5 Stars – Reliable and Long-Lasting Battery!
I recently purchased a Sony battery and couldn’t be more satisfied. It performs exactly as expected—holding a strong, consistent charge and lasting a long time between uses. Whether I’m using it for my camera or another compatible device, I’ve noticed improved performance and reliability compared to cheaper alternatives. It also charged quickly and didn’t overheat. Definitely worth the investment if you want a dependable power source from a trusted brand like Sony. Highly recommend!

I prefer using my camera manufacturer's (Sony) battery instead of generic brands as chargers and batteries can be hit or miss. This battery is well constructed and ideal as the battery fits snug with the appropriate Sony charger and lasts long for filming 1080P 24 frames on my Sony Alpha 7II full frame camera. Obviously, anyone filming knows you need to buy additional batteries for back ups on your shoots. These batteries do the job and hold their charge efficiently.

Having tried cheaper versions of this battery for our video camera and them both dying after 2 uses I'm back to only buying Sony ones. I tried buying these from Amazon but there a very lengthy delay, so looked for other places to purchase from. BestBuy is online, who knew - sorry guys but I didn't. Ordered and received within 2 -3 days. Was informed of delivery every step of the way too, same price as Amazon AND free delivery! So if I need anything else electronic I'll come here.

This battery is amazing, it works perfectly with my Sony NEX 5R!! Its OEM, do not buy elsewhere, other places offer a similar battery at half the price with disappointing results. IF the price of this battery is what keeps you from buying ***Read the BEST BUY price match policy it will save YOU MONEY!!! ;)

Switched from Canon DSLR to Sony mirrorless and am loving it. Should have known long time back. Anyway I would definitely recommend hobbyist or pro photographers. It's amazing size makes easier to carry around and shoot but my only concern is the battery life. It just drains out quickly and I would suggest an extra batteries. Hope Sony improves the battery life or supply more than 2 batteries. It would definitely help. Thank you Sony for making such a wonderful camera.

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.
