AC Wall Charger for Sony NP-FM500H

The Kastar AC wall charger accepts 100–240 V input and delivers 8.4 V at 600 mA to compatible Sony Li-Ion batteries. It replaces the original BC-VM10 and AC-SQ950 chargers and works with a wide range of Alpha DSLR and SLT bodies. A foldable flat plug makes it compact for travel or studio bags.

Sustained Charging Behaviour

The unit supplies a steady 600 mA current throughout the charge cycle rather than a short high-current burst. An LED shows red while the battery is charging and turns green once the cell reaches full capacity or the charger is in standby. This constant-current approach keeps temperatures moderate during extended sessions.

Voltage and Connector Limits

Output is fixed at 8.4 V DC, so the charger only suits batteries designed for that nominal voltage. It cannot charge higher-voltage packs or cells with different chemistries. The foldable plug fits standard AC outlets worldwide, but the DC connector is specific to the NP-FM500H form factor.
