NP-F990 11600mAh Battery 2-Pack with LTD2 USB Charger - Dual Charge

In this review the NP-F990 2-pack from Kastar is evaluated for camcorder users who need long runtime and flexible charging. The bottom line: it is best for videographers and hobbyists who want a high-capacity replacement battery set with a compact USB charger that can top up two cells at once. The reviewer found the combined 11600mAh lithium-ion cells and the LTD2 charger useful for extended shoots, and the intelligent LED indicators and dual-input convenience make it a practical kit to carry in a camera bag.

Key Features

• High capacity battery: The 11600mAh, 7.2V lithium-ion cells provide extended recording time compared with many standard camcorder batteries.
• Dual battery charger: The charger charges two batteries simultaneously, reducing downtime between shoots and letting one battery rest while the other charges.
• Multiple input options: With both Micro-USB and Type-C inputs and a supplied Micro USB cable, the charger works from portable power banks or wall adapters rated 5V 2-3A.
• Interchangeable plate: The charger plate can be swapped to accommodate different battery types, increasing versatility for owners of multiple Sony-compatible packs.
• LED status indicators: The intelligent LED display shows charging status and battery capacity so users can see progress at a glance.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at camera operators, event videographers, and content creators who use older Sony-compatible camcorders and need extra run time without carrying many small batteries. The single pack plus charger setup is particularly useful for day shoots where recharging from a USB power bank is convenient.

It is less suited to users who require OEM batteries with manufacturer warranty matching a specific camera brand, or those who need a charger with very high-power, fast-charging beyond the listed 8.4V 800mA outputs. Check camera compatibility before buying.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High 11600mAh capacity gives noticeably longer recording periods.
• Charger can charge two batteries simultaneously, saving time on location.
• USB power input options make it easy to recharge from a power bank or laptop.

Cons

• The charger output is limited to 8.4V 800mA per bay, so charging is not the fastest option available.

Specifications

Our Verdict

For users of compatible Sony-style camcorders who want long battery life and the flexibility to recharge from USB sources, this 2-pack and LTD2 charger is a strong value. The large 11600mAh cells and dual charging ability reduce interruptions during shoots, though buyers should expect moderate charging speeds from the 800mA outputs.
