Home > Consumer Reviews > Sony NPF960 InfoLithium Camcorder Battery

I ordered the Sony Info-Lithium NPF960 battery but was sent a faux product. It is not Sony, nor is it Info-Lithium . Its a totally bogus li-ion (no mfr name is even on the battery). It does not work properly with my Sony Camcoder (no battery life monitor, etc). I wrote and asked the company to send me the Sony battery that I ordered from their Amazon ad, and was advised that the best they could do is a refund. so i'm returning the battery to them...the Sony ad isnt just misleading, its downright bogus !! Beware !!

I have two of these batteries in my case (along with the tiny one that came with my DCRVX2000 which I never use because it doesn't last.) This battery is great! Yes, it does add extra weight but I have never, ever run out of power during a film shoot. The cast and crew will burn out long before the battery does! If you just shoot some casual home footage, it might be overkill but if you, like me, end up shooting footage in locations where there's no handy electrical outlets, this battery is a welcome addition to your equipment bag!

I have owned this battery for several years, having bought it with my trv 27. It has always meet expectations and still does after years of use. this is yet another quality product from sony.
