Quick Answer
The FJ80-SE Battery and Charger Kit includes the FJ80-SE rechargeable battery and its dedicated charger. This setup is designed specifically for FJ80-SE speedlights, providing over 550 full-power flashes per charge and a quick recharge time of about 3 hours.
What's in the Box?
The FJ80-SE Battery and Charger Kit comes with two main components: the FJ80-SE Battery (product #4662) and the FJ80-SE Battery Charger. The battery is a rechargeable 7.4V, 2500mAh unit that delivers 18.5Wh of power. It's compact and lightweight at just 0.25 lbs. The charger is designed to recharge the battery in 3 hours or less and works with a wide input range of 100-240V AC, making it suitable for international use. Note that the charger includes a cord, but you may need to select the correct power region option for your location.
How Does It Compare to the NP-F Battery Grip?
The NP-F Battery Grip (product #1867403) is a different power solution designed for Westcott's L60-B and U60-B LED lights, not for FJ80-SE speedlights. It includes two NP-F970 6600mAh L-Series batteries and a dual charger. The dual charger offers multiple protection features and can be powered via USB (requires 2.1A minimum). If you use both FJ80-SE speedlights and L60-B or U60-B lights, you'll need separate power solutions for each system.
Battery Life and Charging Cycles
The FJ80-SE battery provides over 550 full-power flashes per charge, which is ample for most studio or on-location sessions. It supports more than 200 charge cycles before its capacity starts to degrade. The charger's 3-hour recharge time means you can quickly swap batteries and keep shooting without long downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the FJ80-SE Battery Charger work with other batteries?
No, the charger is specifically designed for the FJ80-SE Battery (#4662). It has an 8.4V charge voltage and is not compatible with other battery types, including NP-F series batteries used in the L60-B or U60-B lights. Always use the dedicated charger for your battery model to avoid damage.
Can I use the NP-F Battery Grip with my FJ80-SE speedlight?
No, the NP-F Battery Grip is designed for Westcott L60-B and U60-B LED lights. The FJ80-SE speedlight uses its own proprietary battery and charger system. Check your light's power requirements before purchasing a battery grip.
How long does the FJ80-SE battery last on a single charge?
The battery provides over 550 full-power flashes per charge. Actual number depends on flash power settings and usage patterns. It supports more than 200 charge cycles before noticeable capacity loss. For extended shoots, consider having a spare FJ80-SE battery on hand.
Is the FJ80-SE Battery Charger compatible with international power outlets?
Yes, the charger accepts 100-240V AC input at 50-60Hz, so it works worldwide. However, you may need to select the correct power region option when purchasing to ensure the plug type matches your location. Check the power region option when ordering to get the correct plug.
