The NP-F960 covers 10 bodies, from the HDR-FX1 to the Sliders; the most common buying mistake is not capacity but boundary cases such as α7 / α9 → NP-FZ100 / F750. The table below lists every compatible body by series, followed by the models that take a different cell. Always trust the marking on the camera or in the battery compartment: similar-looking packs are not necessarily interchangeable, and NP-F550 / F750 / F960 / F970 should still be checked against the contacts and firmware of your body.
Key specifications and limits: 5 W 7 h / 15 W 2.5 h / 38.9 Wh. Actual figures vary with resolution, frame rate, screen brightness and ambient temperature, so plan spares around the shortest figure in the table.
Full compatibility list
All 10 bodies below accept the NP-F960 or a cell from the same family, grouped by series. “Compatible” means the compartment and contacts match; it does not guarantee that older bodies can exploit the full capacity of a high-capacity pack.
| Body | Body | Body | Body |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDR-FX1 | HDR-FX7 | HDR-FX1000 | HVR-Z1 |
| HVR-V1 | HXR-NX5 | HXR-MC2000 | LED panels |
| Field monitors | Sliders |
Which models do not fit
This is where search results most often mislead. Packs with similar names and near-identical shells frequently belong to entirely different systems, and forcing one in can damage the compartment.

How to check before ordering
The reliable check is the model printed on the bottom of the body or inside the battery compartment, matched against this list. On a used camera, also confirm that a previous owner has not swapped the battery door.
To pick by model, start with the specifications and stock status on Sony NP-F960 5400mAh, then browse the full article set in NP-F960; if your body belongs to a neighbouring system, NP-BX1 has the side-by-side explanation.
FAQ
How many bodies take the NP-F960?
Our list contains 10 bodies, from the HDR-FX1 to the Sliders. It is grouped by series, but still check the body marking, since a later generation in the same line can switch cells.
Is the NP-F960 interchangeable with neighbouring models?
NP-F550 / F750 / F960 / F970 shares one shell and contact layout, so those cells fit each other. However, α7 / α9 → NP-FZ100 / F750, and those bodies need their own cell — never judge by shape alone.
Will every body on the list benefit from higher capacity?
All of them run normally, but older bodies set their cutoff and fuel gauge to the original specification, so extra shots do not scale linearly and the percentage may read conservatively.
How do I confirm which cell to buy?
Read the model on the bottom plate or inside the battery compartment and match it against this list. If the marking includes a suffix or a “for use with” note, follow the manual rather than the capacity figure.
