very nice working for my camera so far in my camping hiking trip

NP-FZ100 Batteries.
I can confirm these work well with Sony A7S III and A7C II cameras, absolutely no compatibility issues and the capacity matches the original OEM ones. Having shelled out almost £400 on six original Sony batteries (which are faultless by the way, just expensive) I thought I'd give these K&F ones a try, just to have a few backup batteries in my bag - and I'm happy to report they work very well...in fact I bought 4 of them. I took advantage of the special offer and got them for less than half the price of Sony ones, which makes it even better.
I initially thought the USB-C charging port was a but gimmicky but I have to admit when all your charger slots are occupied, being able to plug directly into a power bank or a V-Lock with USB port is pretty handy.
I will still go to my OEM Sony batteries first as they have proven reliability but these K&F batts are good enough to keep along side them on long shoot days.

I mean c'mon of course I was skeptical about the premise of these batteries but they work great! Charge holds very well though not quite as long as the Sony battery and the estimated shot counter will get a little weird, but it doesn't matter. The ability to pop the battery on a charging brick by itself is worth 10 batteries.

So far, they are in no way inferior to the original. Absolutely fabulous for the price.

Well recognized by camera (A1), charging directly via USB in the battery itself is very convenient

I just tested with my A7 IV firmware versions 3.0 and 4.0. No warning.
So far so good.
So far so good.

The downside: they last slightly less than the originals.
At least in my camera (a7 CII) it hasn't given me an error even once. They are charged either with their own USB-C or with a charger. This makes them super comfortable and very practical to carry.

Love that I do not need to bring the charger a long with me. 1. They last a long time have never gone dead on me. 2. Can charge them with USB C cable if out and about.

I recently bought the K&F NP-FZ100 batteries capable of charging directly via a USB-C port.
There are 2 main reasons why I chose these:
1. The price tag is considerably lower than for the original Sony NP-FZ100 batteries.
2. They can be charged directly via the USB-C port, so no extra charger is required.
I am out often photographing wildlife and carrying around my camera equipment in a backpack. Sometimes I do so over multiple days or on long hikes so weight is something I consider crucial, especially when carrying around a few heavy lenses in addition to hiking equipment, etc.
Charging the batteries directly via USB-C allows me to leave the charger at home. Admittedly, these are not heavy, but everyone who goes hiking will know that stuff adds up pretty quickly :D
Also, hooking up 4 of these batteries to a 4-Connector USB-C cable makes charging easy and fast enough over night to start off with a full set of batteries the next day.
I am very happy with the performance of these batteries so far. On my Sony a6700 they last basically as long as does the original battery.
So given the lower price tag compared to the original Sony battery and the more convenient charging, I recommend these batteries without hesitation!
