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.

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

I purchased this as a back-up battery for my Sony camera. I was sort of skeptical about the quality, but after getting it in the mail and charging it up..you wouldn't know the difference in the name brand vs. this one. The only difference is the huge amount of money I saved by buying this one. Definitely recommend it.

This battery fit into my camera and the recharger easily. The the price it is a great back up battery if you are taking a trip with your Sony digital camera. Some people commented that the battery didn't fit the camera- but I didn't find that to be a problem.

This has been a great backup battery for my camera which was a necessity when we went to Omaha Zoo and my kids had me taking pictures of EVERYTHING!!

This battery worked as well if not better than the Sony battery that came with the camera...at about 15% of the price. Seller delivered sooner than promised.

I received this battery in a timely manner and at a very good price. I would definitely buy from these folks again.

This battery works perfectly with my camera. Simply charge it up and install. Very simple.
