With this additional charger you are able to charge an extra battery using the camera attached to ac current and battery charger .

    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.

    What more do you want. Batteries are always subject to use case scenarios so battery life always varies. I will say that this battery preforms just as well as the stock battery that came with my camera. Would I like for it to last longer, of course. Who wouldn't. Are these more expensive than aftermarket batteries, usually. To me though it's not worth the risk, putting garbage batteries in what I consider to be my investment. Do I want to buy another $500-$2000 device because I put an after market battery in my camera and had something happen? Not this guy. What ever you pay for this little guy, its worth it to have Sonys brand on it. Protect your investment with quality Sony products. I always do and its once less thing I have to worry about when I'm out shooting.

    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.

    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 reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    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.

    Original battery. I feel better about buying at a store where I know only genuine products are sold rather than buying online where i may get a counterfeit product. Also getting it same day in-store is faster than waiting for delivery. Works well, as it should.
