It's a pretty good replacement battery. This particular shipper took a very long time to ship. The final cost with shipping came out the same price that the battery cost in Best Buy. so it wasn't much of a savings at all. It was an ok experience. That's about it.
It does what it's supposed to do -- charges, then supplies power to my Cybershot camera. It also shows the minutes of time remaining, which is a nice change from the NPBD1.
This has better life than the battery that comes with the camera. You would need a spare when you planning to take more movies since the movie depletes the battery quicker. As a bonus, this battery also shows how many minutes are remaining.
NOTHING BEATS ORIGINAL STUFF, THIS IS A GREAT BUY, IT SHOWS TIME LEFT, AND EVERYTHING IS AS DESCRIBED.
I got the camera 9 months ago and went ahead and sprung for a spare battery - so far I've NEVER run down a battery in a single day unless I was shooting >30 minutes of movie. (Days after a charge I'll click on the camera and find an almost completely charged battery). For just pics I get 180-200 per charge, and I'm rarely taking more than 100 a day. Both batteries still hold plenty of charge (for me) for a long time. I keep one battery in the charger pretty much all the time at night, and when I go out expecting to take a LOT of pictures ALL DAY - I'll take both batteries, but I've only had to switch to "back-up battery" once - and that was with filming a concert over an hour long. When taking just still pics I've never run out of battery.I guess if I were a pro I'd want more battery - but if I were a pro I'd want more camera too.
