Is it just 'not recommended' to protect the profits of the corporation, or will it physically or electrically not work, or work with reduced capability? I was willing to pay the premium for an OEM replacement. Sony has discontinued all but the smallest OEM batteries for this unit (the HDR-SR11/12) which was a top-of-the-line unit a few short years ago. Sony has now left me with potentially sketchy third-party alternatives... I am now MUCH LESS likely to pay the premium to buy a Sony product in the future, just to be orphaned like that again. 'Fool me twice...' as the saying goes. Beware all Sony buyers, this will happen to YOU someday too.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Original questioner here... Despite the answer below (and after finding http://http://store.sony.com/-cms-page.sony.di.battery.compatibility), decided to purchase the NP-FV70 in-store, being on sale, and having 15 days to return. Turns out the retail packaging has the ''V Series" symbol and also has the "H Series" and "P Series" symbols. Note, the packaging clearly says '1960mAh' vs a different number stated in one of the other answers. It fit, and appears to charge. The display indicates 173 minutes (vs ~93 with the stock NP-FH60). This is with an older (2008 era) hard-drive based HDR-SR11, ymmv. Will report back if there are any anomalies upon extended use.
