They're small, rechargeable, and quick to swap when one gets empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, the problem with Li-ion batteries is the fact that with time, they start to degrade. A two-year-old battery will last much less than a new battery. Also, with smaller batteries their capacity out of the box isn't huge either, so one needs to have a few as a backup when doing longer shoots or going traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it can become quite a challenge to keep track of which batteries are charged and which ones are empty when you have a bunch of them, they all look the same and some are only half-working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's why I decided to make a quick and simple camera battery organizer. This project will focus on making a station for the Sony NP-FW50 batteries. But the same concept could be used with any camera brand, you'll just have to make your own 3D model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI printed the base with white filament, to make it easier to see which slots are filled at a glance. The housing for the switch was printed in black to match the charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made a short video about this project too: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure class=\"media\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Cm6mmZtUVYY\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cm6mmZtUVYY\" style=\"position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by Handy Bear on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67408896164144,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_b252a1f9-5df7-4f1b-9b58-267d7ccbb98d.png?v=1785233633","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/sony-alpha-6xxx-series-np-fw50-camera-battery-charging-station","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
