Great for picture-taking enthusiasts!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Received empty box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best Battery for Sony A6000!!!
||Posted .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.

Excellent overall
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Bargain battery for Sony A6000
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Dependable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Need more than one
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Aux Battery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Device worth buying
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this should be include when camera is bought . This works great charges fast , faster than charging battery in camera with usb cord Sony in des with camera . With this additional charger you are able to charge an extra battery using the camera attached to ac current and battery charger .

This battery allows non stop picture taking!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

As Good as Stock
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Reliable Battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
