Straightforward Charging Station; Compatibility May Vary
I like that the charger is a straightforward drop-in solution and the batteries fit in securely; I did not have any difficult charging the batteries with the included USB-C cable. It's nice that the charger has an additional micro USB port as an alternative cable charging option.
Areas of improvement:
- I wish the charger had a display with percentage reading instead of a red LED that turns green; it would give me a better gauge on how much longer I need to charge and manage my time around charging cycles.
I did run into a compatibility issue with my F400 Pro field monitor where the battery pack locks in; I noticed that the spacing for the locking tab is offset by a few millimeters. I will probably need to do more comparison testing with Sony equipment to see which of these non-OEM batteries fit better.
Overall, the construction of the batteries and charger feel well built; None of the plastics felt too brittle and the rigidity is acceptably. I did not see any physical damage nor imperfections with the finishes.
