    After wasting good money on third party batteries, I have decided to only buy Sony batteries. Why take a risk on an expensive camera that can be damaged by a cheap battery? I have had cheap ones that ended up swelling and luckily was able to remove it before real damage was done to the camera body. These Sony batteries have built-in safety features that are made to work with Sony battery chargers. They are expensive initially but quite possibly cheaper in the long run, all things considered. I use the NP-FW50 in my Sony a6400.

    Bargain battery for Sony A6000

    I am able to keep my Sony A6000 going for 300 shots. The compact size allows me to carry multiple batteries without taking up too much space. Battery life is shortened when keeping the camera on in standby or reviewing many pictures. Got three on clearance which allows me keep going for a full day of shooting.

    Best battery brand. So I bought this battery after my last one went missing but it was a blessing in disguise. My last one was a generic brand and the battery life didn’t last long. It was very frustrating. I have had no issues with the battery life on this one. I have been able to go a full day taking photos without having to worry about it dying on me. I totally recommend for everyone.

    Bought a replacement battery for my Sony ZV-E10 for a trip. Didn't need to charge it throughout the day, and at the end of the day it still had 1/3 of the charge left. Size is perfect.

    After reading multiple reviews we opted to stay with a factory battery as others said the non-factory ones drained quickly. We take a lot of pictures and swapped the batteries out with no issues in length of time the battery stays up. The one with the camera and this one are no different in performance so very pleased.

    Battery works well and held charge for just as long as the original battery that came with my camera. I did this order as a drive-up pickup and unfortunately the box given to me was empty (I assume it was KT.) I immediately went in the store and explained what happened to the workers inside. They were extremely helpful to me and resolved my issue quickly. Love this battery and the camera I got previously to use it in. No complaints with value or quality.

    Never go out on a shoot with just one battery. I use these in my a6000 and a7ii. I’ve tried the cheep knockoff kinds and they work just fine but these Sony ones seem to last a little longer and are just a little bit more reliable. I always keep a few extra charged ones on hand for every shoot.

    The battery has been all that I could have hoped for. On a recent trip out to Missoula, MT I took pictures in Missoula, along the 212 out of Lolo, at Flathead Lake, in Glacier National Park (I take a lot of pictures and cull later) the battery still had a strong charge when I was done. Very satisfied!

    This battery is definitely a worthy purchase - it performs well, seems to hold its charge as much as the factory battery pack and is lightweight enough to carry around everywhere I go. Would suggest picking up a small bag or case to protect the contacts from humidity, sand, dust, etc. while still in camera bag or transport method.

    I think this should be include when camera is bought . This works great charges fast , faster than charging battery in camera with usb cord Sony in des with camera . With this additional charger you are able to charge an extra battery using the camera attached to ac current and battery charger .

    What more do you want. Batteries are always subject to use case scenarios so battery life always varies. I will say that this battery preforms just as well as the stock battery that came with my camera. Would I like for it to last longer, of course. Who wouldn't. Are these more expensive than aftermarket batteries, usually. To me though it's not worth the risk, putting garbage batteries in what I consider to be my investment. Do I want to buy another $500-$2000 device because I put an after market battery in my camera and had something happen? Not this guy. What ever you pay for this little guy, its worth it to have Sonys brand on it. Protect your investment with quality Sony products. I always do and its once less thing I have to worry about when I'm out shooting.

    These Sony batteries are what go in our new camera's and we believe in always being ready for a great picture. SOO with that said one battery that came with the camera is not enough. We always go for at minimum 2 batteries. We currently take so many pictures we have 3 batteries for each camera of which we have to of the NEW Sony RX10-IV which have a range up to 600mm. When you ask for value.... Everything is expensive today so I give it a 4... because it is actually the cost of doing business.... even on vacation!

    A necessity since the battery life on mirrorless cameras is good. Very expensive. I carry 2 spares and a wall charger. My mirrorless system is getting as heavy as my DSLR. I would only recommend this to a friend because they are going to need it.

    I need extra batteries for extended backpacking trips. The Sony battery for my Sony a7RII works perfectly, recharges quickly just before trips, is very light, and lasts a long time when I use various power saving settings.
