Great product

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017

My Previous comment was a negative one, However Upon receipt of my return and the exemplary customer service, I have changed my Rating. Not only is the product worth it's price, the customer service dept. Quickly returned a new order which works awesome. the batteries hold enough for approximately 400 pictures, and it charges the battery in a decent amount of time.

Battery Life is Extremely Short

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2018

I picked these up because I needed some spare batteries fast before traveling. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I'm pretty disappointed honestly. The battery life on these things is super short compared to OEM batteries. They also will not hold a charge while being stored for more than a day or two without completely draining.

If you don't mind short battery life and having a bunch of these floating around, then go for it. Otherwise, spend the $50 on the OEM batteries and get just as much battery life out of that single one.

Oh, and the charger that comes with these is super slow at charging up the batteries.

I'd steer clear!

1500mAh...??? EDIT: A++ Customer Service

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

**EDIT: I am leaving my original review below for reference. After writing said review, the company reached out to me to apologize for the issues I was having and try to amend them. They took the batch number of my current batteries and sent two new ones free of charge and basically immediately. The new ones DO last longer, a lot longer than the previous, however they’re still not the longest lasting batteries I have. With that being said, for the price, if you were to get ones from a solid batch, value for money is there. Their customer service was great too. I appreciate them reaching out and supplying me with new batteries that do last longer. Overall, currently satisfied**

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought these due to the nice price and the fact they’re 1500mAh. Unfortunately, that’s super hard to believe. I have Sony batteries, RavPower, and recently these. Two of these would barely last as long as one Sony battery. I get they’re third part, and 4 of them for half the price of one Sony battery, but man; the battery life on the a6500 is lackluster already, with these, there’s almost no point. After a fresh charge, at first use, just changing menu settings and saving presets on my a6500, the battery dropped 20%. I wasn’t even using the camera for more than 10 minutes, let alone the fact I was just setting up picture profiles and not even shooting. After trying to shoot video, battery dropped to 50% after a 2.5 minute long shot. Unless I for some reason for some bunk ones, these aren’t worth it.

The only thing I’ve liked is that the build quality is nice. Charger is meh, but they all are.

These batteries are wonderful.
They hold charge well and last a good while.
I am currently using them on a Sony A6000 and have been using them for the past week.
I had bought this brand of batteries seven months ago and those batteries still hold there charge as when I bought them.
I mainly do photography and I change batteries after 400-500 shots not draining them totaly.
Your mileage will vary depending on which body you are using.
I can verify that these will work on the Sony A6000, A6500 and A7 II ( tested on other camera's from colleagues)
A great buy!

Works, but is half the life of a regular Sony battery

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

It's nice to have a handful of extra batteries with the Sony Mirrorless that's for sure. Yet these batteries do not power my Sony A7R 2 for very long. I might be able to get 200 photos from each battery, yet I can get just over 400 from my Sony brand batteries..

The Powerextra are rated at 1500mAh, while the original Sony batteries are at 1020mAh so you'd think you'd get 50% more photos from these Powerextra but it ends up being more like 50% LESS.

update:
I got contacted by the manufacturer about the above review, so they sent me two more batteries, once again they just did not last very long, as a matter of fact shooting with these batteries (now all 6) in the winter I could only get 30 or so photos out before they dropped to 50%. For people like me who aren't good at math, that would make 60 or slightly more per battery. YIKES. I was refunded the money for the batteries so at least the manufacturer is quite responsive.

Batteries are weak and the charger is slow. I'd pass on buy this. Good customer service

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017

The batteries don't last anywhere as long as the Sony or Wasabi batteries that I have. When I got the batteries I charged them. Three weeks later I put them on the charger again and it took over 3 hours before they were fully charged compared to 15 minutes for my other batteries. I tried their charger in the car and the battery was still charging after 3 hours. Also the charger requires a cigarette lighter. Based on my review, the company contacted me and offer me replacement batteries or a partial refund. I was impressed that they contacted me and have given them a star for customer service.

HORRIBLE BATTERY LIFE

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

I recently aquired a Sony a7sii. It came with a single puffed Wasabi battery as well as an original Sony charger. Naturally, I went ahead and brought this set of PowerExtra on Amazon based on the amazing reviews. When they arrived, I immediately charged them all for use next day. Once the charger lit green, I tested the battery on the camera, saw the 100% reading, turned the camera off, removed the battery and store it in my bag. I did this for all four batteries. Imagine my surprise when the next day, at my brother's graduation, all batteries were between 70% and 85%. Even worst, I could not even get 45mins from any battery. So I decided to run a test at home. I charged each battery and then recorded the wall at 4k 24p. After 30mins, two batteries were at 7%, one at 10%, and the last one at 21%. By comparison, my buddies battery lasted over an hour (recordered 30 mins, let it cool down for 5 mins, recorded another 30 mins and there was still 6% left). I should point out that I waited 45mins between each test of the PowerExtra batteries to let the camera cool down. My conclusion? The batteries are thrash and have an actual capacity less than half of what is advertised. Stay away from them. Instead, get a Neewer, RAVpower, Watson, or even better, an OEM Sony.

Great life for photography!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

My fiancé shoots with a Sony a6500 and I shoot with a Sony a7ii. We have 8 batteries total! I love that these batteries have a great life for photography and they charge very quickly, they are a good size so it's easy to throw a few in each of our camera bags. He complains they're not great with videography, but since they're so good with photography it evens out for us. If you shoot mainly video, I'd get a couple sets honestly.

Can never have enough batteries

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

Bought for a summer of travel with new Sony RX-10 IV. Marvelous machine, and so easy to use it is on almost 25% of my time. In a Sifnos taverna, was up close and personal to six Storks. They roosted, orbited and fished, then roosted then fluttered about, then posed some more. Luckily I had the battery power to record almost 90 minutes of HD video. In Iceland, battery-life plummets below 5C, and I had seven backups, each only good for about 1 hour.
Don't leave home with 5 more batteries than you will need, because you just might need all that and more.

Great value for sony mirrorless cameras!

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Great value battery for the price. battery life is okay lasting about an hour and a half at most so I picked up about 8 of these batteries to be safe. Although I believe the battery issue is more of an issue with sony mirrorless cameras in general rather than wassabi. To conclude I would highly recommend these for the price and advise picking up two packs of four.
