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.

                    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.

                        Came fully charged out of the package and used on my Sony VX2000 to shoot a wedding. Held the charge well. Just as good as Sony but the price was better.

                            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):

                                It is a battery. Time will tell but it appears to hold charge well. Number of charge cycles is yet to be determined.

                                  Good replacement or back up for Sony battery. Not as good and takes longer to charge but it is cheaper and still reliable.

                                    I bought this for my Sound Devices 722 field recorder. I can now work 12 hour days without having to worry about running out of battery power. What used to be a distraction on set, is now not even an issue.

                                      • 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.
