Customers are impressed with the product's excellent battery life, overall performance, and quick charging speed.

    So far has been working great just like my OEM battery that came with my Sony a6100. Tossed out my two Amazon batteries that died within two months of purchasing.

    I bought this battery to have on hand as an extra, since my Sony a6500 goes through batteries quickly. The Sony brand batteries seem to last quite a bit longer than other brands, so worth the purchase price to me!

    It's always better to have a backup battery on hand and I love that I can shoot my long events and not have to worry about my battery life expiring too soon.

    Was a lot more money than I wanted to spend but as a Best Buy house brand it was less than an OEM branded item. Keeps the camera powered and ready to got so no missed opportunities. With several active grandchildren that can be a sudden challenge.

    I bought this to have an extra for my Sony camera. The battery life is great on these but just wanted to have the extra one so if I forgot to charge one I would always have another charged.

    This is Sony original battery for Alpha Sony mirrorless camera. I own A6300 and love it. The battery charges withing a couple of hours and last adequate time but many have expressed desire for Sony to introduce new one with better capacity as camera eats them up pretty quickly. Overall good product which can be improved.

    I bought 4 of these batteries on sale for 30.00 each. I have a few off brand batteries but for whatever reason the Sony branded batteries seem to last much longer. I know that Sony does not manufacture their own batteries but these do last longer.

    Factory battery. Unfortunately it doesn’t last long but that’s Sony’s fault for not just designing a larger battery. This works identical to the original

    You must have an extra battery with these cameras and this one works very well. I have purchased 3rd party batteries they don’t come near the job that this Sony one does. Spend a little more get a way better battery!
