Kastar NP-FM50 Batteries for Sony - Review and Read World Testing

[@aidan9958]

Not bad! I wish I had watched this earlier. I purchased 3x Sony NP-FM500H batteries from Sony directly, and they're far superior to the original NP-FM30 batteries that came with my TRV265E and TRV480E Handycams. I yielded about 300 minutes of recording time on both cameras using the same battery (instead of 70 minutes from the FM-30) which is great. I'm surprised Sony still make these batteries in Japan. Sounds like they weren't intended for Handycam (rather the Alpha DSLR series) but are fully compatible anyway.

Got Kastar batteries for my cordless Panasonic phones. Wasn't sure about the brand but based on your review it looks like I made the right choice.
