Sony NPFH100 H Series Actiforce Hybrid InfoLithium Battery for most Sony Camcorders Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Large Capacity
Comment: If you're looking for a long lasting battery - this is it! It does take a while to charge up, but it lasts a long time and its worth it. Everyone complains about the size of the battery, I'm using it on the Sony HDR-HC7 camcorder and it balances the camera nicely. Based on other feedback I was expecting it to be bulkier than it actually was and considered buying one or two of the smaller batteries instead but I'm glad I didn't. This one is all I need and feels good on the camera.

Summary: Lots of power. Its huge!
Comment: The numbers don't lie. My SR12 cam came with the H50 (900mah) and I got less than an hour worth of recording. This huge thing is claimed to be 3900mah so it'll last for about 4x as long. Only problem is that its huge! Its depth is 2" compared to the 3/4" of the H50. So if your current battery is the H50 and its flush with the tail end of the device then it'll stick out 1 1/4". Thats not very sexy and now its longer than the carrying case (not Sony) I bought for the camera. The size would not deter me from getting another battery if I needed it.

Summary: Love video taping
Comment: I've only had my camera and battery for a little over a month but I've already used it to video tape the high school graduation, 4th grade moving up ceremony, summer music concert and the summer theater show. Three out of 4 of them I had access to an electrical outlet but chose to try out the battery. I'd still had plenty of life in the battery. I highly recommend it if you're going to video tape anything longer than an hour. I'm so glad I bought it especially when I go on vacation. And, the price was a lot better than the local store.

Summary: Amazing battery life compared to the original battery
Comment: I ordered this because a friend recommended I get an extended battery since the battery that came with the SDR-SR11 had about an hour of battery life. This camcorder shows about 350 minutes of recording when I plug in the fully charged NPFH100. I have yet to use down under 200 minutes yet. Hopefully I will get a chance once I am on my vacation.

Summary: Max Time but with a $$PRICE$$ and weight!
Comment: We got this battery because the OEM battery is a joke from SONY. Why would you ship a battery that lasts just over an hour with a 60 GIG HD camcorder? It did cost a pretty penny, but you get 6-10 hours of record and playback time on one charge.

The biggest con is the size and the weight of the battery! I can't even get my eye to the viewfinder because it sticks out so far! A small price to pay when you don't have to worry about the battery going dead.

Overall, I would say that if you are going on vacation and need (or want) a lot of battery life, then this is the one for you. Why go with the mid-range battery when for a couple bucks more you get the monster! For anyone who thinks it is not worth the money, have a battery go dead one time...can't go back and record it later!
