Nitecore UFZ100 Camera Battery with Built-in USB Port

The Nitecore UFZ100 battery wants to replace the Sony NP-FZ100 by integrating a USB-C port for the most practical charging.

Compared to their counterparts built into our smartphones, our camera batteries don’t really claim to be truly innovative, and many of the models in today’s models have been around for years, even decades. This is changing today, so to speak, with a new link signed by Nitecore.

Nitecore UFZ100 battery wants to replace Sony NP-FZ100

The Nitecore UFZ100 battery is a 2250mAh battery designed to replace the Sony NP-FZ100 2280mAh battery. It has a built-in USB-C connector and a three-level LED charging indicator.

Many users should find these features very handy, especially casual users who need a battery or two. For example, if you are used to doing photo shoots or video recordings with one battery, it will be very useful in your daily life.

by integrating a USB-C port for convenient charging

Users who need more batteries and are already shooting a lot of photos/videos may prefer the classic multi-battery charger. The disadvantage of these chargers is that they quickly take up space in the bag. They also often use proprietary connectors, which is a real problem if the charger is lost or unavailable at a critical moment.

With the option offered today by Nitecore, you can charge directly via USB-C without worrying about anything. However, one would hope that the port in question would be placed at the bottom of the battery, closer to the outside, and not “on the belly”. In this way, it would be possible to keep the battery connected and therefore recharge during the longest sessions, such as streaming on the Internet, for example. To do this, you still have to invest in the good old classic battery.

It is also important to consider the fact that this battery is slightly smaller in capacity than Sony’s (only 30 mAh, or 2.2%). This is explained by the internal space that the USB-C port occupies. However, this is quite acceptable in relation to the gain obtained.
