Two-pack replacement for Sony NP-FP50/51
This two-pack supplies 7.4 V lithium-ion cells rated at 1 200 mAh and 8.88 Wh each, matching the NP-FP50 and NP-FP51 form factor used across a wide range of Sony Handycam models. It suits owners of DCR-HC, DCR-DVD, DCR-SR and HDR-HC camcorders who want spare or replacement power without changing chargers.
1 200 mAh per cell gives extended recording time
Each battery delivers 1 200 mAh at 7.4 V, providing noticeably longer run-time than the original NP-FP30 while remaining compatible with Sony BC-TRP, BC-VH1 and AC-VQH10 chargers. The capacity covers typical event or travel shoots, though very long sessions or high-drain accessories will still require a third cell or mains power.
Built-in protection meets UL 1642 and CE
The pack includes over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating circuits certified to UL 1642 and CE standards, so the cells shut down safely under fault conditions. Buyers needing higher-capacity NP-FP70/71 or NP-FP90/91 cells should look elsewhere, as this model is fixed at 1 200 mAh.

Questions about this item
Will the 7.4 V Kastar NP-FP50 / NP-FP51 batteries fit my older DCR-HC21 camcorder?
Yes, the 7.4 V Kastar NP-FP50 / NP-FP51 batteries are listed as compatible with the DCR-HC21 and other HC-series camcorders.
How can I verify the 1200 mAh packs are charging correctly on my Sony BC-TRP charger?
The BC-TRP charger will show its normal charge indicator; the built-in protection circuit stops charging when the 1200 mAh cells reach full voltage.
Does the 2-pack include a charger or only the two 8.88 Wh batteries?
The box contains two 8.88 Wh lithium-ion batteries only; a compatible Sony charger such as the BC-TRP must be purchased separately.
