"Fits SON.NP-BG1" is not authentic Sony brand. The photo is misleading and different from the product I received in the mail. The battery is SON.NP-BG1 instead of SONY. It is not "by Sony" like it stated in the description. The vendor is not honest about both the description of the product and the photogragh. "The seller has clearly misrepresented the condition or details of an item in a way that affects its value or utility, it is "materially different." I requested a full refund. I am glad that I bought this on Amazon or I would not be able to get my money back.

Just an excellent deal! The LiON battery lasts for sooooo many pictures, but once it's getting low on power - picture taking is over. Don't miss another shot - it's worth every darn penny - it comes with a plastic carry case to toss it in your pocket - NEVER put it in your pocket with coins or keys without the case!!! The battery terminals are exposed and they are all next to each other - easy to short out and wreck your battery.

I'm using this battery on a Sony Cybershot camera and have been extremely pleased. I'm carrying the camera on my belt each day and I'm finding this battery stays charged for weeks. Granted, I don't use the camera all the time but will, periodically, pull the camera out to snap a shot or two or take a short video of something. This battery just keeps going and going. It also recharges in about 4 to 6 hours (depending on how low it is).

I would recommend this to anyone. I bought an extra one simply so I could have an extra battery. For times that I know I'll probably use the camera a lot, I take the extra battery in my pocket (in it's plastic case). Then if I need it during the day, there it is.
