    Long life, it surprised me the positive way ;-)

    Reviewed by - November 20, 2025

    This original battery surprised me each and each time i used it, that's not much but that has nothing to do with the battery it was more the poor quality of the camera i used it on, yes it was a Sony camera and it was not the cheaper type. But that i will write in the camera review. This battery really surprised my in a positive way. Charging it goes smooth and then using it, it really seems to go on and on it seems never to get empty but finally it does. And then after charging it, again it seems to live forever. I do not know if it has to do whit a very low energy consumption of the camera or it has to do with the capacity of this battery, but never the less it is the one item that really does what you want from it and more

    BEWARE OF CHEAP KNOCKOFFS

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 27, 2018

    I bought this battery to replace a cheap knockoff provided as part of a camera accessory package I purchased. This battery charges correctly on my info-lithium charger and holds its charge. The previous battery would never fully charge and lost its charge very quickly. It failed in service (at a critical point, I might add) at a very young age!

    Lots of Power

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - October 22, 2017

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This replacement battery was a great investment. Fully charged, I run out of space on my camera internal memory and memory card before I run out of battery power. During my trip I videoed every day, once filling up the memory card and having to switch to internal memory - the battery went the distance.

    Keeps your camera going!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - May 11, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always using Sony batteries with Sony products guarantees the best performance. I have a few of the batteries charged and ready for backup whenever I need. It’s terrible to run out of power when you need it most. Do yourself a favor and buy extra so you don’t find yourself in a similar situation.

    Looks like a great battery with long life

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - August 22, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well it is a bit bigger than my dad's other batteries he has, but it has more capacity and he can use his camcorder longer without having to recharge his battery. He actually was thinking of buying a replacement battery for the camera. He is hard person to shop for and will make a great gift.

    Exact Match for our Original Sony FDR-AX33

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 17, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect match to go along with our original battery that came with our FDR-AX33 video camera. I film a lot of sport games for both our sons and daughter. This extra battery comes in handy so I can keep filming. Lasts just as good as the original for hours of recording.

    Great

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 2, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simply put it does what it is made to do.I bought this so I can use only 1 battery to film a long event like THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE without worrying about a smaller battery running out of power.This battery can last over 3 hours on 1 charge.I got it on sale too.

    Spare Battery - Original Replacement

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 13, 2025

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This battery is the original battery and worked very well with my camcorder. There is no difference in the usage time when compared with the original battery that came with the camcorder. Highly recommend this product for anyone thinking to buy a spare battery,

    It works well

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 4, 2017

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a back-up don't rely on cheaper off-brands. My experience is that they work great out of the box but don't keep up after several recharges. At least find packs with Japanese made cells like this one. So far they are the standard bearer for reliability.
