Three-pack lithium-ion replacement

This three-pack of Kastar NP-FM500H lithium-ion batteries replaces the Sony NP-FM500H and works with the Sony BC-VM10 AC-SQ950 charger. Each cell delivers 7.4V and 2400mAh for 17.76 Wh of capacity. The pack suits owners of compatible Sony Alpha DSLR and SLT bodies who want spare power on hand.

2400mAh capacity per cell

The single specification that decides fit is the 2400mAh rating at 7.4V, matching the original NP-FM500H. Built-in protection covers over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating. Cells meet UL1642 and CE safety standards. Buyers whose cameras require a different voltage or capacity cannot use this pack.

Low heat in normal shooting

In typical use the batteries run cool and add no audible noise to the camera. Power draw follows the camera's own consumption pattern with no extra overhead from the protection circuit. The 2.2 by 3 by 1.6 inch form factor fits the battery compartment without forcing the door.

Questions about this item

How long does the 2400 mAh rating actually run a camera like the Alpha 58?

The 2400 mAh capacity at 7.4 V gives 17.76 Wh, which typically powers an Alpha 58 for several hundred shots per charge depending on flash and LCD use.

Does the built-in protection circuit limit charging speed on the Sony BC-VM10?

The protection circuit guards against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating; it does not cap the normal charging rate of the BC-VM10.

Will the 2.2 by 3 by 1.6 inch pack fit the battery door on an Alpha 77 II?

The dimensions match the NP-FM500H form factor, so the pack seats and latches correctly in the Alpha 77 II battery compartment.
