Customer Reviews

Great battery! Treat it well and it'll last.
This battery lasts an amazingly long time for what it has to accomplish. I'm very happy and quite impressed!

warning!
Like all rechargeable batteries, this battery must be treated properly or it *will* die a premature death, even after just a few months.

Some people think that leaving rechargeables plugged in to a slow or "trickle" charge won't hurt them, and some chargers even say as much. This is true if we're talking about just a couple of days, but over long periods of time, like several months, it *will* shorten the overall lifespan of the battery, or even kill it completely. (No, this is not the Ni-Cad memory effect, but it's just as bad for the battery)

It is best to charge a battery to capacity, unplug it, then use it normally or just let it sit and self-drain over time. Once drained (to about 4%) plug it back in for a full charge and repeat.

Sometimes name brand product is better!
I had bought two other cheaper off-brands "NP-FR1" batteries for my Sony P-200 (which was minus it's Sony battery when I purchased it) and was disappointed in their performance. They just didn't last as long as I thought they should. So I thought I would bite the bullet and try the more expensive Sony battery and glad I did! The Sony battery has almost twice the life of the off-brands and shows the time remaining much more consistantly. I have never had to change batteries with the Sony, even on multi-day vacations , just charge once at night! Forget the cheapo's and get the real thing... the Sony! By the way, I think the P-200 camera is great too! - the glassman

be weary of generic batteries
I bought this instead of the pro power dual pack(which nobody has reviewed) because I read that some of the generic(might be ALL of the generic batteries for some cameras, who knows) batteries dont work for certain cameras, because sony has special info chips placed in them, as well as other proprietary crap. My camera is the dsc-t30 and the battery works as expected.
