Kastar LP-E6N Pro 4-Pack Battery Replacement for BMPCC 4K/6K

In this review the Kastar 4-Pack LP-E6N Pro Battery Replacement is assessed for filmmakers and videographers who need reliable spare power for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K. The bottom line: this set is best for users who want convenient USB charging and long runtime at a lower cost than OEM cells, with built-in protection circuits that address safety concerns. The review focuses on real-world charging convenience, compatibility with the BMPCC series, and whether four batteries represent good value for a production kit.

Key Features

• USB Charging: Each battery charges with a Micro USB port using a 5V 2A adapter, allowing convenient wall or on-the-go charging without a proprietary charger.
• High Capacity: The 2300mAh capacity and 7.2V output provide extended run time compared with many single-use replacements, so cameras run longer between swaps.
• Safety Circuitry: Built-in over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current, and over-heating protection helps protect camera electronics and improves cell longevity.
• Broad Compatibility: These batteries are compatible with Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K bodies and listed camera and monitor models, making them a flexible spare option for mixed rigs.
• Value Pack: The 4-pack offers multiple hot-swappable batteries for daylong shoots, reducing downtime and the need to constantly recharge during a shoot.

Who It's For

The Kastar 4-pack is aimed at independent filmmakers, content creators, and production assistants who need several dependable replacement batteries for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K. It is particularly useful on location shoots and multi-camera setups where USB charging and multiple spares keep the shoot running without carrying a separate dedicated charger.

Users who require manufacturer-tracked battery analytics, the absolute highest OEM compatibility assurances, or quicker top-off speeds than 5V 2A USB can provide should consider dedicated OEM batteries or a dedicated charger. Those using different camera brands should verify voltage and form factor compatibility before purchasing.
