Action camera battery charger case, docks and power

Action camera battery charger cases

A charging case does two jobs: it keeps a set of cells together and it fills them while you sleep. The usual failure on a trip is not a flat battery — it is three batteries in three pockets and no way of knowing which one is which.

Our action camera battery charger case is designed around the cells, not the camera body. Battery charging runs slot by slot from one power input, so a personal kit of three or four spares comes back full and stays in one case.

Slots, not stacks

Every cell goes in a slot of its own. Stacked cells heat each other, and heat kills a battery long before the cycle count does.

Overnight turnaround

The point of a charging dock is to leave it. Plug in once and have a full set in the morning — battery charging designed to stay cool, with the power brick left at home.

Headsets and controllers

The same logic covers the headset docks: a stand that parks a visor and both controllers on contacts, charged and in one place.

Drone stations

A drone station cycles flight batteries one after another rather than all at once — slower, and much kinder to the cells.

Does a battery case actually charge?

Ours do: contacts in each slot and one input on the housing. A plain storage case only carries cells, and each page here says which it is.

Charging without the original charger

A multi-slot dock replaces the brick from the box and is usually faster, because it fills a whole set at once.

Before you buy

Check the cell, not the camera. One body can ship two different battery shapes across its generations, and a dock is cut to the shape.

Questions about this shelf

How many patterns are on this shelf?

14 at the moment, in several sizes. The count moves as we draw new patterns and retire old moulds — we do not keep a listing alive once the mould is gone.

How do I narrow it down to my machine?

Use the row of makes above the grid. Each one filters the shelf to cases that were measured against that make, which is faster than reading titles and more reliable than matching a diagonal.

Are two cases with the same size the same case?

Usually not. Where two entries share a number they were drawn around different machines — the inch figure is the screen, and the pattern is the body.

What if nothing here fits?

Write to us with the exact model name. We will tell you which pattern comes closest, or that we have not drawn one, which is an answer we give more often than you would expect.
