Sony 7.2V Battery Guide: NP-FZ100, USB-C & Firmware Tips

I have synthesized a comprehensive market and product insight report regarding Sony 7.2V batteries.

The report highlights that the market is projected to reach $804.51 million by 2026, with a clear shift toward USB-C integrated charging and high-capacity NP-FZ100 models for modern mirrorless cameras like the a7 IV and FX3. Key trends include the rise of fully decoded chips to bypass Sony's stricter firmware authentication and the transformation of NP-F series video batteries into "smart" power banks with D-Tap and Power Delivery ports.

The attached report provides detailed analysis of:
