NP-BG1 NP-FG1 Digital Camera Replacement Battery for Sony [Camera]

I bought these batteries and when I received them I charged them up according to instructions. When battery was inserted into my DSC-HX9V the battery indicator for both batteries showed only one bar. Also remaining minutes was being shown and it is not supposed to do that. One battery said 160 min and the other said 35 min.I emailed the company my concerns and they responded with the following email...Hello"Thanks for your order. I saw by the feedback that you left that thiswas not a completely 5 star positive experience. I am writing to seehow we can fix this order for you? We'd be glad to do whatever we canto make this a satisfactory experience, because customer satisfactionis an extremely important part of our business. Thanks, I will lookforward to your reply, I am sorry again for the trouble with thisorder.New Harbor"I sent them a reply explaining the problem..."Thank you for your reply. I recently bought 2 batteries for my Sony DSC-HX9V,I received the batteries promptly. After I put the 1st battery in the camera and charged it and turned it on, the battery charge indicator on LCD screen only showed 1 bar of charge and for some reason it showed 135 minutes remaining which the OEM battery does not do. The second battery did the same but only showed 35 min when fully charged. It would cost almost as much to ship them back to you as I paid so to make me happy and change my review you can send me 2 batteries that have been tested out on my model to make sure they work like the OEM ones. I would actually rather pay more up front and not have to go through this."I then received a reply as follows..."Hello,All payments and transactions go directly thru Amazon. We are unable to do anything with the order. If you have any questions regarding this issue, you will have to contact Amazon directly.Thanks for your understanding.Best regards,New Harbor"Obviously they were not willing to do anything at all to make good on the defective products. It would cost more for me to return the item than to just throw them out. I am finding out you are taking a big chance by not buying from a known reputable dealer. I will be spending more in the future buying OEM products but will be saving money in the long run.

These batteries purport to be a direct replacement for the SONY "G" Type Camera Battery. I was (justifiably) suspicious of the low price, but figured I would take a chance. The old saw, "You get what you pay for" held true in this case. These batteries operate my Sony CyberShot camera for only about 30 or so minutes before they die. And that is turning the camera on and off, not leaving it on. These batteries are not worth the cost to send them back, and they are not "improperly described" on amazon, so the freight is on me. These will be going to the battery recycle box at work, and I will be purchasing a genuine SONY battery for my camera. Again, would not rate as one star if I could, but amazon makes me rate one star minimum. (Why?)

I bought this battery as a backup for my Sony HX5V for a trip to Europe last summer. I used this battery and the OEM battery extensively, and the Sony battery had a MUCH longer battery life. I could average over 400 pictures and a few short videos on the Sony battery, and only about 150-200 pictures on this one. The GPS was engaged with both batteries. If you need a cheap, emergency backup battery, then this product will suffice. If you want a true replacement for the Sony, then just buy the OEM.

I purchased two for these for my Sony digital point and shoot camera because the original ones died. They work very well and are listed at a good price, certainly much less than the replacement Sony batteries.

Very good, just do not hold power as long as the original, but I am happy with it.

This battery worked great in my camera. My old battery was lasting less than a day. This battery took me through over have of my vacation with lots of use before I need to recharge it. Great deal!

I was skeptical about buying a generic replacement battery for my new Sony HX5V after reading so many reviews of other replacement batteries not working correctly. This one though, works PERFECTLY! I bought this battery, and the "real" backup battery from Sony for extra backup batteries, and both perform exactly the same and I would recommend this much cheaper backup battery to anyone with a Sony camera that requires the type "G" battery. Very happy with this purchase and may even order another in the future if need be.
