    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.

    A necessity since the battery life on mirrorless cameras is good. Very expensive. I carry 2 spares and a wall charger. My mirrorless system is getting as heavy as my DSLR. I would only recommend this to a friend because they are going to need it.

    I need extra batteries for extended backpacking trips. The Sony battery for my Sony a7RII works perfectly, recharges quickly just before trips, is very light, and lasts a long time when I use various power saving settings.

    This battery is the backup for my Sony a6000. The only thing I need the backup battery to do is: hold charge for a while of not being in the camera, charge quickly, work when I put it in. So far, this battery does all of the above. I don't have the wall-charger so the charging is a bit slow, but besides that this is a fine battery for the price.

    This is of course the best battery you can get for cameras that take this battery. Genuine Sony item that holds a charge for longer than most 3rd party batteries. But they show that they know that in the price.

    Excellent battery life length. I have bought replacement batteries from Amazon before, but buying the official Sony brand is surely best. I had to shoot video of my Sony A6000 for a gig for 4 hours, and it lasted the entire shoot.

    Previously when I reviewed this item, I left a poor review due to its quality upon arrival. The package was cut open as though the unused product I bought had already been used, and that was unacceptable at the point that I had spent over $200 on three of these batteries and a charger for them. After exchanging the pre-opened battery for a brand new one, it didn't take much time to charge the batteries, and they each work perfectly for my Sony a7ii camera. Overall, this was a good and necessary buy.

    Purchased for battery backup for Sony ZV-E10. It can hold its charge for about 3.5 qtrs in basketball, football games. It can make the ZV-E10 overheat though as the battery discharges its power reserves. I've had to leave the battery door open to help keep it cool.

    I find these batteries last for years if taken care of. They will even bounce back from from an extended length of time at 0. Keeping a pair of nicely chared batteries on you while out photographing for a day will make shure you never miss a shot… at least not due to a dead battery.

    The battery performs well. I've just needed to buy tons of them with my Sony a7II. That get's a little pricey, but with the manufacturer brand you know you'll get solid performance.
