Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium Battery for Select Sony Camcorders & Digital Cameras

Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium Battery for Select Sony Camcorders & Digital Cameras Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium Battery for Select Sony Camcorders & Digital Cameras I received the two batteries on schedule as promised and immediately cut open the package of one battery and installed it into my Sony Camcorder for complete charging prior to the first use. Soon after it began to charge I noticed in the charging information-window on the camera that the battery was already about 1/2 to 3/4 charged. I let the battery fully charge....to its max. My Camera LIVES again and I'm pleased. (now, just to find that cable to plug the cam into the computer!)

Received battery and status very quickly..and worked like new, My camera is working again and back to normal. Once a camera gets old, which does not take very long anymore, it sometimes is hard to find replacement parts. It did not take anytime to receive a status of the battery and it came wrapped and was brand new. I will use this product or website over and over again to purchase anything.

This is the standard battery for my Sony Cybershot DSC F-828 DSLR, ordered as a backup for the single battery that came with the camera. What I didn't realize was that this package included a backup glass lens protector and most importantly a case specifically designed for this camera. I'd been making do with a case intended for a 35mm camera with zoom lens attached, but it never really fit properly. I was very surprised when a big box came in the mail, and pleased that the price was about the same as the OEM battery alone if I had ordered it from Sony. The case has a couple of external pockets for filters, cables, memory cards, spare battery, and is a bit smaller and lighter than the bulky case I've been using. The only downside to the case is that there isn't much room for the camera's strap, but very handy overall.

The battery itself is fine and works as it should. It is misleading that it clearly shows this as a Sony product, yet when you receive it, it's not. I called to inquire, got no real answer other then I could return it. It's not a Sony product, rather made for a Sony product. It shouldn't be called Sony.

I can attest to the fact that this is indeed a genuine NP-FM50 battery. Tried to order a second but "Fair Pricing" did not have any left. I went to another Amazon seller which sold the battery to me for around the same price but it proved defective out of the box and may not have been legit. The NP-FM50 from Fair Pricing works like my original battery did back in 2005 - Great!. I am already replacing the defective one (seller name withheld) with a new order from J&R which costs more. If Fair Pricing gets these in stock again anytime soon, I encourage you to buy from them as they truly do offer the best price.

Wherever I searched for this replacement battery, including Sony's own site, all that was offered was an off brand replacement with a confusing description, leaving me with doubt as to whether it was the correct item. Amazon was the ONLY place I found exactly what I was looking for and at a reasonable price. This has been the case whenever I have shopped at Amazon. Its an awesome siteand I will continue shopping here, taxes and all.

The title of this item says it is Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium Battery, but what you are going to receive is a no name equivalent battery pack. The battery is not from Sony and does not have the same power ratings as that of the original battery that came with my camcorder. No where on the battery or on the box I find the name 'Sony'. The battery pack that I received is SN-NP-FM50/55H and was shipped to me by Eforcity. This very same no name battery pack is sold by this seller on amazon for $6.15 and I paid $17.82 + S&H. So anyone planning to buy this item, beware, you are NOT going to get a Sony battery. I tried charging this battery, it stopped charging at 155 mins and would not say the charge is full like the original did. I unplugged the power cord and plugged it back again after couple of mins. without using any battery power, the battery started charging again from 125 mins. When contacted seller, I got an email asking if I would like a refund or replacement, but would not say if the replacement is going to be a original battery.

You dont always get a good battery from some people, & some people are selling fakes, & not the real infosystem battery, but, this guy certainly has sent me the REAL THING, & a GOOD ONE NO DOUBT!!!))))))))) Did not take long to get it, NO PROBLEMS GOOD JOB!!!))))))))))
