The Powerextra NP-FZ100 Replacement Battery and Dual LCD Charger set offers both convenience and value, but it comes with a few caveats.
Firstly, the inclusion of two batteries is fantastic, providing extended shooting time for my Sony camera without worrying about running out of power. The 2500mAh capacity is decent and gets the job done for most shooting sessions. The dual LCD charger is also a handy addition, allowing me to charge both batteries simultaneously, which is a time-saver, especially when on the go.
However, there are some drawbacks worth mentioning. While the batteries hold a decent charge, I noticed that their lifespan seems to diminish slightly quicker than the original Sony batteries. Additionally, the build quality of both the batteries and the charger feels a bit flimsier compared to the original equipment. I’ve experienced occasional issues with the charger not recognizing the batteries properly, which can be frustrating when trying to charge them efficiently.
Overall, the Powerextra NP-FZ100 Replacement Battery and Dual LCD Charger set offer a good balance of power and convenience at a reasonable price. It’s a worthwhile option for photographers looking for extra battery capacity without breaking the bank, but be prepared to deal with some minor reliability issues along the way.
The product is as is at the end of the day. It’s a generic battery and charger. I use it as a backup to my genuine Sony battery just in case I run short. The charger has both a built-in USB cable as well as an external charger cable which was nice to see.
They seem to be fine in my camera. I’m not going to send lots of money on an original if this does the job. The display is easy to read. You can easily tell which batteries are full and which are still charging. Overall, I’m very happy with this product.
These batteries are doing their job fantastically. This is my second round with this brand, and I’m still giving them a thumbs-up. Okay, they might not have the stamina of the original batteries, and yeah, you’ll get that famous “not using the original battery” warning, but guess what? I paid less for two of these bad boys and a charger than I would for one of the original ones. Bargain!
Now, I’ve got a couple of genuine Sony batteries, and they’re the real MVPs, no doubt. But when I needed some extra juice, I go for these budget ones.
Quick side note: After all these years, only one of the batteries from my first order is still working, and it’s doing it well. But, hey, I’m forgetful when it comes to charging, so I had to grab some more. Oh, and these new ones seem to lose a few percentage points of charge every week, unlike the OGs. But hey, they’re still keeping my cameraalive!
