When I purchased my HVX-200 it came with a CGR-D54 LI battery, I was convinced that I would not even use it since I have a bunch of Anton Bauer Dionic 90's. My thought was that I would just buy an adapter and use them to save money.
The more that I used the Panasonic battery that came with the camera, the more I realized that it was pro quality, it charged quickly and often could power my camera for the whole shoot. Panasonic was also really thinking when they designed the P2 store to use the same battery as well- I now have two and they are all that I need for 90% of my shoots.
I used the Dionics as back-up!

I have a Panasonic HVX200 and so I bought this as an extra battery.
So far, I have only used my camera with MiniDV tapes and the battery life seems to be about 4-5hours.
Hopefully using P2 cards will extend the life of the battery.
It's a small and stylish battery that fits nicely in a camera bag.
Very simple to use.
Charging this takes a couple of hours.
Have not used any other brands yet, so I can't compare this with others, but so far it seems to be a pretty solid battery.

This is a great battery and lasts long enough for a shoot that may last all day. I've used it for 3 different shoots this past week and it's held up great. I have 4 other older batteries that just aren't holding charges, so this has been great.

My production company goes through a lot of batteries - they get lost on the road, etc. So quality and affordability is important. Panasonic gives us both.

Comments about Panasonic CGA-D54 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack:
This battery is just great for what we need. Often we are hired to do live shoots and day long run and gun. Although this battery is just about the same size/weight as the orginal battery, it lasts 4 or 5 times as long. I would reccomend this to a friend. It is easy to use and just needs an overnight charge to be good as new again.

These batteries are way better than the off brand kinds. Spend the extra money because when you don't get the shot because your cheap battery gave out then you won't get a call back.
