SmallRig has announced a new USB-C Camera Battery for Sony NP-F970 Extreme Cold Endurance. The battery was engineered to discharge at temperatures as low as -40°C, without the need for external heating solutions. This is handy, especially if you are working in very cold conditions.
Key features
- Beyond standard cold resistance – Instant start without delay
- 7500mAh power from the first shot to the last
- 2-Hour Power-Up via 36W USB-C PD
The battery features both USB-C (input/output) and USB-A (output) ports, allowing the unit to charge external devices like smartphones and tablets.
The USB-C port supports 36W PD input, enabling a full recharge of the battery in 2 hours.
The USB-A and USB-C output circuits operate independently, allowing simultaneous fast charging of two devices (total combined output not to exceed 54W).
SmallRig states that it utilizes high-quality battery cells and an integrated intelligent management system with comprehensive circuit protection for enhanced safety and long-term durability.
That battery is equipped with touch buttons and an OLED screen display for real-time monitoring of remaining battery percentage.
What you need to keep in mind is that while the battery may be able to operate as low as -40°C, a lot of cameras and equipment won’t work at those temperatures.
Pricing & Availability
The SmallRig USB-C Camera Battery for Sony NP-F970 Extreme Cold Endurance is now available to pre-order for $99.99 USD. Orders are expected to start shipping on February 25th.
