I got these batteries to replace some older batteries for my Canon R5. The thing about Smallrig is that they make product that work, hard wearing and affordable (saving around 60% compared to a Canon battery). They work perfectly and can be charged together without lugging around a mains adapter. Would highly recommend!
This works great with my a7iv but I get the ‘this battery isn’t etc etc’ message on the fx30 and then I don’t get any kind of battery life indication. Very annoying from Sony
Works with the Nikon Z9. Cheaper than the Nikon version. Does not need a charger as it comes with a usb lead that plugs into the battery. Great service and delivery. Highly recommended.
The USB C charging port is a great addition and very useful out in the field if using a power pack. It was this aspect which made me choose this over brands that are much cheaper. Those cheaper brands have lasted just as well as original Nikon batteries, one failed but so did a Nikon one a month later. Third party suppliers are a good choice for hobbyist photographers on a budget. I like the fact this battery is a different colour as I can continue to keep D850 batteries separate from D500 ones, even though they are interchangeable. The extra mAhs is noticeable for sure. Really glad I picked this brand over others.
Used this battery with a Nikon Z7 MKII and it works perfectly. The USB C charging port saves you having to take a charging unit when travelling and enables charging in a variety of locations. Battery life seems very good.
The battery charged ok and instantly recognised by the camera. I would say it lasts as long as the original Canon battery but costs significantly less. Very happy with it as a second battery.
Great batteries, good capacity and easy charging via usb-c BUT watch out, they’re slightly bigger than the original sony NP-F550. I needed one for my battery grip and it wouldn’t fit inside, slightly disappointing, but great for any other use
Fantastic battery.
No need for charger or dock. USB cable plugs directly into battery.
Holds charge superbly.
Quality materials and perfect fit in my camera which also recognises it.
Cannot fault it.
I have tried other brands of this battery and they just weren’t as good in every aspect.
You pay a little more but you get a whole lot more !!

Conclusin
Una de las caractersticas ms importantes de esta batera para m es su carga rpida. Prefiero usar bateras de capacidad similar ya que son ligeras y no lastran mi equipo. Sin embargo, debido a su menor capacidad en comparacin con las bateras ms gruesas, se descargan ms rpido y requieren una carga ms frecuente. Por eso, es muy valioso que esta batera se cargue en slo tres horas gracias a la carga rpida y que haya una indicacin cuando la batera se est cargando. Tambin me gusta que venga con una tapa que protege los contactos, para que los contactos de la batera estn siempre en buen estado.
J’aime beaucoup ces versions de batterie SMALLRIG car elles sont surboostes par rapport la version originale et a se ressent nettement au niveau de l’autonomie, car mes autres batteries NP-F550 de 2600mAh ne tiennent vraiment pas aussi longtemps.
On le voit galement physiquement, car elles sont plus hautes que les autres. Personnellement, je les vois comme une sorte de gamme entre les NP-F550 et les NP-F570.
En plus de a, on peut les recharger directement en USB-C, ce qui peut tre assez pratique quand on n’a pas de chargeur ou quand on est dans la voiture par exemple.
Bref, ce n’est pas la premire fois que je teste cette gamme de batterie et je ne suis jamais du. Pour moi, c’est une valeur sre. Forcment, je ne peux que valider !
Der Akku ist etwas dicker/hher als gngige NP-F550 Akkus, aber schmaler/niedriger als andere NP-F550 Akkus mit integriertem USB-C Ladeanschluss. Und dass, obwohl die Kapazitt wesentlich hher ausfllt, was ich beeindruckend finde.
Ich habe NP-F550 Akkus von 5 verschiedenen Marken und alle haben eine Nennkapazitt von 2200 mAh @7.4V = 16,28 Wh. Der SmallRig NP-F550 (4331) kommt auf 25,4 Wh mit 3500 mAh @7.27V. Das entspricht einer 56% hheren Kapazitt. Das bedeutet, dass man mit einer einzigen Akkukapazitt ein Gert (Videolicht, Fieldmonitor/Rekorder etc.) viel lnger betreiben kann, ohne den Akku wechseln zu mssen. Das ist super gut.
Darber hinaus ist der Akku gegenber lteren Modellen im Allgemeinen praktischer, da man ihn direkt per USB-C aufladen kann. So hat man ein Ladegert weniger, das man mit sich herumtragen muss und kann den Akku notfalls auch an einer Powerbank oder einem KFZ-Ladegert aufladen.
Aber das haben auch andere Marken in ihre NP-F Akkus integriert. Im Unterschied zu diesen gibt es keine Anzeige des Ladestands am Akku, bei anderen gibt es dafr eine Taste und vier LEDs auf der Unterseite. Das finde ich aber nicht allzu tragisch, da Videoleuchten und Fieldmonitore, die man mit dem Akku verwenden wrde, selbst eine Ladestandsanzeige haben und der Akku ansonsten durch die zustzliche Elektronik nicht mehr ganz so schn kompakt wre.
Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Akku.
This has good capacity and fits perfectly, the best feature in my humble opinion is the USB-C charging which allows me to charge it on the go without a dedicated charger, as a wedding photographer this will come in handy when I’m on the go-between venues, so far no issues at all with this quality battery.
Over the last few years I’ve expanded my kit and certain brand names have been my favourite – Smallrig is one of them. Their cages are incredible and their other photography/videography items have all been excellent, and this is no different.
I’ve never had a problem with NPF batteries, but I know people who have purchased cheap ones which have exploded or simply not performed over time. I have full confidence in Smallrig as it is a brand I have come to trust, this may be an expensive battery but batteries are well worth investing in.
This battery looks great, which might sound like an odd thing to say about a battery, but the blue-grey exterior really looks nice. It’s also useful too, I’ve started marking my batteries with stickers so I know which are which, and which are charged – but this is instantly recognisable.
It also comes with a protective cover for the contacts. This is a *brilliant* idea and I honestly don’t know why other battery manufacturers don’t do it (actually, I have other Smallrig batteries and they don’t them either!). It’s such a good idea, it protects the contacts and also it just feels safer knowing that they are ocvered, in my kit bag I have so many metal things and various batteries that i would have more peace-of-mind if all my batteries had covers like this.
This is the first USB-C chargeable NPF battery I’ve had and it just makes this batteries even more useful. I’m still likely to charge this using one of the many NPF battery charging plates I have, but it’s always nice to have the option of of USB charging too.
…..NOTE: I’ve tried to find NPF battery covers and nowhere seems to sell them. It’s such an amazing idea I just assumed someone would sell them – if Smallrig read this review – please sell NPF battery covers like the ones which come with this product, I *need* them in my life!
In a nutshell: Attractive and useful. This NPF battery may cost a bit more than some cheaper brands, but it is a quality battery and comes with extras: USB charging AND that fantastic battery cover. Love it.

