SmallRig 5493 Camera Battery Charger for NP-FW50 – Dual-slot fast charging with USB-C input
The SmallRig 5493 guarantees full compatibility with Sony NP-FW50 batteries and charges both original and third-party batteries. Its dual-slot design lets you charge two batteries at the same time or charge a single battery when needed. For efficiency, the charger can fully charge two batteries in approximately 1.5 hours.
Status indicators and warning light
Each charging channel features five LED indicators that communicate remaining power in 20% increments. These LEDs display battery levels even when the charger is not connected to external power. In addition, a red warning light activates when battery levels are critically low, helping you spot batteries that need immediate attention.
USB-C input and versatile charging options
The charger uses a universal USB-C input and includes a fast-charging USB-C cable. Therefore, you can power the charger from wall adapters, car chargers, and power banks for on-the-go charging. Note: when you use a 5V / 1A adapter, the charger switches to slow-charge mode and prioritizes charging the battery in Channel 1 first, then automatically switches to Channel 2 once Channel 1 is fully charged.
Intelligent circuitry and safety features
SmallRig designed the 5493 with intelligent circuitry that provides multiple safety protections. The charger monitors temperature and voltage continuously. When it detects overheating, it automatically slows the charging rate. If the charger encounters overvoltage, it cuts off power to protect the battery. Near full capacity, the unit uses trickle charging to preserve battery health.
