SmallRig 5483 Turbo Charging Kit for NP-FZ100 Camera Batteries – Dual-Channel Fast Charger with 1940mAh True-Rated Batteries
This SmallRig 5483 kit includes two high-performance NP-FZ100-compatible batteries and a dual-channel fast charger. It uses a full decoding chip to ensure compatibility with Sony NP-FZ100 batteries, preventing pop-up warnings and allowing the camera to display accurate in-camera power information. You can also continue to use the original Sony charger with these batteries.
Key features and safety
- Full decoding chip: Ensures full compatibility with Sony NP-FZ100 batteries and prevents camera pop-up warnings.
- True-rated battery output: Each battery delivers a true-rated output of 1940mAh for extended shooting time.
- Dual-channel fast charging: The charger can charge two batteries simultaneously or a single battery on its own.
- Intelligent safety circuitry: Provides multiple protections such as over-temperature and over-voltage safeguards.
- Thermal and voltage monitoring: The charger monitors temperature and voltage, slowing charge during overheating, cutting off power on overvoltage, and switching to trickle charge near full capacity to preserve battery life.
- LED indicators: Each charging channel has five LED indicators that show battery level in 20% increments, even when the charger is not connected to external power. A red warning light indicates critically low battery levels.
- Universal USB-C input: The charger uses a USB-C input and includes a fast-charging cable, making it compatible with wall adapters, car chargers, and power banks for flexible charging on the go.
- Certifications: CCC, FCC, CE, RoHS, ISED, KC, RCM.
Charging performance and behavior
The charger can fully charge two batteries in approximately 2 hours when supplied with sufficient power, providing quick turnaround for demanding workflows. For best results, SmallRig recommends using a power adapter rated 22.5W or higher. If you use a lower-power adapter such as a 5V / 2.4A unit, the charger will switch to slow-charge mode. In slow-charge mode, it will prioritize charging the battery in Channel 1 first and automatically switch to Channel 2 once Channel 1 is fully charged.

Notes and practical advice
- Recommended power adapter: 22.5W or higher for optimal charging speed and simultaneous two-battery fast charging.
- If you use a 5V / 2.4A adapter, the charger will operate in slow-charge mode and will prioritize Channel 1 before switching to Channel 2.
- Because the charger includes temperature and voltage monitoring, it will automatically adjust charging to protect battery health during heavy use.
FAQ
-
Question: Will these batteries show accurate charge levels in my Sony camera?
Answer: Yes. The kit uses a full decoding chip that enables accurate in-camera power display and prevents pop-up compatibility warnings.
-
Question: Can I charge both batteries at once, and how long does it take?
Answer: Yes. The dual-channel charger can charge two batteries simultaneously and can fully charge two batteries in approximately 2 hours when using a sufficiently powerful adapter.
-
Question: What happens if I use a low-power adapter like 5V / 2.4A?
Answer: The charger will switch to slow-charge mode, prioritizing Channel 1 until it is full, then charging Channel 2 automatically.
-
Question: Is the charger safe to use with power banks or car chargers?
Answer: Yes. The charger has a universal USB-C input and includes a fast-charging USB-C cable, so it works with compatible wall adapters, car chargers, and power banks.
-
Question: What protections does the charger offer to protect batteries?
Answer: The charger monitors temperature and voltage, slows charging during overheating, cuts power in case of overvoltage, and uses trickle charging near full capacity to preserve battery health.
