This review is from: Sony NP-FM55H Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera (Electronics)

Battery was shipped from Ace Digital Club. This battery is struck in my camera and can not be removed without the camera having to go back for repair. It appears that this Sony Branded battery is different in length from the original supplied with the Sony A100.Camera is currently at a Sony repair center(now 5 weeks) to have this battery removed.

So now not only am I without a camera, I wasted approx $45 on a Sony branded battery that is now useless.

Sony apparently seem to be aware of the battery size issue but has not nothing to recall these batteries before others have the same issue as me.

Given the problems that other reviewers have reported with this battery jamming in the camera, it should be avoided. Sony appears to have replaced it with the NP-FM500H. The FM500H is compatible with the Sony A100, although the A100 can't display the InfoLithium information. The new battery has the additional advantage of being less expensive.

This review is from: Sony NP-FM55H Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera (Electronics)

Although this battery clearly was packaged as "Sony", it got stuck in my new Sony Alpha A-100 and did not fit well in my Sony charger for the same camera.

Looking at the back of the battery, commas were used instead of decimal points.

For these reasons, I believe that the batter that I received was what is called "gray market". It was not made for US market, and probably not even made by or for Sony.

However, I did receive a refund from the seller.
