This battery is great.

(5 out of 5) by T. Goldsmith on Jan 12, 2008 (Milwaukee, Wi)
I bought two of these batteries and have been using then for about a year now and they charge quicker and last longer and are better than the original batteries that came with my camcorder.

If you want a leaky battery, then buy it

(1 out of 5) by Jimmy on Apr 26, 2009
I bought this battery for an older VHS camcorder and it worked excellent the first 4 days until it started leaking and battery power went down. Don't buy these no brand batteries, buy a named brand one like Duracell or you will regret it.

Not as good as stock.

Not a very good battery, but it is cheap.

It seems to overheat on the stock charger, Ni-mh and Ni-cd have different charging requirements. The run time is real short, around 15 minutes with my old camera. Lastly, it goes dead by itself in a couple weeks and needs recharging.

Charge doesn't last.

I didn't expect much for the price, but what I got was way below expectations. I can charge the battery fully then put it in the camera and playback a movie and within 10 minutes the battery is dead. I have an original battery that is over ten years old that lasts almost as long. To be fair though I an using a cheapo charger I bought as well, so it is possible that it isn't charging the battery fully. I did notice this battery is much lighter than the original though which makes me wonder about it's innards.
