From today you can now buy the Sony equivalent to the BP-U84 the DSM-U84 which is not only a better battery but costs a lot less than a Sony original.
Note : You must specify if you are using a Sony FS7 when purchasing these batteries as the older U84 won’t work.
The DSM U-84 battery is rated at 84Wh and is the same size as an original BPU-60 which is rated at 55Wh. But feedback from people using the battery, say it powers their camera longer than a Sony BP-U90 that is rated at 85Wh.
This is a new over night charger and takes about 9-10 hours to fully charge 2 DSM BPU-84 batteries.
