I have a grievance with modern cameras - their batteries deplete too quickly. I purchased some additional batteries from Sony for my A7R3, but they were costly. I was hesitant to try third-party brands, but I recently came across replacement batteries from some well-known brands. I decided to give them a try.
K&F is a reputable brand in the photography industry. I have previously used their ND filters and tripods, so I was intrigued when I saw the NP-FZ100 battery for my camera. It is almost identical to some of the other third-party NP-FZ100 batteries available online, such as those from Neewer. What I appreciate about them and this particular one from K&F is that you do not require a charging dock. You can simply plug in the USB-C cable directly into the battery. This is particularly convenient when traveling. While I am unsure about the battery life at this point, it appears to be performing almost as well as the original Sony batteries.

Whenever I pick up new batteries, I always look for ones with a built-in charge feature. No special charger, no extra room in the camera bag or luggage for a charger. And no FORGETTING a charger. Even if you somehow forget or lose a USB cord, you can get them anywhere. Yea, I have arrived at a weekend shoot and realized the charger was missing. Lesson learned. Even if you prefer standard chargers or charging in-camera, this battery is an ideal backup. Plus, obviously, it's also an additional camera battery.

Excellent battery. It charges fast, and it holds charges just like the original; I love that I can set it with the USB C.

So far this has been a very dependable high capacity battery for the Sony. A lot of the generic batteries don’t perform so well but so far this one has been fantastic. You can charge it through the camera or a dedicated charger or in this case through the battery directly. That’s a nice option if you’re out and about and do not happen to have your charger on you. I am not a fan of wearing out the USB port in the actual camera if I can help it. I know these ports eventually fail and so I try to use the ones in expensive devices as little as possible. USB-C ports seem particularly susceptible to wear and tear.
And this is a trusted brand so I will buy these batteries all day long. Not a fan of the FDE coloring but hey, they are easier to see in the bag.

Pro: being able to charge the battery directly from a USB cable means no need to take a charging base on the road.
Con: the battery is slightly heavier than a normal NP-FZ100 battery, but once in the camera you feel no difference.
I've used this battery to shoot a few dozen pictures over a three-hour period. I'm in the habit of turning my camera power off between pictures, so my battery life is generally pretty good. This battery was no exception; at the end of the three hours, it still showed a full charge. (I'll post an update in the future should I find battery life isn't comparable to my Sony or other third party batteries.)

I am getting similar performance to the Sony and K&F non-USB FZ100 batteries that I have. I have other 3rd party batteries and they don't last nearly as long so it is notable that the K&F are working so well. This battery has a bright charging LED that makes is clear when it is charging (RED) or complete (GREEN). It does get awfully hot while charging. The slip of paper it came with says the input is 5V 1A. It drops right into my A7C just like any OEM battery and I haven't noticed and problems. This will be a good day trip battery for me since I can easily connect it to an external battery and put it back in my bag while using a standard battery. I do have an external charger for standard batteries that works with a power bank but I have more faith in the cable staying plugged into this battery than the batteries staying inserted into a charger.

After 9 months no problem, on A7 III it works well with a duration slightly lower than the original. The built-in USB-C port is brilliant, even if I don't use it often having a dedicated charger. I would buy it again.

Battery seems to have the same power as the original battery. But my 7RV issued a warning that this battery was not original and could damage the camera... So far so good.
