Charging performance and recommendations
SmallRig specifies a charging example for a common NP-FW50 capacity. For a 1030mAh battery, the charger can deliver a full charge for four batteries in approximately 2 hours under appropriate power conditions. For optimal performance, SmallRig recommends using a USB-C power adapter that supports Power Delivery (PD) with an output of 27W or higher. However, the unit also supports lower-power adapters and will manage the charge sequence accordingly.
