Wasabi Power Battery 2-Pack and Charger for Sony L Series - Reliable

In this review the Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Charger is evaluated for shooters and content creators who use cameras compatible with Sony L series batteries. The kit's single biggest selling point is straightforward: it provides two high-capacity 7.4V, 8500mAh replacement batteries plus a mini rapid charger that accepts 110-240V and includes a European plug and car adapter, making it a practical power solution for long shoots and travel. The reviewer found the set to be a cost-conscious alternative to original-brand batteries while offering a reassuring 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Key Features

• High capacity cells: Each battery uses Premium Grade-A cells at 7.4V and 8500mAh, giving longer run times than many lower-capacity third-party cells.
• Complete kit: The package includes two batteries and one mini rapid AC charger with fold-out US plug, European plug and car adapter, allowing charging on the road or at home.
• Wide voltage charger: The charger accepts 110-240V input, so it can be used internationally without a voltage converter.
• Cross compatibility: Batteries work with the Sony original charger and the included charger accepts Sony original batteries, offering flexible charging options.
• Warranty protection: All items include a 3-year manufacturer warranty, which provides extra peace of mind for professional use.

Who It's For

This kit is well suited to videographers, indie filmmakers, and photographers who need extended runtime for cameras that accept Sony NP-F950/960/970/975 style batteries, including a range of consumer camcorders and certain monitor/recorder devices. The high 8500mAh capacity is useful when a single battery needs to power long takes, field shoots, or multi-hour monitor operation.

Casual users with brief shooting sessions or those who require ultra-fast charging may prefer lower-capacity or faster-charging options; also, anyone needing exact OEM brand labeling for rental house inventory should look elsewhere. Still, for value-conscious professionals who want reliable spare batteries and versatile charging, this kit is a practical choice.
