About the Product

The SONY BC-ZD1 is a premium battery charger that leverages USB Power Delivery technology to deliver power efficiently. This allows it to charge two batteries simultaneously much faster than standard chargers. It is a robust and reliable tool for photographers and videographers who need consistent power access, especially when facing tight schedules while sightseeing across Japan.

This charger is an optional item available only to customers renting a compatible SONY camera from us. To achieve the fastest dual charging speeds, it requires a power supply with an output of 30 Watts or more, which we conveniently include with this rental.

Faqs:

Is the battery included with the rental of the BC-ZD1 charger?

No, the rental is for the SONY BC-ZD1 charger unit only. The NP-FZ100 batteries themselves are not included, as those are typically rented separately with your compatible SONY camera body.

What kind of power source do I need to use this charger?

This charger requires a USB Power Delivery (USB PD) compatible power supply. To ensure fast charging, we include a 30W USB-C AC adapter and cable with your rental. This is necessary to achieve the rapid charging times for two batteries simultaneously.

How quickly can this charger fully charge my NP-FZ100 batteries?

When utilizing the included 30W USB-C adapter and cable, the charger can fully replenish two depleted NP-FZ100 batteries in approximately 155 minutes, which is just over two and a half hours, making it highly efficient for travel.

Can I rent this charger if I did not rent a camera from your store?

No, this product is listed as an optional rental item that is only available to customers who have an active rental of a compatible SONY camera model from our store. This ensures product availability for our primary camera rental clients.

Why do I need a 30W power supply for dual charging?

The high capacity of the NP-FZ100 batteries and the simultaneous charging of two units requires a substantial power input. A 30W or greater USB PD power supply is needed to provide enough energy to maximize the charger’s speed and efficiency for both batteries at once.
