    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  3 месяца назад +1

      Some say that using a third party charger with no center pin may affect battery life, but I’ve seen no evidence of this (could be true, though).
      But fast charging will Definitely impact battery life over time. Which is why my current favorite is the ISDT NP2 Air, as it has the third pin, and you can choose slow or fast charging.

      Usb quick chargers use negotiated voltages. If the device only wants 5V, it’ll only provide 5V.

    but, for travel, i use the Wasabi dual charger (similar with the Newmowa) due to size, and i usually charge it overnight, so 4 hours charging time doesn't really matter. and Z batteries are so good, that i find hard time to finish the whole battery in a day in my travel photography

    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  5 лет назад

      The third prong is only for carrying data from the chip inside the battery to the camera. For a charger it’s not really necessary. In theory the battery chip could be decoded by the charger and show a super precise charge level (% like the camera does), but no one does this.

    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  5 лет назад

      If you plugged a battery into the camera that only had the two prongs (which some super cheap aftermarket batteries do), the camera would show an error, and warn you that the battery is not to be trusted.

    I was using 3rd party batteries for several months now and got the warning and was allowed to continue to use them, but since yesterday with out doing any firmware updates, the camera says I cannot use the battery and then shuts down…? WTF. I should be able to risk breaking my camera or not. But now they are not working at all. Anybody else have this problem…??

    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  4 года назад

      Yep. This seems to happen when the third party battery gets older and doesn’t provide sufficient voltage for the cameras to be really sure of it anymore. When the Sony batteries are running a lower voltage, they have a communications and diagnostic chip inside the battery to convey the actual battery charge level and capacity to the camera. The third party batteries have no such information for the camera, so when it can’t easily confirm it’s going to work well, it will give a warning, when it looks like it’s not going to work well at all, it just shuts down to prevent corrupting your memory card in the case of a power failure during a write operation.

      @@WesPerry When you factor in what comes in the box, the package isn't that expensive even when purchased new. As a bonus, the main unit works as a multi-battery power supply via a W/Z dummy battery, powering the camera for long outdoor shooting. It also allows you to swap out flat batteries on-the-fly. UK had them listed for £380.00. Individual batteries sell for £80~110 each, price vary between authorized and 3rd party dealers.

    I wonder if some of the chargers got any protection against overcharging?

    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  3 года назад

      I think they all do. They completely shut down and stop drawing current when they feel the charging is complete. They’ll actually remain entirely inert from that point on. Even if the battery were to slowly dip down to a lower voltage after this point, it won’t start up again. It needs to be removed and reattached to resume charging. The Notecore chargers are especially finicky about this and sometimes need to be entirely unplugged and plugged back in before they’ll charge another battery (only sometimes, though). But I guess better safe than sorry?

    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  3 года назад

      That being said, each one seems to have a slightly different interpretation for what is fully charged. The Sony charger fills the batteries the fullest, while the dual ac charger in second place, and the others just barely hit 100% before shutting down (when you put the battery in your camera, especially if it’s an older battery, it will quickly dip to 98-99% when in use).

    Great VDO but you should have cleared the amp of the chargers, mine don't take 2 hrs to charge 2 batteries. AC chargers are not for travelers in my opinion and with 2 Amp and above can charge batteries pretty fast coz those USB chargers are dumb and they depends on the charger AMP to charge the batteries. Well I may be wrong but should have tried with different chargers like quick charge. Great Effort BTW and keep up.

    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  5 лет назад +1

      I measured amperage And wattage in my tests, but only talked about wattage in the video, as only one is really needed, and when one of them is powered from 120Vac, and another 8.4V quick charge, current isn’t a good metric to use, but wattage equalizes the results, as it accounts for both current And voltage.
      And I agree the AC charger isn’t that great for travel. I did say it was too big for that, and that the smaller USB chargers were a better idea.

    • @WesPerry
      @WesPerry  5 лет назад +1

      Additionally, I used a 2.4A/12W charger in my tests (iPad Pro 2nd gen) to see how much current each would draw at the standard usb 5V output. Only one (Nitecore) drew all 12W/2.4A, and that’s only with two batteries installed. The rest limited themselves to 10W/2A regardles.
      Similarly, the rest would only reach their max draw with two batteries installed, and even then the RAVPower only drew 1.8A/8W. Wouldn’t even take all it was given.

      @WesPerry  4 года назад +1

      Does this happen with any other lenses? I have to ask if this is adapted, and if your lens/adapter have the latest firmware update installed (as well as the camera). Sony sensors only have vertical phase detect autofocus points, so they're great at detecting vertical lines of differentiation, but not great at horizontal ones, so I've seen this behaviour before, although it's not entirely obvious why it would be happening in this case...usually you can tell that the subject has an obvious orientation that it would prefer when this happens, and then it falls back to contrast detect autofocus (the big box instead of the "dancing ants", as some call them, for phase detect AF).
