I was looking for batteries for my Sony 6000a and found this. It was reasonably priced so I bought it. Charger works great for my Sony battery. However the K&F Concept batteries it came with didn't even hold a charge. I contacted customer service and they got back to me saying they will be sending me new batteries. So I'll update this review to let you folks know if I got the new batteries and if they work.

It is compact, it has two batteries and it is cheaper than the Sony one, the durability is badly done because I have just started

I never knew K&F Concept made batteries. I’ve only ever used their filters and they were of great quality. So it’s good to see that they carried that care for quality into these batteries.
You get two NP-FW50 batteries a dual charger and a usb-c cable. You have to supply your own power adapter. The charger is not the best but it gets the job done correctly and safely. The charger gives you two usb options to charge with (usb-c & micro usb). The flexibility of the charging station allows you to charge on the go via a car charger or power power bank, keeping your batteries topped off while you work.
These FW50 batteries are on par with most good FW50 batteries I have tested from third parties. They hold up fairly well during activity and are a great replacement to any aging battery, even if they are the original Sony batteries.

Works amazing. Fits my Sony A7iii with no issues. They work just like the original Sony batteries. Love these and love that they come with their own charging station. I highly recommend these to anyone.

Doesn't last as long as the original(not to far either) but still very good value for the money. I would recommend

Very light and compact. Not the fastest charger, but benefits from charging two batteries at once.

I charged the batteries 1 month ago
When first used, they showed 99%.
So no discharge in the meantime.
During a photo shoot with -1 degrees they withstood the shock well.
4 batteries for about 700 photos. (2 Sony+2 in the kit)
I did not check the difference in discharge according to the brands but with respect to my use it is really a good choice.
Now to see in time.

After one year and a few months of use, the batteries work well, up to 30% of battery life remaining, then they are empty all at once, so be careful because over time they lose their discharging powers.
I also noticed that it took longer to charge.
While my 2 Sony batteries have no problems currently.
So I will go ahead and buy two Sony batteries and keep my 2 batteries as backup
October 2021
Well that's it they no longer hold a charge
Drain quickly and go to 0 to 30%
I will keep the charger which is practical and recommend a Sony battery.
They did the job anyway but my Sonys are still top notch.

Really good replacement for the original sony batteries for Sony a series cameras. I tested them and they are even better than the original ones. They lasted longar than the original ones and oh how I love the slim double charger, AMAZING!
I reccomend totally worth it!

UPDATE: K&F Concept customer service was excellent and sent a replacement battery. This battery is fully functional. Updating my review back up to 5 stars due to K&F Concept's responsiveness and customer service, which can be hit or miss with overseas brands. I have no problem recommending K&F Concept as a responsible brand.

Ok, first the Pros:
Small form factor
Charges batteries reasonably quickly - including the standard Sony brand batteries.
Easy USB-C connector.
Cons:
One of the two batteries was completely faulty and would not take a charge, right out of the box.
I've reached out to K&F Concept Customer Service and will update this review based upon the results of the resolution of the issue.
