Q: 1. I shot with this charger for a full day in studio, and by the end of the day it said battery exhausted - that was with four batteries and the dummy battery plugged into the camera and the ac adapter plugged into a working outlet - shouldn't this in theory be left on for days and power the camera?

A: yeah, it is my understanding that it is not capable of charging while you are using the adapter, ie. it can't really be used as AC adapter. As always, depending on how intensively you are shooting. Full day does sound good, depends on usage.

Q: 2. Will the NPA-MQZ1K work on the Sony RX10 M3?

A: In the pictures of the product (above) the Z adapter can be slipped off and reveals a W size dummy battery. Check out YouTube and put in the product number. There is a good video by a Sony Artitsian named Patrick that gives a good overview.

Q: 3. Does this charger charge all 4 batteries at once or one at a time?

A: Hello. The NPA-MQZ1K is capable of charging up to four NP-FZ100 Z-series batteries at once. NP-FW50 W-series batteries cannot be charged with this battery adapter.

Q: 4. Can this power a camera while plugged in?

A: Yes it works as an AC adapter plus it will also charge four batteries.

Q: 5. I want to cut the hardwired dummy batter cord to make this more nimble (I saw that someone else did this and it didn't effect functionality). I'd like to then get a Z battery dummy to either USB or barrel as it seems like plugging that into one of the out ports woudl effectively be the same thing. Any reason others can see why this wouldn't work? (I'd get a barrel or USB rated to 15V just to allow for variance.

A: Unfortunately, I cannot speak to the performance of the Sony NPA-MQZ1K Multi Battery Adapter Kit if you cut the power cable. The connected cord is not designed to be cut, and cutting the cord would void the manufacturer's Limited 1-Year Warranty.

Q: 6. Your pictures only show a Z sized dummy battery. Can this unit be used with a W sized dummy battery in an A7S?

A: No, this can only be used with the Z dummy battery. For the A7s, the Sony AC Adapter for Select Sony Cameras B&H # SOACPW20 is recommended.

Q: 7. Why would I get one of these when the tether tools accessory is a quarter of the price and seems to do the same thing?

A: Different situations for different people with different needs. If you found a lower price alternative that works for you, then by all means do what's best for you.

Q: 8. How fast does this charge 4 batteries to full?

A: To fully charge 4 batteries from being dead, this would take 480 Minutes

Q: 9. Would it be possible to use this to power a camera while also powering a monitor, like the SmallHD 502? Would I need an LP-E6 dummy battery?

A: Not that we are aware of. This product is only able to power Sony Cameras that are powered by either an NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50 style battery.

Q: 10. Sony NPA-MQZ1K Multi Battery Adapter Kit - Will this adapter only work with the new batteries for A9?
