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.

I was told not only by the Best Buy employees but also customers standing close enough to hear our conversation to buy this battery. Black Friday made it a good price. It's better to have an extra battery charged and ready to go then to have the one your using go dead with no backup.

Great quality batteries for your a6000 series cameras. Much better than off brand choices. Longer battery life would be nice but they're not that big, so I suggest grabbing a few of them to make sure you can keep shooting photos/video.

If you're new to the Sony mirrorless world, be sure to stock up on extra batteries. The cameras are amazing, but they of course have relatively short battery life - an acceptable trade-off for the size and weight. I've noticed that Sony batteries tend to last longer than 3rd party options.

It's a little pricey for all it is, but it's the geniuene item. Would highly recommend to have at least an additional spare battery!

I have 3 of these batteries, which I used quite extensively on my cruise and land excursion's on my trip to Alaska. These batteries are original Sony brand batteries. I would change out and use these batteries every day and at night. I would highly recommend this battery.

Very glad I bought the SONY OEM extra battery and wall charger. I actually planned to buy after-market battery but then decided to buy SONY OEM. The buy 3, get 25% off special at Best Buy was a nice price point. Thanks Best Buy and SONY.

Having extra batteries is a basic concept, but why not have all of the battery life that's available? Why aren't these extended life batteries included with the cameras? We know the answer, but that won't help you in the field. So spend the bucks and be in the best shape possible!

I wanted to have the ability to go out for a day and shoot photos without the possibility of running low on battery power. So, I purchased the spare battery, and I will never go back to just one battery in my bag again! Totally worth the extra money spent to purchase this!

Can't go wrong with a genuine back up battery. Price is a little expensive but at least you know you're getting quality. Hard to shift through all the reviews of aftermarket ones to find one that is just "okay".

We bought this battery as a back up to our existing battery and it works great. Great way to ease your mind knowing that you will not run out of battery life during your outing.

I don't have too much to say about this since it's just a second battery. Same one as the original, BUT! I didn't realize how much the capacity of the original one had diminished until I popped this one in. I shot an entire wedding for a friend on just this battery.

This battery is the standard for the camera. It holds a good charge. Haven’t had any problems. My camera came with one, but I bought this as a backup for my trip. I never needed it because the battery stayed charged for a while.

Ive had both stock Sony batteries and wasabi knock offs. I just love the Sony battery so much more, and have always bought Sony accessories for all of the Sony camcorders I have had over the years.
Great battery with excellent customer service.

When I first purchased extra batteries other than the original Sony that came with the camera, I went with the largest online company and got several non-Sony brand batteries for the price of one Sony NP FW50 and I was happy. After 6 months I noticed that the off brand cheaper batteries started losing charge very quickly, in some cases after 30 minutes of taking pictures. This is my fifth Sony FW50 and on an extensive weekend shoot, will use all 5. Also have four non-Sony brand batteries advertised as having more power and longevity. It is only true for the initial months, not long term. Don't even use the off brand anymore. The good deal was not a good deal. Stick with Sony and Best Buy has the one you need or can order and have it in no time.
