Digital camera reviews of Sony NP-FM55H Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

Digital camera Review: Obsolete battery
Summary: 1 Stars

Given the problems that other reviewers have reported with this battery jamming in the camera, it should be avoided. Sony appears to have replaced it with the NP-FM500H. The FM500H is compatible with the Sony A100, although the A100 can't display the InfoLithium information. The new battery has the additional advantage of being less expensive.

Digital camera Review: Performs better than advertised.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have had this battery since I bought the camera. I have charged it maybe 3 or 4 times. When we left on vacation for 2 weeks abroad I tried to get another as a back up but could not find one. So without any charger I pushed it to the limit. The result is 941 pictures on the highest jpeg setting. I generally turned the camera on and off as needed. A few times I forgot and it turned itself off. However I did not use the flash.

Digital camera Review: Questionable quality
Summary: 1 Stars

Although this battery clearly was packaged as "Sony", it got stuck in my new Sony Alpha A-100 and did not fit well in my Sony charger for the same camera.

Looking at the back of the battery, commas were used instead of decimal points.

For these reasons, I believe that the batter that I received was what is called "gray market". It was not made for US market, and probably not even made by or for Sony.

However, I did receive a refund from the seller.

Digital camera Review: Sony A100 Battery
Summary: 5 Stars

Our family has this camera and this battery came with it. So far, it's great! 1 charge can take about 750 pictures! It takes around 3 hours to charge the battery to "normal" and 4 hours to charge the battery to "full charge". If you aren't a pro photographer, you don't really need this battery. I haven't done the math yet, but the life of this battery seems longer than 750 shots. It lasts about 3 to 4 weeks when my family uses it. This is the best battery I've seen yet!

Digital camera Review: Sony Bad Batery
Summary: 1 Stars

Amazon has to look into the Sony Brand Battery NP-FM55H
There is a major problem with some these batteries they do fit into the camera. If one forces it into the A-100 DSLR you can not get it out.
The Camera has to be returned to Sony. Someone has to get to the bottom of this Sony Problem. You should stop sales on the Battery until Sony corrects the Problem and removes the defective uunits from the market.
