Sony InfoLithium Battery Replacements
Mike Schudel wrote:
Ok...I know that these Sony InfoLithium batteries can just die without warning. I have two NP-FM50 batteries and one won't charge to a capacity of more than 5 minutes...so that one is gone. The other will charge to about 45 minutes capacity. My question is this: Do the generic $18 replacements I see for sale have the info chip in them to accurately display the remaining time left to the camera? I just figure for the cheap price it *has* to be missing something and just want to make sure these are *exactly* like the originals. Or should I just go back and spend the $$$ for an original Sony battery? Thanks! Be careful - my son bought a generic......it lacks the info-chip and hence is unuseable on his TRV-33. Newer Sony camcorders *require* the InfoLithium chip, or reject the battery. (Your question probably should have been posted to rec.video) -Dave |

Be careful - my son bought a generic......it lacks the info-chip and
hence is unuseable on his TRV-33. Newer Sony camcorders *require* the InfoLithium chip, or reject the battery. (Your question probably should have been posted to rec.video) Thanks for the response. This is for a digital camera...the Sony DSC-S70 Cybershot camera which uses the NP-FM50 InfoLithium battery. I was leaning towards the Sony battery, but wasn't sure about the generic replacements. -- Mike S.
