Sony NP-F570 batterie replacement

[Tuhiva]

Hello,

 

I am looking for an equivalent of the sony NP-F570. I had three of them and I used them on my lectrosonics SRb (with the SRbattsled).  However they are starting to die one after another and Sony does seem to produce them anymore. I have looked on amazon for an equivalent NP batterie size but there are so many references and most of them are cheap chinese brand. Did anybody had good experience with those cheap chinese NP batterie.

 

Of course I could go with larger size NP batterie but the NP-F570 is the perfect size and weight for a "on camera" receiver.

hiya,

 

i was in the same situation - was a bit scared to buy cheap batteries for my 633 so i ordered some dedolight NP-F batteries as i figured they are a company which cares about quality...

 

it turned out that they use cheap chinese batteries and resold them for 4 times the price that the exact same batteries cost on amazon. i understand that they have higher wages and need to do some testing but the markup seemed rather excessive to me. so after that i just bought the cheapos directly. 

 

i have been using several different brands since and made some run tests, found that they all held up pretty much as advertised.

 

very happy with Troy and OTB on the cheap side, Axcom were ok too but i had some trouble with mounting them on one of my devices.

i also use Swit and IDX which are more expensive, the Swit aren't the best bag for buck with capacity but have extra features (charge indicator and additional power out) and the IDX are only available in the bigger form and cost a bit extra, but have really high capacity.

 

hope that gives some pointers

yes

I use the chinese knock-offs every day. I bought a dozen of them and have had no issues - other than not displaying info on a Sony charger.

Cheers,
