(4 stars) - Sony NP-FG1 battery with strange charge path - how to fix it
I've decided to share my experience because some batteries might be not calibrated at factory, I suppose.

I've ordered two of these NP-FG1 at Amazon together with Sony H20 Camera for me this November because I purchased Sony W290 with such battery last year fow my wife and that battery is really good.

But with one of these two new I experienced strange issue: once I put it into charger then it took 30 min only until led turned off indicating charging completion. I was surprised because old one required couple hours for that.

I installed baterry into camera and turned it on. Suddenly camera indicated that battery life estimation is 169 min, buf after 2 minutes of working I saw blinking sign in the upper left corner on screen that indicated battery discharge. I put battery in the charger and tried to charge it again - the same story with 30 min.

Then I decided to fully discharge battery because maybe calibration wasn't done or done with issues. I started slide show that was lasting for 2 hours with blinking battery sign in the upper left corner on screen! Finally I saw "3 min" on the indicator, screen became black with white blinking battery sign in the center and then finally camera went off.

After that I put battery into charger, charging time was as expected and now battery is operating well.

(4 stars) - Rechargeable Battery Replacement Works Fine
Needed a new battery when the original battery began dying more and more often. Another reviewer noted that their replacement battery, like this one, had a very long charge life. I found mine to be average. It is definitely handy to have at least two on hand.

(5 stars) - The right one...
The battery was shipped to me in a timely manner. fits right in the my Sony Camera.

(5 stars) - The best battery life in the world
I enjoy Sony products because they are always high quality and in the photo arena give the capacity to produce amazing results. Additionally their Infolithium batteries provide the best shelf life and longevity. Consequently I prefer and typically purchase Sony, as in this case.

Amazon? I use Amazon because;
1. it is easy
2. typically the price is better (less) than anything available to me at retail stores
3. they often have products before anyone else
4. product reviews and detailed information is better than what I can learn from the box.
5. Service. Occasionnally a shipping or quality problem arises and with Amazon it is always quickly resolved! Awesome customer service! Even the partner vendors move fast and deliberately!

(5 stars) - Great little device
During a recent trip to scenic Colorado, I put this battery to the test, and it passed with flying colors. This device packs an added bonus of displaying how much time you have left on the charge. I got this battery as an extra so I could be recharging one while shooting pictures on the power of the other. The Sony charger is very simple to use. The battery and charger are an excellent combination.
