Less than half of stated battery life and half of Sony OEM
Purchased these when it was about $45.These are the same as many current (May-June 2018) aftermarkets packaged in the exact same lame generic blue/yellow DV battery box. Like the SmilePowo review I posted, batteries that come in that box are generally really bad and quality varies widely.I wonder who is making these and just slapping random names on the batteries... As soon as a bad review comes out they're off to another "brand".Tested one of the batteries in 4K continuous recording on the Sony A7III: lasted for 1:42The camera shutdown properly and ended recording so no file corruption.Battery probably has 1,125mAh 8WhStated 2,500maH and 18WH which is overstated by more than 2x - very cheeky!Sony OEM is 2,280mAh and 16.4Wh and lasts for almost 3 hours.This battery lasts half as long as Sony OEM.Realistically this is only good for 1:30hr of recording to avoid any problems.Battery life after each 30mins0:30 - 70%1:00 - 22%1:30 - 0% (@1:26 - 0%)1:42 - 0% shutdownPurchase price per battery was about $202 stars for vastly overstating capacity and poor battery life.That being said, they get 1/2 the battery life for 1/4 the cost, no file corruption (yet) and charger seems to work.Personally I'd rather get something that has more battery life, avoid this.
F**.
it seemed to be too good to be a good deal
At first glance, it seemed to be too good to be a good deal. Indeed it was. The charger is a bit loose for the batteries if you intend to use it inside of a backpack for example, and the batteries themselves last only about 1h50m recording 4k on an A7III, 2/3 of a Sony battery. If you're ok with that considering the pricing, that may be a good deal considering you will have 2 batteries and a charger for both.UPDATE: The battery percentage reading on camera sometimes seems inaccurate. A battery with 8% showed 35% after turning the camera off and back on.
