Can I charge the battery while it is inside the camera?

Troubleshooting

Battery not charging via USB-C

Ensure you are using a functioning USB-C cable and a power source that provides at least 5V output.

Battery appears stuck in the camera slot

Ensure the battery is pushed in correctly; the 4265B matches original dimensions, so if it feels tight, remove it gently and check for any debris inside the compartment.

Camera does not recognize the battery

Remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, and reinsert it to allow the decoding chip to re-initialize with the camera.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, simply charge the battery using a standard USB-C cable until the indicator light signals a full charge. This battery is compatible with a wide array of Sony cameras, including the α7 III, α7R V, α7 IV, FX3, FX30, and ZV-E1. For optimal longevity, avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures outside the 0–45 °C range. When storing the battery for long periods, keep it in a cool, dry place and aim to keep it at approximately 50% charge to preserve the health of the Lithium Polymer cells. Periodically inspect the USB-C port for dust or debris to ensure a solid connection during charging.
