2400mAh NP-FM500H 4-Pack Batteries with AC Charger - Replacement Kit

In this review the reviewer looks at a practical power kit for Sony Alpha DSLR owners who need reliable spares. The bottom line: the 2400mAh replacement batteries bundled with a foldable AC wall charger deliver dependable runtime and convenient charging for extended shoots. Our review finds this pack best for photographers who want multiple OEM-compatible batteries and a simple charger for home use, rather than those seeking original manufacturer packaging or in-camera fast charging features.

Key Features

• Capacity: Each Lithium-Ion cell is 2400mAh, providing extended shooting time between charges for longer sessions.
• Compatibility: Designed to match Sony NP-FM500H form and fit, the pack works with a long list of Alpha DSLR models for straightforward replacement.
• Charger Design: The included AC wall charger has a foldable flat pin that makes it compact for storage and travel in camera bags.
• Wide Input Range: The charger accepts AC 100~240V 50~60Hz so it can be used internationally with the appropriate plug adapter.
• Charge Indicator: A simple LED shows red while charging and green when the battery is on standby or fully charged, making status checks quick and intuitive.
• Value Pack: Four spare batteries plus one AC charger reduce the need to pause shoots to recharge, useful for multi-day shoots or backup power.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at hobbyists, event photographers, and videographers using Sony DSLR models that accept NP-FM500H batteries who need several reliable spares without paying a premium for branded cells. Having four batteries means less downtime on weddings, travel shoots, or long outdoor sessions where recharging opportunities are limited.

It is less appropriate for photographers who require in-car charging or a European plug out of the box, since the package does not include a car adapter or alternate plugs. Those who prefer only original manufacturer batteries may also want to look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High 2400mAh capacity extends shooting time compared with many single-pack spares.
• Foldable-pin AC charger stores flat and supports global voltage for travel convenience.
• LED charge indicator makes it easy to tell when batteries are ready to use.
• Four batteries in one kit reduce the need for frequent recharging during events.

Cons

• Package excludes a car adapter and alternate plug types, so additional accessories may be needed for travel or in-vehicle charging.
• Not an original Sony branded battery, so users seeking factory OEM packaging should consider that before purchase.
