Sony a700 battery November 2, 2008
Very nice battery for the Sony A700. It's a bit expensive but seems to hold its charge pretty well. I estimate that the battery can last a whole day but that would depend on how many shots you fire, review with the lcd screen, and how often you use the built in flash.

Sony NPFM500H Alpha Rechargeable Battery Pack
I purchased the Sony A220k DSLR camera, to upgrade my photography. Before my camera arrived, I ordered this battery for a spare back up. A friend of mine had ordered a Nikon DSLR and ordered a gernetic(sp)brand spare battery. He was not pleased with it and advised me to order the brand of battery of the camera that I was getting. The price that the seller offered, made it worth my while.

i bought some low price batteries, which i thought were a decent deal. i bought five. they worked ok in the beginning.
after aprox 5-6 cycles 1 battery was not recognized by the camera. and the others had a short life.li batteries should not crystalize and have a memory.
just keep all the paperwork and packaging until you know you have a good battery. even the real thing can have problems.
by the way i work for a living w/ rechargable battery products.
This battery belongs in your camera bag! October 16, 2008
If you shoot with a Sony Alpha, it is a good idea to keep a spare battery in your bag. That isn't to suggest that the NPFM500H doesn't hold up well in the field. In fact, I find that I regularly get several hundred images from a single charge, and that includes extensive previewing of images on the LCD.
Still, when the battery becomes fully discharged, it takes several hours to recharge it. Which is why you should carry an extra battery. If your primary battery loses charge you have a backup that will allow you to continue shooting. The beauty of lithium-ion batteries is that they maintain their charge over long periods of storage. So you can keep a spare in your bag for months and be confident that it can still power your camera.
In addition, if you purchase a Sony vertical grip for your dSLR Sony VG-B30AM Vertical Grip for Sony Alpha Digital SLRs, Sony VG-C70AM Alpha Vertical Grip or Sony VG-B30AM Vertical Grip for Sony Alpha Digital SLRs you will need a second battery as all three grips are powered by two NPFM500H packs.
I actually got a deal by buying the Sony ACC-AMFM11 Accessory Kit (Includes NP-FM500H Rechargeable Battery Pack and LCS-SC11 Case) for the Sony Alpha Digital SLR. This gave me a decent bag and a spare battery at a combination price.
