Pikepike 0 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 So it seems like one could use the older BC-51 charger : https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1087580-REG/sigma_d00048_bc_51_battery_charger.html Or the newer https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1087580-REG/sigma_d00048_bc_51_battery_charger.html I'm even tempted to consider this non-sigma version: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/837620-REG/watson_c_3623_compact_charger_f_pana_dmwblc12.html What's better about the Sigma BC-71? Is it faster? One immediate advantage I considered is that maybe it could potentially charge from a USB power bank? Additionally, I'd love to hear about other ways people here like to power their Sigma FP. Seems like the simplest way is just to buy a bunch of batteries since they aren't super expensive. I realize you can't use a USB while also recording to SSD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No issues so far. The battery drains as fast as the original sigma ones from the box ( < 1 hour ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still always worried about non Oem batteries but if you say you've had no issues that's good to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
