Great Product
I’ve been using the SMALLRIG 10500mAh Replacement USB-C Battery for Sony NP-F970 for a few weeks now, and it’s safe to say this thing is a beast. First off, the capacity is legit — 10500mAh keeps my Sony FX3 and A7 IV powered far longer than standard NP-F batteries, and the PD 36W fast charging is no joke. I’ve gone from nearly dead to fully charged in just over 3.5 hours, which is a lifesaver when you're constantly moving between shoots or charging between takes. The USB-C input/output port is a massive plus. I can charge it via USB-C and also use it to power or top off other gear like my R5, Z8, or even my Atomos monitor. No need to carry multiple chargers or wall bricks anymore — this battery has become the hub of my on-set power strategy. Build quality? Rock solid. Like most SMALLRIG gear, it's thoughtfully designed and durable, with clear battery level indicators and excellent heat dissipation. I’ve also used it to power LED panels during interviews, and it held up like a champ with no overheating or sudden power drop-offs. If you're in the mirrorless/hybrid ecosystem — whether Sony, Canon, or Nikon — and need a reliable, versatile power source, this battery is 100% worth the investment. SMALLRIG knocked it out of the park.

Best Battery in Its Class – Reliable, Durable, and Totally Worth It
These batteries are hands-down the best choice in this category. What I love most is the charge level indicator — unlike my other batteries where I feel like I’m gambling every time I use them, this one clearly shows how much power is left. No more guessing games! The USB-C output is a total lifesaver and gives me the flexibility I need in fast-paced shoots. The battery life is impressive — it holds a charge really well — and the color, build quality, and solid casing make it feel like a premium product. For what you get, the price is absolutely fair. I’ve already bought six of them and don’t regret a single one. Highly recommended if you want reliability, power, and thoughtful design all in one package.

The most high functioning multi purpose video light battery out
5/5 Rating I am Very Impressed with these SMALLRIG 10500mAh Replacement USB-C Batteries for Sony NP-F970. I'm a photographer by hobby but have been wanting to get into videography. These batteries can power so many things. they can power small camera monitors, they can power video lights, they can power anything USB-C cable related. That's what makes these stand out along with the high battery capacity. The 10,500 mah will allow you to power video lights for 3 hours easily. SmallRig has been known to put out very high quality parts as I own many of their products. I'm impressed to the point that I bought two. I plan on buying more. Pros Easy to use Digital display to show power level - no more guessing High battery capacity Super fast charging Can charge anything USB-C related Cons None

A good battery for production and power bank
I seriously think Smallrig's battery is revolutionary cause you can charge it with USB-C! Normally, it takes several hours to charge one but this one charge really fast cause USB-C supports up to 36W. Super fast. Also, you can charge it while using accessories which is quite handy as well. Tho I mainly used it for accessories but I also use it as a power bank which is 75Wh. Not that big and heavy to use. I used it while traveling and it kills the need of V mount battery.

★★★★★ Outstanding Battery Life
I’ve been using this SMALLRIG 10,500mAh NP-F970 replacement battery with my Atomos Shinobi II, and the battery life has been outstanding. During one shoot, it powered the monitor for over 5 straight hours, and it still had about 55% battery remaining when I finished. The battery fits securely, powers the monitor consistently, and I haven’t experienced any unexpected shutdowns or power fluctuations. It also feels well made and has been reliable throughout multiple uses. If you need a high-capacity NP-F970 battery for external monitors, LED lights, or other compatible gear, this is an excellent option. The long runtime alone makes it a great value.

Versatile and game changing
Absolute powerhouse! One of my employees recommended this battery to add to our gear bag and let me tell you, it’s phenomenal. For years we have we have purchased cheap batteries that you have to charge alllll the time. No more. This battery will replace every single one of those. No more wondering how much battery life is left. No more having to worry about charging multiple times per shoot. This one is great. Fits my light and my atomos perfect. The weight to value ratio is spot on. Recharging via usb-c is a game changer. The compatibility across products is a breathe of fresh air compared to other batteries. 10/10 would recommend!

Excellent NP-F battery that's perfect when I don't need my full V-mount rig
Although I normally power my Sony FX30 with a SmallRig V-mount battery system, I bought this NP-F970 battery for those occasions when I want to keep my setup smaller and lighter. I use it to power my Portkeys LH5C monitor, and it's been completely reliable. The battery provides excellent runtime, allowing me to use the monitor for extended shooting sessions without worrying about it running flat. Having the monitor powered independently also means I can strip the camera back to a much more compact setup when I'm travelling light or shooting handheld. One feature I particularly like is the built-in USB-C charging. Being able to recharge the battery directly without a separate NP-F charger makes life much easier, especially when travelling. It also means one less charger to carry in my camera bag. Build quality is exactly what I've come to expect from SmallRig. It feels well made, fits the monitor securely and has performed flawlessly since I bought it. I've experienced no unexpected shutdowns or connection issues. My typical setup includes a Sony FX30, Portkeys LH5C monitor, DJI Focus Pro follow focus and Fujinon MK18-55 and MK50-135 T2.9 cine zooms. When I'm using my full cinema rig, the monitor is powered from my V-mount battery. For smaller jobs, however, this NP-F970 is the perfect solution, allowing me to leave the V-mount system at home while still enjoying excellent battery life. If you use an external monitor, LED light or any other NP-F-powered accessory, this is an excellent battery. The combination of long runtime, USB-C charging and solid build quality makes it a great addition to any camera kit.

Great Battery!
Fantastic battery for so many accessories, I've used it for continuous power to my cameras, to power a slider, to power a monitor. Everything I have used it for works great and better than factory batteries. I'm probably going to have to get a few more in the future.
