Toprig BC-01 PD 100W 4-Channel NP-F Battery Charger - Clear LCD Status

In this review the Toprig BC-01 PD 100W charger shows itself as a practical solution for camera operators and content creators who use Sony NP-F series batteries. The single biggest reason to consider it is its clear 1.47-in full-color LCD that reports instant battery level and charging status for up to four batteries at once, which simplifies battery management on shoots. The unit is especially useful when paired with a PD 100W power adapter (sold separately) and for anyone who needs simultaneous, independent charging and an under-voltage activation option for dormant NP-F packs.

Key Features

• Full-color LCD: The 1.47-in display shows real-time battery level and charging mode so users can check status at a glance without guessing.
• Four independent channels: Four sockets allow simultaneous charging of multiple NP-F batteries, saving time on busy production schedules.
• Two charging modes per socket: Each channel offers Smart Mode for faster charging and Safe Mode for low-rate trickle charging to protect battery health.
• Battery level detection: The charger will display an instant battery power level even when not actively charging, which helps identify which cells need attention.
• Under-voltage activation: The BC-01 can activate idle or under-voltage NP-F batteries when connected to power, restoring packs that otherwise would not register.
• Wide NP-F compatibility: Compatible with common Sony NP-F sizes including NP-F550, NP-F750 and NP-F970 to cover most camera and monitor battery needs.

Who It's For

The BC-01 is best suited to independent videographers, small production teams, and run-and-gun creators who rely on multiple Sony NP-F batteries and need a compact, multi-bay charger with clear status reporting. Its LCD and independent channels reduce the guesswork of which battery is ready and which needs more time.

It is less suitable for users who do not already own or plan to buy a PD 100W USB-C power adapter, since the charger requires a 100W PD source (sold separately) to reach full functionality. Buyers who need an all-in-one wall adapter included should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clear 1.47-in color LCD gives immediate battery level and charge status for each slot.
• Four independent sockets let you charge multiple NP-F batteries simultaneously without interference.
• Smart and Safe modes provide a balance between faster charging and battery longevity.
• Under-voltage activation can revive idle NP-F packs that otherwise appear dead.

Cons

• Requires a PD 100W socket charger adapter that is not included, adding extra cost and a dependency.
• Power distribution limits mean maximum combined output depends on your PD adapter, so some fast-charge expectations require the proper 100W source.

Our Verdict

The Toprig BC-01 is a smartly designed four-channel NP-F charger that earns its place in a camera kit because of the readable LCD, independent channels, and battery activation feature. It is good value for users who already use NP-F batteries and can provide a 100W PD source, offering efficient multi-battery management and protection-oriented charging modes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this charger include the PD 100W adapter?
The BC-01 does not include the PD 100W socket charger; a PD 100W USB-C adapter must be purchased separately for full operation.

Will it revive completely dead NP-F batteries?
The unit offers under-voltage activation that can restore many idle NP-F batteries when connected to power, but results depend on the battery condition.

Can all four channels charge at full speed simultaneously?
Power distribution depends on the connected PD 100W adapter; the charger supports independent channels, but combined output is limited by the PD source.
