Power for photographers
Keep shooting. Know what to charge.
Choose your camera battery and the gear you take. We calculate the energy reserve, charging route and suitable portable-power options.
This planner shows no UK model or offer. The UK electrical baseline is 230 V at 50 Hz with Type G (BS 1363) sockets: confirm the exact mains variant, fused plug, supplied lead and the whole charging path separately, and check the charger, cable, plug and current rating individually. A UK model number, box contents, conformity, availability, delivery and warranty are not confirmed here.

What kind of shoot are you planning?
Start with the closest situation. You can change every number in the next step.
Step 2
Check what needs charging.
Counts are per day. We include charging loss and add a 20% reserve.
Are you also bringing a flash?
Charging a flash battery or using a studio flash: choose the right calculation.
Include a studio flashCalculate flashes, modelling light and duration of use
Enter your studio flash’s details. You can also choose an exact model in the device finder below.
Adjust losses and reserve
Enter your flash details for an estimate
Enter valid values for flash energy, flash count, modeling light and duration. Leave an unknown electrical peak blank.
Electrical peak still unknown: this energy calculation does not confirm that a power station can power your flash.
A cold or older battery can supply less energy.
Cold and battery ageing+
The estimate uses the battery data and calculation assumptions shown with this result. That is not a measurement of the battery’s current condition. Cold and battery ageing are not calculated separately.
Cold is not the same as wear. Cold can temporarily limit the available energy and the power that can be delivered. Ageing can permanently reduce the storage capacity, even when the screen shows ‘100% charged’.
Follow the temperature limits for charging and using from the manual of your model. Check important applications with your own setup.
More about our battery assumptionsThis separate calculation is not added to your charging plan automatically. Do not also count charging the same flash battery.

View the full energy calculation
Your shoot target
See suitable options ↓Plan at least 60Wh of stored energy.
That covers about 50Wh per day, charging loss and a 20% reserve.
Before the shoot
Test the whole charging chain once.
- Charge the camera battery through the exact field charger you will carry.
- Check whether several ports reduce each other’s charging speed.
- Keep one charged camera battery separate as an emergency reserve.
- Protect batteries from rain, direct sun and a hot parked car.
Battery values and calculation assumptions ＋
Sony publishes 16.4Wh for the NP-FZ100. Fujifilm publishes 16Wh for the NP-W235. Generic presets are editable planning values, not a claim about a specific product. Laptop, phone, drone and light values are conservative starting points and should be replaced with the exact label or manual when the shoot matters.
United Kingdom photography power planning
Build the load list
Count every battery, charger, laptop and light you will actually recharge on location, with their running and charging watts.
Reserve and charging order
Allow a practical reserve and a charging order for critical equipment, and keep the highest-power charges separated from the lowest.
United Kingdom execution
Verify the 230V/50Hz Type G version of any station, charger or light, and the exact model supplied in the UK before relying on it.
United Kingdom market status
The record above is shared technical content from the international edition, not proof of a United Kingdom retail offer. For the equipment planned with this tool, confirm the exact 230V/50Hz Type G execution, supplied mains lead and socket layout, model suffix, UK certification, warranty and local support before purchase. No UK price in pounds sterling, stock, retailer, warranty or affiliate offer is verified yet, and no buying link is active. Regional model, socket layout, supplied mains lead, local support and seller route must all be confirmed independently.
