3.0 out of 5 stars Chinese Knockoff - Not Sony, January 2, 2008

These are NOT Sony batteries and will NOT display the time left. You are better off getting the NP-FD1 - it's cheaper and displays the charge time left on the LCD.

They are a little tight going into my DSC-T200, probably because of the extra stickers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as pictured, September 22, 2010

As others have noted, this is not the Sony battery as pictured, it is a slightly different size with different wrap and generic lettering on it. It won't fit in your device as well as the Sony batteries (they are too tall for my t200), but it's not a bad/impossible fit either.

Oddly, the Sony battery often doesn't give me a battery timer, these do. I bought 2 batteries and both say 123 minutes when fully charged. I don't know how accurate that is yet.

Pros:

Decent battery life. They run approximately 123 minutes on t200 camera.

They're cheaper than the (in my opinion) overpriced Sony brand

Cons:

-Chinese li-ion batteries might have more safety issues. They are unknown quality. Li-ions need to be built with safety measures. It's safe to say Sony batteries are better.

-Did NOT come with a battery case, this makes it easy to short them by accident when not being used or stored. It's something I would be especially concerned about with cheap batteries like these. Saving a few dollars on a battery isn't worth burning your home down.

-shipping makes these much more expensive, especially if you have to pay per item. It can almost double the price.

-not a perfect fit

After fighting the original batteries in my portable phones, they lasted just a couple hours, I found these batteries on Amazon.com. The price was right, it shipped quickly and after charging the battery it is working great. No problems
