Built in charging by USB-C is the bonus feature.
I was already using some NP-F style batteries with built in charging by USB-C and I love the simplicity of it so I snatched up this K&F Concept battery because an NP-F550 battery is a trade off I take for my 5 inch HDMI camera monitor. None of my other gear will last long or they even shut down in less than a minute on the wattage of a 550 level battery, but the bigger batteries defeat the purpose of the 5 inch monitor which is to have a camera rig with as little weight as possible hanging out on brackets where the weight is leveraged with all the bad characteristics that scenario creates.
The self contained charging from USB-C and still being able to leave it in a dedicated NP-F charger bay provides option to have the battery topping up from even a car's outlet while driving to a shoot location.
There is no penalty in size or complexity so I expect this trend to expand across other families of batteries from here on.
