Compact charger for BP-51 batteries

The SIGMA BC-71 is a dedicated battery charger built for the BP-51 cells used in SIGMA fp cameras. It targets photographers who need a lightweight, travel-ready way to keep spare batteries topped up during location shoots or extended sessions. Its small footprint makes it easy to slip into a camera bag without adding bulk.

Replaces reliance on in-camera USB charging

The BC-71 lets you charge a BP-51 outside the camera body, freeing the fp for immediate use while a spare cell powers up. This jump is worth it for anyone who shoots continuously and cannot afford downtime waiting for the internal battery to recover. Photographers who only ever charge overnight inside the camera will not need this separate unit.

Simple USB connection with included cable

Plug the supplied USB cable into the BC-71 and connect to any standard USB power source such as a power bank, laptop or car charger. No proprietary dock or AC adapter is required. The main friction point is ensuring the power source delivers enough current for a full charge; low-output ports will extend the charging time considerably.
