5 Stars Great Replacement Battery
I’ve only had this battery for a short time, but it appears to work just as well as the OEM battery. I can’t believe how much less expensive it is than the name-brand battery, so I’m thrilled to get such a great deal!

4 Stars So far, so good
haven’t had it that long (so only gave it a 4), but works great so far – using as a backup to the cannon battery. Great value based on price and performance so far. Arrived very quickly, great service.

5 Stars They work, and they’re cheap
They work and they cost much less than the Canon batteries. My digital elf can’t tell the difference.

5 Stars Better than canon-I love it
I have had this battery about a week and used it every day. Works great and still fully charged. Pleased beyond words.

I have had nothing but problems with the Canon battery that came with my new camera. After a dozen photos it would go dead. After sitting fully charged in my camera for a week unused would be dead when I wanted to use it. I seldom used my camera because of this. Canon charges around [...]60 bucks for the same battery-just has their name on it. Can’t go wrong at this price.

1 Star Did not work in SD1200IS
Based on positive reviews here, I bought this along along with an SD1200IS. It worked one time but subsequent attempts to use it in the camera elicited “Change battery pack” message on screen. Be warned.

5 Stars all right by me !!!
Sony’s G series lithium ion rechargeable battery is just what I need for my Sony digital camera! This battery is well made and it lasts a good while (about 420 still photos or roughly 210 minutes of video) before you need to recharge it. The battery also lets you see in your lens just how many minutes of time you have left before the battery needs to be recharged; and that’s an improvement over the last battery for my digital camera which did not show me that extra bit of information.

The battery may be made in Japan and not in America; in case that makes you uncomfortable I can assure you that you won’t be sacrificing any quality. This was actually a replacement battery for one that I lost and I haven’t regretted this purchase in the least. It fits easily into the battery slot in my digital camera and works quite well. Of course, it also provides the juice to let your camera take video clips if your camera is able to do that. The quality of the images is always very good.

Although some note that this battery is costly, as of the time of this writing it’s cheaper on this website than where I bought mine!

In addition, when you’re not using this, keep it in its small plastic battery container that will come with this battery. With proper care this should last you forever.

Good work, Sony!

5 Stars Better than the original!!
I purchased this battery as a back up for my recent vacation and boy was I glad I did. The battery life is waaaaaay better than the original battery that came with the camera (Sony H-20). I really like the fact that it tells you how many minutes you have left. Just as a side note you can get this cheaper elsewhere. Either way it is well worth the investment if you plan on putting your camera through some high usage.

5 Stars Works fine
Arrived in original, sealed retail packaging. Works fine my sister’s Cybershot W150.

Apparently this battery is better than the one the original shipped with. But with the original battery lasting only nine months, I think the original must have had a flaw of some sort. Anyways the new one works fine and is compatible with the charger that the camera shipped with.

5 Stars Great little device
During a recent trip to scenic Colorado, I put this battery to the test, and it passed with flying colors. This device packs an added bonus of displaying how much time you have left on the charge. I got this battery as an extra so I could be recharging one while shooting pictures on the power of the other. The Sony charger is very simple to use. The battery and charger are an excellent combination.

3 Stars Is this Normal?
I bought a SONY NP-FG1 as a spare for my W290, but it acts strange. When I charge it with the charger that came with the camera, the charging LED would stay on for only about 6 seconds, then go off. Knowing that this battery charger is supposed to operate for about 1 hour after the LED goes off, I left it to charge overnight.

However, I did attempt to see if the battery was charged several times in that period, but no luck, the camera would not function with this battery. However, the next day, one time this battery worked. But when I removed it from the camera,put it back in the charger and then tried it later, again it didn’t work. There must be some circuit in this battery that turns off/on the power for it. For I discovered that occasionally when it is put in the charger and removed, it may or may not provide power. By using a voltmeter, 4.2V should be across the – and + terminals after a full charge, but occasionally, it is off (0.6 v). Weird battery, maybe it is defective or maybe the CSGD charger is marginal.

In any case, the SONY technical support rep, who I contacted, had no idea of what this problem could be, has no knowledge of the characteristics of this battery.
