SmallRig NP-F970 USB-C Rechargeable Battery Reviews

Greatest battery life !!

By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-24

Battery works great as an external power source for Sony ZV E10 Mark ii . ALL DAY battery for long recordings are at my disposable without the worry of checking for battery life. Can charge up to 4 devices with 2 dc ports, 1 Usb-c port and 1 Usb-A port. Camera, monitor and light or microphone, you have options with this l-series npf 970. Adapter has 1/4 20 screw to mount to cage, tripod, or underneath the camera itself for minimal setup. A great choice for all to most of the day power Only con is when battery is connected to adapter, it automatically turns on and ready to give power with out option to turn off adapter. So be ready to use when connected to adapter. BONUS - Both Usb-c and Usb-a ports can charge 2 devices solo without being connected to the adapter. Great buy!!

Serious power for my LED lights

By Jon Scott
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-12

I bought this battery to power my Godox RS60Bi LED light. I needed a battery that could last over an hour for studio work and this does the job. An added benefit of the battery is that it can power my Godox iT30 shoe-mount flash. If the iT30's built-in battery starts running low I can connect it via USB-C to the SmallRig battery and carry it in my shirt pocket.

Can this be used in place of np-f770?
Asked by: Long
The SmallRig L-Series/NP-F970 USB-C Rechargeable Camera Battery (Orange) is just a larger longer-life NP-F battery; it could be used in the place of an NP-F770 battery if you want longer runtimes with the products you use it with.

can someone confirm this works on Canon R6 II with normal battery installed (not dummy battery setup)? thanks!
Asked by: RYAN
Yes, the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F970 USB-C Rechargeable Camera Battery (Orange) should be able to power the Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera via USB-C as the battery is PD compatible and supplies the same amperage and voltage as the Canon PD-E1.

Asked by: DAVID
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.
