I purchased the above long life battery. I was able to count on it's nearly four hours of dependable power to shoot a wedding . . .plus an entire party following the wedding. No worries whatsoever about this battery quitting on me! I also purchased a SONY 810 CAMCORDER . .for the uses I have it cannot be beat. Having a couple of these strong batteries for back-ups I never have to worry about power; it is so nice not to depend on house power.[...]

I didn't go large enough. This battery is a good backup to the 100 class battery. I would suggest going as large as possible. These batteries don't last as long as the previous Sony batteries did.As the saying goes...go big or go home.

It allows me to run the video camera for almost 4 hours (not that I have ever done that yet), but it makes it much easier for long trips and less battery charging

I had a few different after market brand for this type but they will not last the charge or last the time it shown on your camera. I'm a wedding guy and can't let that happen. It's a bit expensive but you will not regret. It last 4 hrs with my small camera.

B&H Photo is an authorized Sony dealer so I ordered again from them.Placed this battery in my Sony BC-TRV travel charger just minutes ago. 4-hour+ battery life!Apparently there are some batteries at some websites arriving made in China (authentic?) and this one made in Japan that arrives with the Sony official paper warranty. Look for made in Japan.This shorter but similar plastic package is the one to receive as it's the battery made in Japan. I've ordered from B&H forever because they deliver the real thing and back what they sell.It's my professional level stress-free optics dealer by far. Thanks!

When charging this battery with the double charger Sony AC-VQV10 AC Adaptor/Charger, the charger does not display the charge in the battery in terms of hours a minutes of operation remaining. This does not happen when the charger is used with the NP-FV30 Rechargeable Camcorder Battery Pack (500 mA). I do not know whether the problem is with the battery or with the charger.

I bought this battery pack to have a back-up/2nd battery for my Camcorder. It is the middle size battery available so it is a little bit larger than the base battery and a little bit smaller than the largest. It seems to have good operation time and actually the little bit of extra weight makes the Camcorder a little more stable to hold. For my money, I always prefer the manufacturer's batteries as I have never had good luck with aftermarket brands.
