

Questions about this item

Is the NP-FH50 the right capacity for my Sony DCR-HC35 or should I choose a different NP-FH model?

The NP-FH50 is a 7.4V 1200mAh lithium-ion pack rated at 8.88 Wh. It replaces the NP-FH30, NP-FH40, NP-FH50, NP-FH70 and NP-FH100, so it fits the DCR-HC35 and the other listed Handycam models.

What does the 1200mAh rating mean for actual recording time on a Handycam?

At 1200mAh and 7.4V the cell stores 8.88 Wh, giving roughly one hour of continuous recording on a typical DCR-HC series camcorder depending on LCD use and zoom activity.

Does the battery use a proprietary connector or a standard Sony InfoLITHIUM interface?

It uses the standard Sony InfoLITHIUM NP-FH form factor, so it slots directly into the DCR-HC35, DCR-HC36, DCR-HC37 and the other compatible models without an adapter.
