I would recommend this to a friend Spare Battery for Alpha 7II
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a spare battery for the SONY Alpha 7ii while on vacation. Battery is the exact model# that came with the original camera. Works fine with camera, but still camera seems to go through batteries quite quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Compatibility
Battery, plain and simple.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the actual Sony battery for the a6000. Does the job right.
I would recommend this to a friend Needed this for an a7s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had rented a Sony a7s for a film shoot and needed a backup battery. Since we were recording to an Atomos external recorder, I felt like the batteries were always being swapped in both devices.
I would recommend this to a friendNeed to be used constantly!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice replacement batteries but have to use them constantly. If you leave them in bag for a month, there is a chance that the charger won't charge them.

Perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome I love this product I a happy to have a backup
I would recommend this to a friend Must have
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have a Sony mirrorless camera it's power hungry and you need multiple batterys or you will not be happy when you are out of power and a long way from home
I would recommend this to a friendExtra battery for low power capacity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this battery due to reviews about limited battery life on this make. Does not hold a charge long due to camera drawing power extreme, buy a few of these to supplement this lack of charge.

Posted .We're saddened to hear that the battery failed to meet your expectations. Thanks for posting a review though, we appreciate this. -Zander
Beware these are NOT 1080 mAh but 1020
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy should revise their listing here since these are NOT "high capacity" batteries, but rather 1020mAh, made in China.... Better if you can find the (made in Japan) Np-fw50 1080 mAh.

Sony quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For my new A6400 camera...Sony quality all the way
I would recommend this to a friend A necessity for any a7 series camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These batteries are an absolute necessity for any a7 camera. Make sure you buy MORE than you think you need as the battery life isn't all that good, especially if you're shooting video.
I would recommend this to a friendNot the greatest battery life
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t really have a choice this is what you can use with the camera that I have bought the battery life is iffy at best
I would recommend this to a friendGreat camera for most part but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second battery I bought for my camera and they both only charge if it's in the camera. They won't charge if you use the wall charger. The battery life isn't very long
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Jbroucker, please check the compatibility of the wall charger with the battery. We recommend using the BCTRW travel charger for this battery. Thanks_Mitch
High Capacity Not So High
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony - NP-FW50 High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery used for Sony a6000 camera. The Positives - Provides energy to the camera but... The Negatives - Does not hold a charge very long. I'm averaging 500 pictures and the battery is going below 20%. I purchased two batteries and will now need to purchase a third one. I had to use two batteries while photographing a professional baseball game (6 hours and less than 1200 pictures). My Nikon D7000 camera battery would last that long without having to use a back up battery.

Posted .Hi infiniti8, we're saddened to hear about your disappointment with the battery. We recommend switching the camera off when not in use to preserve battery life. You can also enable the Power Save setting to turn the unit off automatically. Thanks_Mitch

It's a battery!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super short battery life with the a6500, but THIS battery provides the best available (compared to 3rd party brands.)
I would recommend this to a friend Necessary purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sadly these little batteries don't last long in the Sony cameras. Having several of them on hand, along with chargers to charge them, is a necessity.