( ! ) Ne peut pas se recharger sur un chargeur “classique” pour batteries NP-F550. Peut-tre possible avec le chargeur de SMALLRIG, mais je n’en dispose pas pour confirmer ce fait.
Utilizzo questo tipo di batterie sia per dei faretti che per un piccolo monitor da studio e grazie ai suoi 3500mAh ho subito notato la maggiore durata rispetto a quelle in mio possesso. Ad ogni modo il vero punto di forza del prodotto a mio avviso la porta USB-C integrata che ci permette di ricaricarla con il cavetto del cellulare o con un power bank, ma soprattutto ci libera dalla necessit di portarsi dietro l’apposito caricabatterie. Sono un amante del nero, ma devo dire che il colore piacevole e permette di riconoscerla subito fra le altre. Ottimo il piccolo coperchietto che aiuta a proteggere i contatti quando non la utilizziamo. Inutile fare test sulla durata perch tutto dipende da cosa ci andiamo ad alimentare, mentre per la ricarica da 0 a 100 (e ovviamente anche qui dipende dal caricatore che utilizziamo) ho impiegato circa 3 ore. Possiedo altri prodotti SmallRig e sono tutti di ottima qualit. Consigliata!

Una gran opcin, 100% compatible y fiable.

Io lo voluta testare per sostituire la mia vecchia batteria del faretto portatile ormai esausta. Perfettamente compatibile per i primi utilizzi non ho riscontrato problemi buona durata della batteria e velocit di ricarica (valuter nel tempo e aggiorner recensione). Unico difetto che e presente solo un led che pero non indica lo stato della batteria ma solo quando e in carica (rosso quando e in carica e verde quando la carica e terminata).
Mi e piaciuta e una buona batteria sostitutiva.
I’m conflicted about these. Took one as my main battery on a 2-week trip and the convenience of being able to recharge directly from USB-C was great: didn’t have to bother packing the charger and if I got caught out I could charge on the go with a standard power bank.
Unfortunately that happened all too often. It makes sense that including the charging bits in the case will compromise the capacity but in my Canon R6 I was lucky if it lasted a full day. Worse, the charge indicator was completely unreliable – I had it go from 75% charge to dead in less than an hour. Whether that’s the battery itself or the way the camera reads it I don’t know but obviously made management very difficult and you lose confidence when it’s showing anything less than full charge.
To be fair I’m new to mirrorless and need to learn some discipline around turning the camera off when not shooting (never an issue with my old DSLRs) so I can probably improve performance.
I will probably buy another couple because of the convenience, but with slightly gritted teeth. If you’re doing extended shooting or use wifi a lot you probably need at least two to have full confidence, but not having to bother with a charger is a godsend.
I normally stick to OEM batteries but decided to take a chance with this SMALLRIG battery for my R6 mike
and so far I have no regrets. It took approximately just over an hour to charge it out of the box using the original canon charger. (I haven’t tried charging via the supplied USB-C cable)
I checked the battery for overheating etc once it had charged and all was fine so no issues there.
My first trip out and I shot 475 images with my R6MKII and RF100 Macro. Camera settings were One Shot
Single Shooting Electronic 1st Curtain and the Camera switched on permanently for 3 hours. The battery showed 73% power remaining. The camera recognises the battery when you look in the battery info menu.
Time will tell how well the battery will perform etc but at 39.90 I am glad I have made the purchase and it is very well made and as with SMALLRIG the quality is very good (Even the Blue finish isn’t off putting)
If you are looking for an alternative to the OEM Canon LP-E6NH i can recommend this one.
