    Some of the batteries have surprises:

    Thanks @polarko good to know that's out there if I ever need to do two at once and more quickly, though it's a bit pricey. My charger is definitely about three times as long, but again, I've never had one run out of juice so it's working for me, for now.

    I find this http://www.globalmediapro.com/dp/A02MZ3/Sony-AC-VQ1050D-Charger/

    This profesional Sony Charger takes 250min/310min full ( 5h15m! ) for one F970 battery! I think with this chinese chargers it will takes 2x 3x times more?!

  • polarkopolarko

    Thanks kellar42 for the information! I have the same chinese cinegearpro's charger but take forever to charge too..., could you tell me how many hours it takes to fully charge the battery F970?

    Thanks a lot!

    My knockoffs work great but take forever to charge on the charger that came with my CineGear GH2 power solution. The supposed 'original' that came with also looks like the Amazon knockoffs. Never turn my Gh2 off and never run out of power on a little LED light, but I do wish there was a speedcharger or something I could easily get my hands on. (In Panama.)

    Cheap F970 batteries can be quite funny inside, you can try to disassembly yours. Sometimes chinese put metal bolts inside :-) and small F550 like battery.

    My F970 has done the same thing. plugged in never charge continuous green light. but my F750's charge fine. i suspect dead battery or something has let go internally in the battery itself. have yet to try a new charger

    @Astro I'm having the exact same problem. I have the Lilliput 5D-II monitor, and the same thing is happening to me with the F970 and charger.

    I did not test them but try to find a Lenmar LIS970 replacement. This should work OK and has a working chip.

    Hi I bought one of the Feelworld Monitors and it included the F970 battery clone and portable charger. But the battery is no good, once the F970 battery ran out of charge, I could not re charge it. The little re charger "F970 Battery Charger for DSLR Monitor (For Traveling)" does not appear to work at all. As soon you plug the battery in the charger the little light goes green on the charger ... even before you plug the charger into the mains. Then I leave the charger plugged into the mains and charging the battery for 24 hours and the green light never goes off. Then when I connect the F970 battery to the monitor it cuts out after about 4 seconds, but if I connect the monitor to the mains again (bypassing) the battery, it works fine. Has anyone here got any suggestions? It seems the battery or the charger is no good...not sure which. I am writing to the seller as well.. But I am just wondering tho if anyone has had any similar experiences with these batteries and chargers? Cheers Astro

    I need to buy a couple of F950/F970 and two F750. There is plenty of them on ebay (germany). Any hints which ones are best? (I don't want to buy original Sony, its just to expensive for me.)

    The one I bought from an ebay shop in NJ came damaged. They refunded me right away. The other items I ordered form the store were fine. Have yet to order any others.

    Do these extra large batteries work in the Amaran 198 lights?

  • ManceMance

    Awaiting for your feedback. I just want to know whether the f750 battery is avaliable for 312 led light.

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev - Yes was looking on ebay.. just thought someone maybe had a specific seller from ebay that they bought batteries from that they are happy with, since it's kind of hit or miss.

    Thanks for the suggestion about the F750s. Once I pick some up, I'll report back here to share my findings.

    I am shure no one banned you on ebay.

    Just look for F950, F970. I really recommend F750, as it much more appropriate and not so huge. Just get any from normal large seller.
