Batteries Reviews

I really expected the battery to last a bit longer. I really can't go more than one or two uses with out charging. I am going to purchase a second battery out of fear of not having enough juice when I need to use it.

A spare battery is not a strong must for the P10 since the battery live is pretty decent but better save than sorry.
Works just like the one included with the camera.

We would like to comment the battery pack 3,6 volt 2,4 mH for Sony Digital Camera Type DSCP-5,very difficult to find at the market.

Please give us the reference the MTBF and MTBR for the battery and how many hours the battery recomended for recharged.

Thank you for your attention.

This battery is just 500 to 600 mAh, as compared to a 1150mAh M series battery, its size and capacity is so small. Besides, it do not have a double or trible size alternative. SonyHP.com has a detail comparsion of them. It often price from [money amount]to [money amount].

Nice Battery for my Sony Cybershot DSC-P3 camera. I tried it in my camera and it worked great. It was a lot cheaper than buying it off the Sony website.

I have two of these batteries in my case (along with the tiny one that came with my DCRVX2000 which I never use because it doesn't last.) This battery is great! Yes, it does add extra weight but I have never, ever run out of power during a film shoot. The cast and crew will burn out long before the battery does! If you just shoot some casual home footage, it might be overkill but if you, like me, end up shooting footage in locations where there's no handy electrical outlets, this battery is a welcome addition to your equipment bag!

what can I say: Its the right battery for my Sony D8 camcorder. Longlasting and not overly big. 5 stars if the price was better.

This battery works in all conditions and is a never fail battery. I have used it for 7 years and never had problems.

My original sony battery was short lived, ordered this one...et voila! super long duration! I can film and film without worrying about the battery dying. another product that works exactly as advertised! congrats sony and thanks.

We purchased a Mavica that came with a NPF330 battery several years ago. Like another reviewer mentioned, our battery began to act up in very little time though we could never associate any particular event with why it happened. The old battery would show over 100 minutes available until you used the camera - especially with the flash on - an then would go to zero! It never worked well after that.

This new battery is great and I appreciate the other reviewer's mention of luggage inspection machines perhaps being a problem. I'll try to keep this battery out of harm's way now that I know what might harm it!

Sony's battery works as promised; nothing special about it. It works the same as any other lithium battery, starting out with great battery time, but slowly decreasing over the years. The one thing that bothers me...

I bought this battery to replace a Sony NP-F330 that came with my Sony camera. That battery started experiencing problems only one year after purchase. I noticed that the battery seemed to jump from 90 min of battery life to, suddenly, 0 min left. This only atarted to occur after my luggage went through those metal detectors at the airport. The security people said that it was possible that all lithium batteries, not just Sony, could be ruined as a result of going through airport security. Since the time I've bought this new battery, I have not gone to the airport, so I don't know if this battery gets ruined also. But just beware, going on vacation could ruin your...battery.

I haven't seen this problem in other reviews, so it might just happen to me. Who knows...

Other than that problem, this battery has no problem charging, being used, etc. I just don't think that a battery should cost almost half the price of the camera itself. Oh well...

We have this battery as well as the 2 hour Info-Lithium that came with our Sony Mavica. It's a great addition, especially when we're out and about and don't want to miss a shot because of a dead battery.

It is good idea to buy used but in case of batteries one should at least know how many hours it has been used,If one can get hardly used battery used once or twice,It will be a big saving.
I have bougt a new Camcorder DCR-TRV720E with a NP-F330 battery,with 4 inches screen I need more power of battery if i use my Camcorder throgh screen It can last only one hour, With NP-F550 it will work for two and half hours, if I use with view finder it can last for five hours, but i need more than that which I think will be NP-F960 if I get one with a special price it will be big saving.

Absolutely worth the money - I use this battery with my Sony Mavica FD92 and I can use it for hours at full charge. It takes maybe 3-5 hours to charge an empty battery... and with my flash on, and taking continuous shots for 2 hours straight the battery never goes empty! My camera runs at optimum level and my pictures come out great! No complaints.. definitely worth the $!

It's a shame to have to buy another battery after buying the camera, but you won't regret spending the money. This battery lasts significantly longer than the F330 that typically comes with the Sony digital cameras. Buying this will also allow you to have two batteries on hand, the new one and the one packaged with the camera, and should be plenty of battery power for even above average use of the camera.

If you have a Mavica and don't have a camera bag already, I would recommend buying the ACC-MVC2 Starter Kit. It comes with the F550 battery, a carrying case, 3 floppies and a LCD cleaning cloth for around $80.
