A G type camera battery is a specific rechargeable format used in select compact digital cameras and small camcorders. On this page, you’ll see it referenced alongside model codes like NP-BG1 and NP-FG1, which are commonly treated as the same overall “G” fit in many devices.

• Where it’s used: Certain point-and-shoot cameras and pocket camcorders designed for the G format.
• How it’s labeled: Product listings often mention “G Type” and include NP-BG1/NP-FG1 in the compatibility notes.
• Charging: Look for chargers that explicitly support the G format or list those same codes.

Matching the battery format to your device can help avoid returns and downtime. These steps can make it easier:

1. Check your current battery: Look for codes printed on the label (for example, NP-BG1 or NP-FG1).
2. Look in the manual or battery bay: Many devices list the required battery code inside the compartment or in the user guide.
3. Review product pages: Compatibility sections usually call out G type and related codes.
4. Cross-verify before purchase: If the listing shows NP-BG1/NP-FG1 support, it may fit devices that use those codes, but model-by-model fit can vary.

On this page, many replacement options list NP-BG1 and NP-FG1 together under the G type umbrella, which suggests they share a common fit in numerous devices. That said, device requirements can differ.

• Common ground: Both codes frequently appear in the same compatibility lists for G type batteries and chargers.
• Device specifics: Some models may call for one code over the other; always match what your device or original battery indicates.
• Chargers: Choose chargers that specify G type support or name both codes to help ensure a proper fit.

Capacity, shown in mAh, indicates potential run time. Higher mAh can offer longer shooting sessions, while lower mAh may be lighter on the budget and charge faster, though results vary by device and usage.

• Match your use: For all-day events, consider higher-mAh options or multi-packs.
• Check listings: You’ll see options like single batteries, 2-packs, and charger bundles with capacities noted (e.g., 1600mAh).
• Balance needs: Extra capacity can be helpful, but carrying a spare battery is another practical approach for longer days.

You’ll find several charging options for G type batteries in this category. The right choice depends on how and where you charge most often.

• Wall chargers: Plug-in models designed specifically for the G format are common and straightforward.
• USB/Type-C chargers: Some kits include chargers powered by USB or USB‑C, which can be handy for travel or on-the-go use.
• Compatibility check: Ensure the charger explicitly lists G type or NP-BG1/NP-FG1 support.
• Safe use: Use a reliable power source, follow the charger’s instructions, and avoid charging in extreme temperatures.
