After charging the battery, I wanted to test the recording time/stby time. Originally had a runing time of about 2 hours and not got more than 5 hours of stby time. Very pleased with this purshase. Genuine battery by Sony.

Got this battery in a camcorder bundle. I am very impressed. Got 2 full hours of recording out of it with lots of camera interactions. The battery still had more power to go... Would recommend if longer run times is what you need.
