Kastar 1-Pack BP-U30 Replacement Battery

I have been using this for almost a year now, and I am super happy with them. They hold charge well, last long and one can always check the battery status.

This battery fits perfectly with our Kinefinity Mavo Lf 6k. Weighs comparable to the Sony l-series batteries

Okay battery

Hello! I have a sony bp-u30 and a sony bc-u1a charger. This replacement battery will not charge. Also one of the connecter coils looks burnt. Everyone else says theirs works, im wondering if i just got a defective battery

Don't kill me for saying this but now I prefer having these batteries than the signature ones, it costs less and it works just fine!

These batteries don't last nearly as long as the Sony originals. They are reliable for a couple hours if you need a backup. They do have working charge indicators, the camera recognizes them and I haven't had any power issues yet. With the price difference between these and Sony, I'd say they are priced correctly. I am happy I ordered this battery because I needed a cheap backup right away, but I won't depend on it forever.

The Kastar Battery Replacement for Sony BP-U30 BP-U60 BP-U90 offers a dependable and cost-effective solution for powering a wide range of Sony camcorders. Compatible with popular models such as the PXW-FS7, PXW-FX9, and PMW-EX1, this battery ensures extended shooting sessions without frequent recharges. The capacity of the BP-U90 replacement provides a notable increase in operational time, making it ideal for long shoots and on-the-go filming. While the battery excels in performance and runtime, it's worth noting that its build quality is slightly less robust compared to the original Sony batteries. The Kastar replacement may not offer the same durability under extreme conditions, but for everyday use, it delivers excellent value. Overall, this replacement battery is a solid choice for professionals needing reliable power at a budget-friendly price.

I can't complain. I had this for a while but kept it off to the side because I was waiting for my Pyxis to arrive. I finally got to put it to use about a week ago and it's a decent battery for its size and output. I get about 45 minutes on the Pyxis but this is also a low wattage power battery. So far, no weird surging, power spikes, no burning, smells, or anything that shows signs of being defective or unreliable. I would recommend for cameras that have a lower power consumption like perhaps the Sony cameras but nothing like the BM camera lineup if that's what you were thinking about getting this for. But if you're a sony user, you should be pretty good. Be sure to get a charger as well because these are not compatible with NPF battery chargers.
