Kastar NP-FM500H Battery and Charger Kit

This set supplies a 7.4V 2400mAh lithium-ion battery and a matching AC wall charger with a foldable flat plug. It is built for photographers who need a reliable spare or replacement for the original Sony NP-FM500H pack. The charger accepts 100 to 240V mains input and delivers 8.4V at 600mA.

Replaces Sony NP-FM500H and BC-VM10

The battery directly substitutes the Sony NP-FM500H used in Alpha A200, A300, A350, A450, A500, A550, A560, A580, A700, A850 and A900 models. The charger replaces the Sony BC-VM10 and AC-SQ950 units. The upgrade is worthwhile when the original pack no longer holds a full charge or when a second battery is required for long shoots.

Charging Limited to 600mA Output

The wall charger provides a fixed 8.4V 600mA output, so a depleted 2400mAh cell needs several hours to reach the green standby light. It cannot fast-charge higher-capacity packs and it lacks a car adapter or USB port. Users needing quicker turnaround or in-vehicle charging will need a separate solution.
