I have bought knock-offs on Amazon and those did not hold their charges pretty well. This Sony battery from Best Buy, however, seems to last longer

Good Performing Battery for Sony Alpha Cameras

This battery gives the best performance one can expect from a Sony Alpha camera, it definitely holds a longer charge than non-OEM versions. I wish the battery life was better on these cameras, but you can't really blame the battery for that. This is the one to get if you use a Sony Alpha camera.

I purchased several of these to have in reserve while traveling. They are easy to charge, install, and store. The charge time is reasonable and battery length/power sufficient for 500-600 12mb photos or more. Recommend 3-4 for travels with charger or 5-6 without.

I have been using the second batter more often with last minute photography or video shoots where I forgot to charge the battery the night before. A few times I've needed the extra battery to continue with a shoot but not as often. It's just great to have since you never know what the day will call for.

Don't waste your time with copies. My experience with Sony camera batteries over 16 years has taught me to trust the real deal. They can be fully charged for years of reliable power.

At least one extra battery is a requirement, especially for traveling. I ran it dry on several occasions - just out and about shooting, at the museums, at the concerts. It's small enough to be easy to carry, recharges fairly quickly, and well, what else can i say than you simply cannot shoot without a spare.

I have bought many third party batteries for my Sony alphas and they don't last. So since my 2016 NP-FW50 was still going strong, I decided to finally pony up the cash for three more OEM batteries. I can't in good conscience give 5 stars though considering the price.
