Neewer 7.2V 3000mAh Replacement Li ion Battery - Longer Flash Runtime

In this review of the Neewer 7.2V/3000mAh replacement Li ion battery, the bottom line is simple: photographers who need noticeably longer flash sessions will appreciate the extended runtime and modern charging options. The reviewer found this pack delivers reliable power for NEEWER Z1, Z2 and Z2PRO series speedlites and compatible TTL flashes for Sony, Nikon and Canon, with a single biggest reason to buy being the high 3000mAh capacity that stretches shooting time between charges.

Key Features

• 3000mAh High Capacity: The 7.2V/3000mAh li ion polymer cell provides extended run time so photographers can take more pops per charge during long sessions.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed for NEEWER Z2PRO, Z2, Z1, Z760 and Z880 TTL speedlites, it works with major mirrorless and DSLR systems from Sony, Nikon and Canon when used in compatible flashes.
• Fast Charging Options: The battery accepts fast charging via the included TypeC cable in about 2.5 hours or around 3 hours with a charging dock, reducing downtime on location.
• Builtin Safety Protections: Internal circuitry guards against overcharge, over discharge, over voltage, over current and overheating for safer daily use.
• Portable and Durable: High energy density and a long recycle life make this pack convenient to carry as a spare without adding excessive bulk.

Who It's For

This replacement battery is best for hobbyist and pro photographers who use NEEWER Z1, Z2 or Z2PRO series speedlites and need longer continuous shooting with flash-wedding shooters, event photographers, and studio users will benefit from fewer interruptions to recharge. Travel and onlocation shooters who value a compact spare battery will also find it practical.

Photographers who do not use the listed NEEWER speedlites or who require integrated proprietary chargers in their existing workflow should look elsewhere; also note the charging dock is not included, so those expecting a full dock in the box must plan to use the supplied TypeC cable or purchase a dock separately.

Pros & Cons
