After soldiering on with weak batteries that would last 1/2 hour at best, I invested in two NP-F570 batteries for my ancient
(by digital standards) FD-97 Mavica. The "battery minutes left"
time readout starts at 208 min on a full charge play mode,
(178 min record mode,) and counts down so slowly (it's obviously not calibrated for this new tech battery) that I think 3 1/2
hours of playing time is not out of the question. The second
battery was almost superfluous, but I'm glad I bought it anyway.

Purchased the NP-F570 to replace an NP-F530 for my Sony CCD-TR910 12+ year old Hi8 analog camcorder. Received the battery from Amazon promptly, charged it up and it worked like a champ! Although the same physical size as my old battery, it appears to have almost TWICE the capacity. I had first bought a Hi Capacity brand battery from another online battery supplier at a much lower price that was advertised as a replacement for mine. However, it seemed to be defective - it did not charge. Turns out that, according to the supplier, the "replacement" battery is not "InfoLithium" and will therefore not charge in my original Sony InfoLithium charger. They certain didn't say anything about that in the online description... I've learned my lesson and will stick with Sony replacement InfoLithium batteries. Amazon's price was quite reasonable compared with retail, especially with free shipping!

After shopping in local stores, I could not believe the price of this battery. My other 2 have lasted over 4 years with use every day. When I found these exact same batteries here online for less money and a very fast response time I ordered them and am very happy. They come in original packaging from Sony and work fantastic.

A battery is a battery and has only one function - to power something. Sony batteries have always performed great for my applications. This battery is replacing one that worked hard for over six years.

excellent vendor with product in stock as promised...... excellent vendor offering an original equipment factory sealed product, (not a knock-off) at a huge discount from local retailers..... thanks again for this great bargain
