🔍 Product Overview

The Sony BC‑QZ1 is the first‑party upright dock charger for the NP‑FZ100 battery used across Sony’s full‑frame and high‑end APS‑C mirrorless lineup. It runs on 100–240 VAC through the included AC cord, delivers a controlled constant‑current charge, and finishes a depleted NP‑FZ100 in ~150 minutes (vs. slower in‑camera USB‑C trickle). Three front LEDs show rough charge level; the unit talks to the battery’s smart chip for safe termination and over‑charge protection. It lets shooters charge a second/third battery on the desk while the camera stays live on the first.

✨ Key Features

⚡ Off‑Body Fast(er) Charge

~150 min 0→100% on a fully drained NP‑FZ100 at 25 °C (vs. 180+ min claimed by some resellers; Sony official figure is 150 min).

Frees the camera body — no occupied USB port, no body heat during charge.

💡 3‑LED Charge Status

Orange CHARGE lamp + segmented status LEDs.

LED bar shows roughly 0–30 / 30–60 / 60–90% steps.

CHARGE lamp goes out at ~90%, then continues trickle for ~final 10%; all LEDs dark = done.

💡 LED off at 90% is normal Sony behavior, not a fault — wait the extra ~15–20 min for true full.

🔌 Global AC Input

100–240 V / 50–60 Hz, no separate adapter brick needed.

Plug AC cord into charger back, plug into wall, drop battery in.

🛡️ Smart & Safe

Talks to NP‑FZ100 fuel gauge chip (InfoLITHIUM).

Constant‑current → constant‑voltage taper, auto‑cut at full.

Over‑charge / over‑temp / reverse‑insertion protected.

🎒 Field Workflow

Weighs ~125 g, footprint 70×33×95 mm — toss in cube pouch with 2–3 spare FZ100s.

Standard kit for wedding / event / wildlife轮换.

⚙️ Technical Specifications

💡 Usage Tips

Charge at 10–30 °C ambient; cold/hot rooms slow the taper dramatically.

Keep battery contacts clean; slide in until it clicks, ▲ mark aligned.

For multi‑day shoots: run 3 batteries — 1 in body, 1 in BC‑QZ1, 1 cooling in bag.

A travel adapter is required for EU / UK sockets.

⚠️ Important Notes

🔴 LED out at ~90% is by design, not “broken charger”.

🔴 Not for NP‑FW50 / A7 II / A6500 older bodies — wrong terminal.
