NAME: DOTTMON NP-F Series LCD Battery Charger PRICE: $16.00 (round up) MY OPINION: You wouldn't think there is much to say about the battery charger...but for me and only as last resort Over the months of reviewing Revain products, I have accumulated a fair amount of lighting systems that run on batteries. But with batteries comes the need for chargers. When it comes to chargers, not all have the same design. The most important characteristics of a good charger are "charge rate control" and "ability to monitor charge levels". The Dottmon charger has both. And the price is quite reasonable. You can see in my video my overview table includes three chargers; one for my A6400 camera (battery type NP-FW50 @ 1300 mAh) and two chargers for my lighting gear. While these three chargers are similar, they are also very different. Only Dottmon for the two major battery types has a voltage and current monitoring display, as well as an easy-to-read 5-icon display that shows the charging progress to full charge. And it also has the ability to charge at three different amperages. And again, unlike most cheap chargers, Dottman shows you both the real-time battery voltage level and the current/level while charging. A bad battery with an internal short circuit or high resistance will show a lower than normal battery voltage regardless of the charging time. And it can also display constant high or low current levels. The Dottmann display can therefore convey this detailed information. for your information. These large NP-F970 batteries are typically 8.4 volts. All in all, I'm a fan of this latest addition to my "powerbox" desk; Essential 5-star accessory.
