SmallRig 5488 Turbo Charging Kit for NP-FW50 – Dual Fast Charger with Two 1030mAh Batteries
This kit includes a dual-channel fast charger and two NP-FW50 camera batteries. It provides full compatibility with Sony NP-FW50 batteries thanks to a built-in decoding chip. As a result, you avoid pop-up battery warnings and retain in-camera power display and the option to use the original Sony charger.
What the kit contains
- Camera Battery Charger for NP-FW50
- 2x Camera Battery for NP-FW50 (true-rated output: 1030mAh)
- 2x Battery Cover
- 60W USB-C to USB-C Cable (1m)
Key charging features
The dual-slot charger supports simultaneous charging of two batteries or single-battery charging when needed. For efficiency, it can fully charge two batteries in approximately 1.5 hours. The charger uses a universal USB-C input and ships with a fast-charging cable, so you can power it from wall adapters, car chargers, or power banks.
Intelligent safety and battery care
The charger uses intelligent circuitry that provides multiple safety protections, including over-temperature and over-voltage safeguards. It continuously monitors temperature and voltage. If the charger detects overheating, it automatically slows the charging rate. In the event of overvoltage, it cuts off power. Near full capacity, the charger switches to trickle charging to preserve battery health.
Status indicators and warnings
Each charging channel features five LED indicators that display power levels in 20% increments. These LEDs function even without external power, so you can check battery status at a glance. Additionally, a red warning light activates when battery levels are critically low.
Compatibility
The kit is designed for Sony NP-FW50 compatible cameras and batteries. It lists compatibility with the following models:
- Sony Alpha 7 II / Alpha 6100 / Alpha 6400 / ZV-E10 / 5000
- Alpha 7S II / 7R / 6500 / 6000 / 7 / 5100 / 6300 / 7S / 7R II
- DSC-RX10M2 / RX10M3 / RX10 / RX10M4 / ILCE-QX1
Certifications
- FCC
- CE
- RoHS
Important usage notes
- Recommended to use a power adapter with 11W or higher output for optimal charging speeds.
- When using a 5V / 1A adapter, the charger operates in slow-charge mode. In that mode it prioritizes charging the battery in Channel 1 first and automatically switches to Channel 2 once Channel 1 is fully charged.

FAQ
Question: Will these batteries work with my Sony camera without error messages?
Answer: Yes. The kit features a full decoding chip that ensures compatibility with Sony NP-FW50 batteries, preventing pop-up warnings and allowing the camera to display battery power.
Question: How long does it take to charge two batteries?
Answer: The dual-slot charger can fully charge two batteries in approximately 1.5 hours under recommended power conditions.
Question: What should I use to power the charger?
Answer: The charger uses a USB-C input and comes with a fast-charging cable. For best results, use a power adapter with 11W or higher output. If you use a 5V / 1A adapter, the charger will operate in slow-charge mode and charge Channel 1 before Channel 2.
Question: What safety protections does the charger provide?
Answer: The intelligent circuitry includes over-temperature and over-voltage safeguards. It monitors temperature and voltage, slows charging during overheating, cuts off power in case of overvoltage, and uses trickle charging near full capacity to protect battery health.
Question: How can I check battery level on the charger?
Answer: Each channel has five LED indicators that show power in 20% increments. These LEDs work even without external power, and a red warning light signals critically low battery levels.
