Replacement Battery for Sony Handycam Models

The Kastar NP-FV50 is a lithium-ion camera battery rated at 7.2V and 1550mAh. It serves as a direct replacement for the Sony NP-FV50 and compatible NP-FV series packs. The single-cell unit suits owners of listed Handycam and FDR camcorders who need a fresh power source. Built-in protection circuits guard against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating.

Fits Existing Chargers and Camera Bays

The battery slots into the same compartment used by Sony NP-FV30, NP-FV50, NP-FV70 and NP-FV100 packs. It charges on Sony BC-TRV, BC-VH1 and AC-VQH10 chargers without modification. No adapter or firmware update is required, so the swap frees up budget otherwise spent on proprietary packs. The 11.16 Wh capacity supports extended recording sessions on compatible hardware.

Steps Up from Lower-Capacity Packs

Users replacing an NP-FV30 or similar lower-capacity cell gain longer run time per charge. The jump is worth it when shooting events, travel footage or long interviews where battery swaps are impractical. It does not serve cameras that require a different form factor or voltage, nor does it add features beyond reliable power delivery.

Questions about this item

How long can the 1550mAh 7.2V battery run a camcorder before it needs recharging?

The 1550mAh lithium-ion cell stores 11.16 Wh, which typically powers compatible Sony Handycam models for several hours of continuous recording depending on LCD brightness and zoom usage.

Does the NP-FV50 get hot or draw extra power during all-day shooting?

Built-in over-heating and over-current protection circuits keep the 7.2V pack within safe thermal limits during extended use, and the Li-Ion chemistry avoids the self-discharge seen in older chemistries.

Which charger do I already need to recharge this Kastar NP-FV50 pack?

It charges on Sony BC-TRV, BC-VH1 or AC-VQH10 chargers — the same units used for the original NP-FV30, NP-FV50, NP-FV70 and NP-FV100 batteries.
