hähnel, the world leader in aftermarket batteries for cameras, has recently released some interesting and exciting new products as well as some important updates. There is a new battery for Nikon Z50 and Zfc cameras, updated batteries compatible with the latest Z cameras and new Sony video batteries.
HL-EL25 for Nikon
This new battery is interchangeable with EN-EL25 batteries for Nikon Z50 and Zfc mirrorless cameras. It’s more powerful than the OEM at 1,200mAh/9Wh and costs 30% less! More power, less money and fully compatible! This is the ideal battery for your Nikon camera.
HL-EL15 and HLX-EL15 Extreme for Nikon
hähnel has updated the firmware in their two most popular batteries for Nikon mirrorless and DSLR cameras. The latest firmware makes these batteries fully compatible with the Z5, Z6II and Z7II. If you have a Z5, Z6II or Z7II, look for date code ending in V5K or higher for HL-EL15 and V3K or higher for HLX-EL15 Extreme batteries. For all other Nikon cameras that require an EN-EL15 battery, you don’t have to worry – any of the batteries will work perfectly out of the box.
HL-UL100 Pro
The latest battery in the professional series of Sony L-Series compatible batteries, the HL-UL100 Pro takes the concept of a high-power video batter and makes it more functional. This 14.4v, 6,850mAh, 99Wh battery is more powerful than the comparable OEM battery but is over 33% less expensive.
hähnel understands the needs of professional videographers who need to power more than just their camera on set. The HL-UL100 Pro battery features two 70w D-TAP terminals on the back of the battery, so you can access both D-TAP ports while using the battery on camera. This reduces how many heavy batteries you need on your video rig.
There is also a USB Type A 5V 2.3A output on the back so you can charge or power any USB device, while still using the camera.
This battery is fully compatible with Sony Infosystem for real-time battery life info in camera and also features a battery gauge on the back.
HL-UL100 can be charged with any Sony-compatible L-type charger, such as the hähnel Trio charger, or via the D-TAP ports.
If you have to power Sony video cameras, or any monitors, LED lights or any other device that accepts L-series or D-TAP battery power, HL-UL100 will provide ample power for long shoots while powering multiple devices from one battery.
