5.0 out of 5 stars Shows you remaining minutes, August 22, 2009

This NP-FD1 battery is of the same size and capacity as the NP-BD1 battery that came with your Sony digital camera. This means it's slim and takes the same number of shots. The difference is the FD1 is an "InfoLithium" battery (Sony's trademark) and it tells you the approximate remaining minutes on the camera LCD screen. This estimate is not completely accurate, but does give you a rough idea of how much longer you can use your camera before battery runs down. Note that the indicator is number of remaining minutes, not number of shots.

BTW, while generic replacements for the BD1 battery abound (but I don't recommend using a non-OEM LiIon battery for safety reasons), I haven't seen one for the FD1, presumable because this one uses Sony's proprietary time-estimating technology.

Originally purchased a "look alike product" online. Would not hold a charge! Advice: Buy only OEM and don't waste $20.00. The product I ordered from Amazon was a sony product and worked flawlessly. Good product, best price and quick delivery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like the addition of time remaining, July 6, 2008

I was pleasantly surprised when I first inserted what I bought to be a backup battery for my trip and found it calculated the time remaining for battery life. It is now my primary battery.
Works like a charm in my Sony T70 camera.
