Title: Replacement for Sony Li-ion NP-F970 Battery
Post by: dactylus on March 14, 2016, 06:09:29 AM

When the price is too good to be true then it must not be a suitable replacement for the original.  Or is it?  Two of these batteries for $40.49 shipped.

Have any of you used this brand?

Haven't used that brand.  I am using this brand in my Canon, Sony, and GoPro cameras with no issues so far:

Don't waste your money on those,stick with the real Sony one,i had a knockoff and it died during a multicam shoot not worth the gamble at all.Showed 200 mins and than drooped to like 16mins and just died.Never worked again.

I've been using the LENMAR LIS970P batteries for 10+ years now and they work like a champ...

I purchased two of those LENMAR LIS970P 7800mAh batteries in December 2010 for $29.12 each.  Both of those batteries are still in good shape.  I would like to obtain a few more of these before they completely disappear from the market.  Target has them for $57.99 ea with free shipping.
