SmallRig NP-F970 USB-C Rechargeable Battery Reviews

Excellence for monitor use!

By Ross
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-10-11

I have three of these SmallRig F970 batteries used to power my on-camera 6" monitors. I've been completely satisfied with the runtime which is more than 6-8 hrs, build quality and charging speed. I highly recommend these over any other batteries for monitors and other related pieces of gear in the field.

Versatile Backup Power That's Earned a Place in My Gear Bag

By Chris
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-29

I purchased this battery as a flexible power option for projects where I couldn't guarantee access to AC power, and it has turned out to be an excellent investment. The large capacity gives me peace of mind when I'm recording on location, and the USB-C charging makes it incredibly convenient. I don't have to carry a dedicated charger—I can top it off with the same USB-C chargers and power banks I already use for my other gear. What I appreciate most is its versatility. Whether I'm powering a camera, monitor, or other compatible equipment, it's become one of those accessories that always goes into my gear bag. It's compact, dependable, and has performed exactly as I hoped. If you're looking for a reliable battery for field production or as a backup power source, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one.

The SmallRig L-Series/NP-F970 USB-C Rechargeable Camera Battery (Orange) can be charged using an Apple 20W USB Type-C Power Adapter without issue. Chargers with higher wattage can also be used for faster charging, a good option is the Lenovo 65W USB Type-C GaN Power Adapter, https://bhpho.to/3GAyMdn.
