Neewer NP-FZ100 2280mAh Replacement Battery and Charger with LCD (2-Pack) for Sony ZV-E1, FX3, A7 & more

If you’re juggling long shoots, travel days, or just want less downtime between clips, having spare power matters. The Neewer NP-FZ100 2280mAh Replacement Battery and Charger with LCD screen (2-pack) is built around that idea: keep your Sony NP-FZ100 workflow moving, with a charger that doesn’t leave you guessing what’s going on.

That said, it’s not a perfect swap-in for every situation. A couple of quirks around on-screen battery level display (on certain Sony bodies after firmware updates) are worth knowing before you buy.

The essentials

This kit pairs replacement NP-FZ100 Li-ion batteries with a charging solution that includes an LCD screen for charging and power status. In practice, that means you can check progress at a glance rather than relying purely on a charger light.

It’s also positioned as more than “just spare batteries”: the description highlights the ability to recharge both batteries together via a micro-USB 5V/2.1A input, which can be handy if you’re packing light or planning to top up during the day.

What’s included and how the charging works

Neewer bundles two batteries (7.2V, 2280mAh rechargeable Li-ion, premium cell mentioned) and a charger with LCD. The charger is designed around multiple charging options, so you’re not limited to one wall adapter.

Based on the provided details, charging can be done using a USB wall charger, cellphone charger, car charger, laptop, or power bank. There’s also mention of charging inside the camera, or charging with an input charger specified as 2.1A for optimal charging.

A useful real-world scenario: you finish a session, throw the two batteries into the charger, plug it into a portable power bank, and you can see status on the LCD without opening menus or checking camera indicators.

Compatibility and the one limitation to watch

On paper, this is 100% compatible with Sony NP-FZ100 Li-on batteries. The listed camera compatibility includes Sony A1, A9, A9 II, A7R III, A7R IV, A7R V, A7S III, A7 III, A7 IV, A6600 and A7C.

It also lists support for certain grips (VG-C3EM and VG-C4EM) with those cameras.

The limitation is specific: when cameras like FX3, FX30, A7C II, A7CR and ZV-E1 are updated to the latest firmware, the battery can still power the camera, but the battery level may not be displayed on the screen. If you rely heavily on accurate on-screen percentage/remaining time, that’s the sort of thing to consider.

Safety system and charging behaviour

Charging speed is described as “quick charge” and the charger includes an intelligent protection system with multiple circuit protections (overcharging, high temperature, over current, over voltage, and short circuit protection are all mentioned).

One note on battery longevity: the instructions say to fully charge the battery before first use. That’s pretty standard advice for rechargeable Li-ion packs, but it’s still worth following if you want the best long-term performance.

Also, charging efficiency is stated as being determined by input current and voltage. In other words, the “how fast will it charge for me?” answer can vary depending on what power source you plug into.

What you’ll notice day to day

The LCD screen is the standout practical touch. It’s there to show charging and power status clearly, which tends to reduce the guesswork when you’re prepping for a shoot or charging in a hotel room.

The two-pack setup also makes the kit feel more complete than a single spare. If you routinely burn through batteries on video-heavy days (or just want a buffer), having a second pack in rotation is often where the value comes from.

Still, this is a mid-content solution rather than a “fully premium, everything-perfect” one—mainly because the battery level display limitation on some Sony bodies can be annoying if that info is part of your workflow.

Mini FAQ

Is this compatible with Sony NP-FZ100 batteries only?

The description states it’s 100% compatible with Sony NP-FZ100 Li-on batteries, and it lists multiple Sony camera models that use the NP-FZ100 pack.

Does the charger charge both batteries at the same time?

Yes, the provided details say it can simultaneously recharge both batteries using the micro-USB 5V/2.1A input.

Can I charge using a power bank or car charger?

The charging options listed include USB wall chargers, cellphone chargers, car chargers, laptops, and power banks.

Will battery level show on-screen on all supported Sony cameras?

Not necessarily. For certain models (FX3, FX30, A7C II, A7CR and ZV-E1) after latest firmware updates, the battery level display may not show, even though the camera can still be powered.

When it makes sense

If you want a straightforward backup solution with an LCD charger and a two-battery buffer for Sony cameras that use NP-FZ100, this kit is easy to justify—especially for travel, outdoor sessions, or any day where having spare power on hand reduces stress.

It may not be the best choice if on-screen battery level is critical for how you shoot (particularly on the models mentioned where the display may not update after firmware updates). In those cases, it’s worth double-checking your camera behaviour with replacement NP-FZ100 packs before relying on it.

It suits you best if you’re comfortable using the LCD status (and/or other indicators) instead of expecting the camera to always show accurate battery percentage. It’s less ideal if you want everything to look identical to the original battery experience—menus, percentages, and all.
