 Not retaining the chargeApr 10, 2007
By P. Kaganis
This battery is supposed to charge to about 180 minutes. In July of 2006, my camera's original battery would not charge past 90 minutes so I bought this product and it charged to about 180 minutes. By January, the replacement battery would not charge more than 35 minutes which made it worse than my original battery that I used for 4 years! Amazon warrantied this battery for 1 year so I was able to get another replacement in March and have used it for one month so far. The charge has already dwindled to 160 minutes and am keeping an eye on it. I read somewhere that Sony may have rigged these batteries to last for only a certain time and if these batteries were manufactured at the same time, then that would explain why they're all dying so quickly. I'm not happy about this situation and I'm not ready to replace my camera just yet.

This is a Non-Sony battery packMar 11, 2010
By GK
The title of this item says it is Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium Battery, but what you are going to receive is a no name equivalent battery pack. The battery is not from Sony and does not have the same power ratings as that of the original battery that came with my camcorder. No where on the battery or on the box I find the name 'Sony'. The battery pack that I received is SN-NP-FM50/55H and was shipped to me by Eforcity. This very same no name battery pack is sold by this seller on amazon for $6.15 and I paid $17.82 + S&H.
So anyone planning to buy this item, beware, you are NOT going to get a Sony battery.
I tried charging this battery, it stopped charging at 155 mins and would not say the charge is full like the original did. I unplugged the power cord and plugged it back again after couple of mins. without using any battery power, the battery started charging again from 125 mins.
When contacted seller, I got an email asking if I would like a refund or replacement, but would not say if the replacement is going to be a original battery.

By B. Frizzell
When you recieve your order check the bottom of the battery to see the tiny sticker that says "refurbished" - nothing in the item description says anything about the item being refurbished - I feel deceived

This is NOT a Sony battery!Feb 25, 2010
By Karl Cepull
BEWARE! Even though the title of this item is "Sony NPFM50 InfoLithium Battery", it is NOT a Sony battery. It is a no-name knock-off. This company is lying to its customers and trying to sell you a cheaper battery under the guise of a the Sony brand name. I'm not sure how to report this to both Amazon and Sony, but this is "bait-and-switch" at its best. The battery arrived in an un-marked box, and "Sony" was not on the box nor the battery. I have a real Sony battery (that came with my camcorder), and this is NOT it!
When pushed to ship me what I had ordered (a true Sony battery), all the company would do is refund my money.

 Excellent battery life even in cold weatherDec 02, 2004
By J. Halladay
"outdoor enthusiast"
This is the battery I compare all other digital camera batteries to. I've owned many digital cameras from Nikon, Konica Minolta and Sony and the Sony NP-FM50 lasts the longest. I used this battery in my F707 on a climb of Denali in Alaska. At the 20,320 summit on a chilly evening my digital camera was the only one that still functioned out of three in our group thanks to the Sony NP-FM50! I own two batteries for my F707 but even on week-long backpacking trips I really only use one battery and I use the LCD on the camera for all pictures.
