This is a great battery for a low low price. Fits my panasonic pv-dv600 Mini-DV recorder as advertised. Replaced battery cgr-d16. Charges in a few hours in the original charger and and lasts a long time.

I bought this as a back-up battery to help film a wedding, but I quickly discovered that this battery works even better than the original Panasonic battery that came with my camera. Of course, this has a higher mA rating than the original, so a longer life is to be expected. I normally opt for the brand-name batteries, but I completely urge anyone to buy this instead of the brand-name and you'll save lots of money too!

I saw reviews that said it didn't work for them, but I had no problems. Just make sure your Panasonic battery is a CGR-D220 or CGR-D16. It will say on the battery. If it's not one of those two Panasonic batteries, this won't work for you.

Heck, *if* you could find an OEM battery for a 6 year old camcorder, it would cost you half the price of a new camera... This is a fine alternative, it does the trick for a good price.

I was looking to replace my worn out panasonic battery that came with my camcorder and found this one. This battery works great with my camcorder and is compatible with the original panasonic charger as well. It lasts way longer than the original panasonic battery. Overall great battery.
