Watson Duo LCD Charger (Charger Only)
SKU
Price range: $5 through $67
Dual-channel LCD charger for Sony NP-F batteries. Charges two simultaneously. Batteries NOT included.
Description
The Watson Duo LCD Charger is a dual-slot NP-F series battery charger that charges two batteries simultaneously, with an LCD display showing individual charge status and percentage for each slot. Compatible with the full NP-F family — NP-F550, NP-F570, NP-F750, NP-F770, NP-F960, and NP-F970 — and ships with NP-F battery plates installed. Charger only — batteries are not included.
NP-F batteries are the standard power source for on-camera monitors, follow focus rigs, wireless transmission systems, LED lights, and other battery-powered production accessories. If you’re renting NP-F batteries from Gear Locker or running your own NP-F-powered gear, this dual charger lets you keep two batteries cycling at once — essential during longer shoots where you need continuous power without a full charge break.

NP-F Charger Rental Tips
This rental covers the charger with NP-F plates installed — batteries are separate. If you need NP-F batteries, ask about availability at pickup. Common NP-F sizes in production are the NP-F770 (medium) and NP-F970 (large), with capacity ranging from ~2800 mAh to ~10,000 mAh.
You can insert batteries of different capacities at the same time. Slot 1 and Slot 2 charge at their own rate based on what’s inserted — a low NP-F550 and a depleted NP-F970 will finish at different times, and that’s fine. The LCD tracks each independently.
With two NP-F batteries and this dual charger, you can run a continuous rotation: one battery powers your monitor, light, or wireless system on set while the other tops up in the charger. Swap when the first is depleted, then charge that one. No downtime waiting for a full charge.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are batteries included with the charger rental?
No. The rental is for the charger only, with NP-F battery plates installed. Batteries are not included. Ask at pickup if you need NP-F batteries added to your order.
Which NP-F battery sizes does it charge?
The Watson Duo LCD Charger is compatible with the complete NP-F series: NP-F550, NP-Fu70, NP-F750, NP-F770, NP-F960, and NP-F970. All sizes fit the same plate and charge correctly.
Can I charge two different NP-F sizes at the same time?
Yes. Each slot operates independently. You can charge an NP-Fu50 in one slot and an NP-F970 in the other without any issue. Each will reach full charge at its own rate based on current battery level and capacity.
What does the LCD display show?
The LCD shows charge percentage and status for each slot independently. You can see at a glance whether a battery is charging, fully charged, or if an error is detected — without having to wait and guess.
What gear commonly uses NP-F batteries?
NP-F is the most common battery format in professional production accessories: on-camera monitors (SmallHD, Atomos), LED panels (many Aputure, Godox, and Nanlite fixtures), wireless follow focus rigs, video transmitters, and numerous camera-top accessories. If your gear has a side-mount battery slot, it’s likely NP-F.
