Only an a/c outlet is better!
(5 out of 5) by tron3 on Jul 13, 2005 (New Jersey)Features 30% more stamina than the NP-F960 rechargeable battery pack.
I bought this AFTER spending half a day shooting with a Sony FX1 in very cold weather with my NP-F960 battery. Between the pausing and occasional power down, the battery survived this bitter cold day with LOTS of juice left over. So imagine what this NP-F970 can do for you.
I have the NP-F960 clone battery, and it isn't holding a charge as good in storage.
My only beef is waiting for it to fully charge. If you are a serious videographer, or use the Sony HVL20DW2 20 watt video light, this is a definite "must have".

MUST HAVE
(5 out of 5) by R. Crutchfield on Jan 5, 2007 (Palm Desert, CA)For a large camcorder like my Sony FX7 this adds nice rear "ballast" for balance and EIGHT HOURS taping time! I use it for long shoots and the small one that comes with the cam for short home stuff.

If you need to be out all day, this works
(5 out of 5) by DGC on Jan 9, 2007 (USA)300 plus minutes of recording time (without LCD). I still got several hours with the LCD, backlight on.
For when you are out all day, this is a good long lasting battery.
On the HDR-FX1 I found it preferable to the smaller and lighter battery as it helped provide a touch extra rear weighting. That helped balance when using the camcorder at hip height for me. I can't say I noticed the extra weight as an issue when using at shoulder height, though I didn't have it on my shoulder for long periods at a time.

Long life battery
(5 out of 5) by Samuel Cantu on Aug 19, 2009 (Dallas Tx)I shoot photography and video for weddings and i go thru tons of batteries. Ive had this one for two years and i never need to bring another battery along. ive never come close to running out. Highly recommend it.
Excellent choice
(5 out of 5) by James400 on May 22, 2009 (Jersey City, NJ United States)I am very happy with this battery. Doesn't take too long to charge and retains the charge for long. I would recommend this item.
