Customer Reviews
Short Life
This battery is used in the Sony TX7 camera. I don't know if it's the battery or the camera, but the battery simply does not last very long. The camera manual says you can take a little over 200 shots or view x amount of photos. Combine the two of taking and viewing and the battery dies quickly. It really works out to being able to take less than half the amount of photos they claim.
The battery is costly. It dies faster than most other camera batteries. It takes about 2 hours to charge. And you need at least two or three batteries to carry with you because of the short life. But, the camera does take good pictures.
The bottom line is that you just don't have a choice if you want the TX7 camera.
Great Replacement
I bought this battery as a back-up for my new Sony Cybershot camera. I keep it in the carry case ready to be used when the other one dies. No problems with this new one. The only issue I can say is be careful when inserting the battery. The "N" battery is thinner than the model for my older Sony camera and you can easily insert it the wrong way. I spent several minutes thinking my brand new camera was broken because the battery latch would not close. Then I realized I was putting it in the wrong way.
Battery Usage
I used the battery almost every other day. I bought a charger and used it extensively on my trip. It kept the charge for almost a day as I took rapid picture taking during the day. I was so glad I had the second battery. Mine kept the charger a lot longer than AA batteries.
