I paired this with a port key monitor and I am kinda shocked how long it lasts. I can take it out for multiple shoots before needing to charge. Display percentage indicator is a big plus.

Really like this version of this battery, solid build. There is a lot of gear that uses this type. The digital read out is very handy, especially with the external monitors.
