5.0 out of 5 stars Great Upgrade Battery, June 19, 2008

I purchased this upgraded battery for my Sony DSC-W150. The reason I bought this battery is because it actually shows how many minutes are left before the battery dies. The battery that comes with the camera (NP-BG1) shows a simple diagram of how much battery life is left, whereas this one (NP-FG1) gives you actual minutes. I think this is a great feature for a battery. The charge takes a while maybe four hours for the first charge, but after it was fully charged I had almost 3 hours or 170 minutes of battery life available. These batteries are expensive, but I think they're worth the investment. No complaints here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have InfoLITHIUM logo, July 23, 2008

This battery is a great rechargeable battery. I found it appealing b/c you are able to view the remaining battery life in minutes. A word of caution, you are only able to view the remaining battery life ONLY if you use it with electronic equipment having the InfoLITHIUM logo. If your equipment doesn't have the logo, the capacity will not be displayed in minutes. Otherwise, it's a good battery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sony NP-FG1, June 8, 2008

Well, it's a battery and it works. I purchased this as an extra for my H50 digi cam. I always buy OEM when I can because I do like knowing I can count on decent quality from Sony.

The one that is in my camera right now I have been using for six days with a lot of shooting and playing with controls, as my camera is fairly new, and it has just dropped down to less than half of availability. I find that above acceptable for battery time, so I am very pleased.

I also appreciate that it comes with a nice, perfectly sized, hard plastic case for storage when not in use.
