It is generic brand but it serves as a Sony Brand one. I thought it is not as same specs as Sony, but it is. After I received, I charge for a whole night just to make sure it's full of charge. I snap it on my Sony Digital Video Recorder. My camera shows hour many hours remain. It is 10% more than my original Sony NP-F950. All I can say is it is great battery for half of the cost of my pocket.

The time showed in camera was great but one day i need all time and it stoped after 1,5min, i put charge many time but not, only 1,5 min of shot.
I opened the batery and see signals of corrosion, many rust.
I used a few months. I bought in 09/2009 and stopped in 2010, november. Without any reason, camera shot in the studio, air conditioners, no several conditions.

Good price. But the unit I got would not stay powered for more than a few minutes. I am replacing with a sony branded since the price is only $10 difference.

Comments about Pearstone NP-F975 L-Series Lithium-Ion Battery (7.2V, 7200mAh):
The battery provides me with a long run time for my PIX 240 video recorder. I have two and they are adequate for a normal shoot. This review is based on my initial experience and time will tell how they hold up in the future.

Comments about Pearstone NP-F975 L-Series Lithium-Ion Battery (7.2V, 7200mAh):
It lasts 8hrs on my Sony HVR-Z7N!
The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is that on my Sony Led light HVL-LBP it doesn't work at all! And that is a shame.

Comments about Pearstone NP-F975 L-Series Lithium-Ion Battery (7.2V, 7200mAh):
• Sony HVR-Z7U
• Lots of Power, lasts a long time.
• Must be just a tiny tiny bit larger then the original Sony because the HVR-MRC1 memory recording unit, that mounts behind the battery, is a bit snug fitting.
