Zoom ZBCQ2n Battery Case for Q2n/Q2n-4K

The Zoom BCQ-2n is an external battery case made specifically for Zoom Q2n and Q2n-4K Handy Video Recorders. It helps extend recording sessions when the recorder's normal battery capacity is not enough for longer performances, rehearsals, interviews, or field recording work. The case holds four additional AA batteries and supplies power to the recorder through the included Micro USB cable.

This accessory is intended for Q2n and Q2n-4K owners who need more runtime without relying on an AC outlet. Zoom rates the BCQ-2n to extend recording time by up to four times, with actual operating time depending on battery chemistry, recording settings, and usage conditions. It is a focused power accessory rather than a charger or a standalone recorder.

The BCQ-2n supports alkaline, Ni-MH rechargeable, and lithium AA batteries, giving users flexibility when choosing a power source. Its regulated DC 5V, 1.0A USB Type-A output is designed to feed compatible Zoom recorders through their Micro USB power connection. Batteries are purchased separately, so users can select the AA chemistry that suits their recording needs.

For practical recording setups, the battery case mounts beneath the compatible recorder using its screw-in attachment. This keeps the power source physically paired with the Q2n or Q2n-4K instead of requiring a separate loose battery pack. The compact form factor makes it suitable for mobile video and audio capture where longer recording time is the priority.

The BCQ-2n fits naturally into a Zoom Q2n or Q2n-4K recording system as a dedicated runtime upgrade. It is useful for creators documenting live music, lessons, events, practice sessions, and other extended takes. The package includes the battery case, a Micro USB cable, and an operation manual for setup guidance.
