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.

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.

I love taking lots of pictures when I travel, so having two fully charged battery packs that I can rely on is great! It's terrible when you find that one thing that you'd love taking a picture of, but can't because your battery pack just died! Well, having this second fully charged battery pack has worked out great! It's somewhat bulky, but fits well in the pocket of the typical Sony camera bags. And I recommend buying this Sony name brand; works well with the a6000.

Best Battery for Sony A6000!!!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Okay, so a couple of months ago, I purchased a Sony A6000 from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier (see that review)! I started with the battery it came with because I thought I would snapping a couple of photos here and there, nothing too crazy. Well I was completely wrong!!! I fell in love with that camera, and then fell in love with photography even more! I could not put the camera down. I started taking it everywhere! So what's a guy to do when the camera dies? Purchase another battery of course! And that's exactly what I did. I purchased not one, but two more of these Sony - NP-FW50 High-Capacity Lithium-Ion Batteries. Yes, there are off brands you can purchase for cheaper, but my outlook on that is, why buy cheaper products for a high quality camera?! That defeats the purpose. These batteries charge fast, hold a charge for a long time (depending on usage of course), and even tell you the percentage of battery left on your sony camera screen. Plus, Sony is definitely a name you can depend on, and they back up their products if you have any problems. Anyway, definitely recommend this product for any of the sony line cameras. A bit pricey, but you won't regret it.
Tip: You can find these on sale from time to time at bestbuy.com OR the other option is, find them cheaper somewhere else and Best Buy will PRICE MATCH! They are amazing at price matching.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We have had 2 of these batteries, one by Sony, as this new one is, and the other by another manufacturer. The original Sony battery is still going whereas the other no longer holds much of a charge and has swollen so that it no longer fits in the camera. We're looking forward to the new battery performing as well as the original.
