SWIT S-8972 47Wh Sony L-Series Battery with DC Output

The SWIT S-8972 47Wh Sony L-Series battery provides rechargeable 7.2V power for compatible cameras and production accessories. Its built-in DC output can power select equipment alongside a camera, while the four-level LED gauge lets operators check the remaining capacity before mounting the battery.

Designed as a replacement for Sony NP-F770, NP-F950, NP-F960, and NP-F970 batteries, the S-8972 suits field cameras, video monitors, wireless transmitters, and on-camera lighting with compatible battery plates. The 47Wh capacity balances useful runtime with a compact form factor, making it a practical Sony L-Series battery for mobile video production.

Digital communication displays remaining power information through supported camera viewfinders. An intelligent internal circuit provides protection against abnormal current, voltage, and temperature conditions. The battery supports selected Sony HVR, DSR, NEX, NXR, HXR, and PXW cameras, Z CAM E2-series models, and other devices equipped with a compatible Sony BP-F plate.
