IDX System Technology SB-U98-PD Sony BP-U Battery

The IDX System Technology SB-U98-PD Sony BP-U Battery is a 14.4V lithium-ion power pack built for professional Sony BP-U camera systems, with 96Wh / 6.6Ah capacity, a D-Tap accessory output, and a bidirectional USB-C Power Delivery port. It supports camera power, accessory power, and USB-C charging in one compact field battery.

This battery suits ENG, documentary, event, and location-production crews that need a high-capacity Sony BP-U battery with flexible accessory power. The 70W main and D-Tap output can support compatible camera rigs, while USB-C PD delivers up to 45W for supported devices. A four-LED gauge provides at-a-glance remaining-capacity monitoring during shoots.

Compatibility includes Sony PXW-FX9, PXW-FX6, FS7, FS5, and additional PXW/PMW-series cameras using the BP-U interface. Protection circuitry guards against overcharge, overdischarge, and overcurrent conditions, while the battery has passed UN 38.3 transport testing. USB-C PD charging can replenish the pack at up to 45W, with an approximate 170-minute charge time using a suitable PD charger.
