Whenever I need to buy new kit this is the place to go. Wendy and her team have excellent knowledge of the equipment they supply, access to information from manufacturers about the kit and an attitude to genuine customer service that is not often found in today's globalised corporate world. I have dealt with all the main UK broadcast suppliers and buying from Wendy's is by far the best experience.
Sony L series Replacement battery
S-8970 is the replacement battery for SONY NP-F970, compatible with SONY HVR-V1/Z1/Z7, DSR-PD190, HD1000E, etc. S-8970 can exchange digital info with the cameras, and display remaining power info on the camera viewfinder.
47Wh / 6.6Ah High Capacity
With 7.2V nominal voltage, the S-8970 has 47Wh / 6.6Ah capacity, and can run approx 5.5 hours on SONY HVR-Z1 camcorder when LCD monitor is on.
The S-8970 can be charged on SWIT Dual channel charger S-3602F and SONY original charger. It takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to charge from empty to 100%.
Over more than 15 years, SWIT has been leading brand of broadcast camera batteries. The first reason is the high quality Lithium cells we adopted.
The high quality cells featured long life, durable, safety, and most of all, the cells has very little difference to each other, which ensures the high performance of the whole battery pack.
Moreover, the cells we’re using, have a smooth discharging curve by voltage, so that you can judge the remaining running time accordingly. Also when in storage, the self-discharging rates are very little, that extends the battery life effectively.
The battery has an MCU to measure and record the real time data, and will cut off power when over-voltage, under-voltage, over-
current, high-temperature of low-temperature is detected.
Meanwhile, the battery housing adopts high-impact ABS material, with waist design and non-slip tread for secure handling.
After the batteries are used for a period of time, the cells voltage might get difference, and our specially designed circuit can optimize
