I was afraid that, like many generic batteries I've used in the past, this battery would lose power after an hour or two of constant shooting. I was pleased with the amount of time it lasted, 3.5 - 4 hour range.
I'm happy enough with it to buy another one tomorrow!

I bought this after reading some reviews and was actually disappointed with the fit or I should say lack of fit into my camcorder. It engages but poorly and only after struggling with and forcing the battery to engage. It may or may not hold a charge but for now, I can't get past the connection problem.
If I had it to do over, I'd opt for the more expensive Panasonic battery.

Comments about Pearstone CGR-D54 Lithium-Ion Battery (7.2V, 5400mAh):
Cheaper than the Panasonic, the Pearstone is a good option for a backup battery. The battery life is nearly as good as the Panasonic, and if not used as often, it'll last quite a while before losing power.

I'm an HVX200 user and just replaced a worn out Panasonic battery with a Pearstone. Lasts equally as long and costs 1/3 less. Great value with no down-side.

Comments about Pearstone CGR-D54 Lithium-Ion Battery (7.2V, 5400mAh):
The battery life and charge times seems to be on-par with the original Panasonic batteries I had been using.
The mount is slightly looser than the Panasonic batteries, but not bad enough to affect the contacts or create any noticeable clatter.

Comments about Pearstone CGR-D54 Lithium-Ion Battery (7.2V, 5400mAh):
Brought this with me on a shoot to France. Tested out in the states before I went and seemed to work. Only held one charge cycle. Afterwards it seemed to charge, but failed to power my DVX-100B. Also seemed to require more force than I was comfortable with to fit it to the camera and charger.

Comments about Pearstone CGR-D54 Lithium-Ion Battery (7.2V, 5400mAh):
Broke after two or three uses, the fitting is very poor as the others suggest (there's also a bit of white in there next to the connectors which is possibly corrosion?!). I hedged my bets by getting a used Panasonic battery for the same price and that one's been fine.

I've had no problems with this battery. Long life in the field right out of the package. I would recommend over paying for the more expensive panasonic version,

Great buy so far, haven't had any issues with it yet, and don't see it being a problem in the future. As of right now i would recommend this product for someone else to buy and use.
