This is the best third-party battery option I’ve come across. It offers reliable performance and durability, making it a standout choice among alternatives. Highly recommended for those seeking a quality third-party battery.
These NPF970 batteries are excellent value, they aren’t the cheapest but they’re also not the most expensive and I’ve read lots of positive articles about PowerExtra batteries and my experience mirrors that.
I ran an Amaran 60D (LED COB) and an Amaran P60X (LED Panel) both at 80% brightness at 5600K and each light was powered constantly for over an hour before the battery discharged. (the 60D ran for 1hr 15 minutes, the P60X ran for 1 hr 24 minutes). These are quite power hungry lights so this is pretty impressive, I’ve known others use smaller batteries and not even get 30 minutes of power!
The batteries take a while to charge (all 4 batteries in the charger takes about 8 -10 hours), the charger got very warm but more so than any other I’ve used and as soon as the batteries were charged it went cold. The charger has an LCD screen which shows the charging status of the batteries and it feels well built.
These are large batteries but there’s no way of getting around that, NPF970 batteries are indeed big batteries! These feel well constructed, they don’t seem to get hot and they fit well on the charger and into the battery plates of my lights. I have no complaints at all and will definitely getting more PowerExtra batteries in future.
The batteries come in 2 boxes of 2, I would recommend keeping the boxes as the batteries fit into them snuggly and it make it easy to carry them around in your kit bag.
