K&F Concept 4-Channel NP-F Battery Charger with LCD Display for Sony NP-F970, NP-F960, NP-F950, NP-F930, NP-F770, NP-F750, NP-F570, NP-F550 Camera Camcorder Battery Euro Plug

If you are looking for a multiple battery charger, this is the one you need to purchase. It allows to charge up to four batteries at the same time. It also has a charging indicator that will allow you to watch the status of the charge. It supports all kinds of NP-F570 up to NP-F960.
Overall, this has been a great addition to my charging station as I usually charge between 8-12 batteries on a single session.

This product comes inside a cardboard box; once opened, you'll find the product itself (a charger) and a wire; it is a UK plug socket. After viewing this product, it is priced at £39.99; it charges many different batteries; I am using NP-F970 batteries; the product charges them all very well and quickly.
The product's wire is a little short, but it's long enough for most purposes; the product is high quality, and there is a little screen that shows the amount of battery - it's a really useful bit of kit, especially inside of a studio, it lets you quickly recharge your batteries and get back out shooting.
I definitely recommend this product

If you are using a variety of the larger Sony NP batteries then this is a must have, no question.
4 charging slots mean the chances of you ever running out of power are almost zero given how long these batteries last anyway, it charges quickly and efficiently and is something I would consider taking on a job over a couple of V mount batteries given the more lightweight nature of NP when rigged and the ability to have several charged at once.
Recommended.!

This charger does the job! And even has a percentage LCD for each battery which is awesome I've never had that before. Some of the images showed batteries so I assumed like pretty much every other product of this kind I found - that it came with 4 batteries. It does not. My bad! Good charger good price.

This charger has been a game-changer for managing my NP-F batteries. It charges up to four batteries at once, which is super handy when I'm prepping for shoots. The wall plug gives it more power, so it charges faster than the basic USB chargers that came with my batteries. The charging indicator is a great feature, showing the charge levels, which helps me know if a battery is ready to go or needs more time.
One minor issue I noticed was that the first time I used it, one battery gave an error, but re-inserting it fixed the problem. The batteries lay flat in the charger, making it longer than some standing designs, but I prefer this because it's more compact and fits well in my gear bag. The only downside is the display stays lit when plugged in without batteries, which might be annoying if you plan to leave it connected all the time.
Overall, the build quality is decent and fits my needs, even if it feels a bit on the budget side. It's not the fastest charger, but having all four batteries ready by morning works perfectly for me. A solid choice for anyone using NP-F batteries regularly!

I have a whole bunch of NP-F batteries (550's and 750's) and they take forever to charge on the regular USB chargers they came with.
This plugs into the wall (so it has higher power) and fast charges them.
Most importantly, it does 4 at a time AND has a charging indicator letting me know whether they're nearly empty or nearly full. I can look at the charger and know if a battery is good enough to use in a pinch.
The batteries lay flat in the charger (as opposed to standing), which makes the base a little longer than it needs to be, but I've seen other chargers that stand the batteries and are large enough to accommodate all sized batteries, which makes them much larger than necessary. This is small enough to fit with my gear and handy to have as I'm going through batteries on a shoot.

I have a number of NP-F style batteries and it's always a pain to get them all charged up with the limited number of charges I have. This charger solves that problem and makes it much more convenient to get them charged up in bulk instead of one at a time. The charger interface itself is pretty basic, but it's not much different than the single battery chargers I have.
This does not appear to be a fast charger, as it takes a while to charge up even my smaller NP-F batteries. But being able to fill it up with four batteries at night and have them all charged up by morning works for my needs. The build quality is pretty good and is what I expect from the K&F Concept brand that I've grown to like. I'm pretty happy with this charger.

the charger came with a cable to charge. what I like about this is that when you put the bigger batteries other types you would have to struggle to get them out. this one they thought about that and add a space to put you finger to disconnect the battery from the charger. the display shows them separately. it charges fast and portable. great deal to be able to charge 4 large Np batteries.

K&F Concept has produced another fine product, to compliment several others that they currently produce.
This is pretty simple NP-F battery charger, but with a total of four charging bays - that's excellent! If you have a number of NP batteries, it's great to be able to load up this charger and not have to worry about swapping out charged batteries every few hours. After a shoot, just collect all your batteries, put them in the charger and walk away. Come back in the morning, everything is up and ready to go. Nice!
The bottom of the charger is just one big, flat surface - save for the slight rings around the four screw holes that hold the unit together. Four silicone "stick-on feet" do wonders in terms of keeping the unit on a table. The charger uses a standard AC cord that attaches to one side of the charger. It's a decent flat, electrical cord, 18AWG and with a standard two-prong plug. That end plug has a very good strain relief and is very easy to grab and pull out of an outlet. At slightly over three feet, it could use a longer cable, in my opinion. I am tired of short electrical cords.
The display is clear and displays in green. It can also show 1. Charge, 2. Error, 3. Discharge, as well as showing the amount of charge in the battery. I would prefer a 4 bar graph, but this displays in a 3 segment bar.
I did not disassemble the unit to check on this, but I have had chargers where the input power connector is directly soldered to the motherboard. The problem with that, is that after a lot of putting the cable and then taking the cable out, the motherboard can break. This has happened to me on more than one occasion. The only solution I can offer, is to keep the cable attached to the charger as much as you can. Unplug the unit from the mains when not in use, but leave the other connection attached to the charger.
Bottom Line - A decent charger, that offers 4 independent and separate slots for charging up NP batteries, at 1000mA, 8.4volts. Also makes an excellent back-up battery charger, too!
