NEEWER NW-ZP4 2-in-1 Four-Channel USB Battery Charger for NP-FZ100 & LP-E6 Series

What it is

The NEEWER NW-ZP4 is a four-channel battery charger designed to power up multiple NP-FZ100 and LP-E6 series batteries simultaneously. It’s pitched as a practical back-up power accessory for photographers and vloggers who rely on a steady supply of charged cells during extended shoots.

Who it’s for

If you’re shooting with Canon EOS R5 series or Sony Alpha bodies listed in the spec and you regularly run through batteries on location, this charger aims to keep you moving without frequent trips to a wall socket. It suits content creators, event shooters, and travel vloggers who need flexible charging while out and about.

What stands out on paper

The NW-ZP4 supports charging up to four batteries at once, which helps minimise downtime between takes during long sessions. It uses USB-C input and ships with a PD 45W fast charger and a USB-C to USB-C cable, enabling relatively quick restoration of power. The claim of 40W fast charging across the four slots implies a reasonable pace for spare cells, subject to battery capacity and health.

Practical use cases

1) In-studio shoots with multiple cameras or bodies where swapping batteries is routine. 2) On-location vlogging or documentary work where switching to a spare pack can save time between scenes. 3) Travel shoots where outlets are limited and you rely on USB power banks or car chargers to top up batteries.

Pros

• Four slots allow simultaneous charging, reducing downtime.
• USB-C input enables flexible powering options (power bank, USB-C charger, laptop).
• Includes a PD 45W fast charger for quicker power restoration than basic 5V USB charging.
• Built-in protection aims to guard against overcharge, short circuits and overheating.

Cons and caveats

• Real-world charging speed depends on battery capacity (e.g., 2400mAh NP-FZ100) and the charger’s distribution across four slots. Expect similar performance to other multi-slot USB chargers, but it may not fully maximise speed for every battery type.
• The exact compatibility list spans Canon and Sony models, while many cameras are covered, some newer or older bodies not explicitly named may not be supported. If you’re using a rare LP variant, it’s worth double-checking before purchase.
• It’s primarily a charging accessory, not a power bank or on-the-go induction solution. You’ll still need a source of USB power.

What to check before you buy

• Confirm you’ll be charging only NP-FZ100 or LP-E6 series batteries in the four slots.
• Assess your typical shoot length to decide if four-battery capacity matches your needs.
• Consider your usual power sources (USB-C charger, power bank, car charger) since the input is USB-C.

How it compares to simpler options

If your workflow is lower volume or single-camera, a smaller, single-slot charger might be simpler and cheaper. For multi-camera setups or on-the-move work, the NW-ZP4 offers a practical balance between capacity and convenience, with the advantage of USB-C input for diverse power sources.

Final thoughts

For creators who depend on uninterrupted power during longer sessions and travel, the NW-ZP4 provides a pragmatic approach to keeping batteries ready. It may not replace all-in-one power solutions, but it is a sensible addition when you regularly juggle several charged packs.

Is it worth it?

Worth considering if you need to keep multiple NP-FZ100 or LP-E6 batteries topped up at once and you already lean on USB-C powered charging. If your kit relies on a few batteries with frequent need for recharging, this four-channel charger can reduce downtime and simplify on-location power management.

FAQ

• Will it charge any LP‑E6 variant? The product mentions LP‑E6, LP‑E6N, LP‑E6NH, LP‑E6P batteries, verify compatibility with your exact variant before purchase.
• Does it come with a wall adapter? Yes, it includes a PD 45W fast charger.
• Can I use it with a power bank? Since it uses USB‑C input, using a capable USB-C power bank is feasible, subject to the bank’s output.
