These are fun.  No problems at all after a couple of years.  Love the USB option.  Sometimes I send one of these batteries with my girlfriend so she can keep her phone charged.

Great batteries.

Great design, but unfortunately on FX9 it discharges very rapidly. When you first power on, the percentage starts to drop at about 1% every 2 seconds or so for the first minute. Then 1-2% or so very minute or so, but finally stabilizes after losing 20-25% of the initial charge. Then it's stable for a while. When it drains down to the last 25-30% or so, it again starts to drop rapidly, I purchased two of these and both acted the same way. I either received two from a bad batch, or this is how they all behave on Sony FX9 cameras. I returned them and purchased Sony BP-U90. 100% satisfied with these as they actually run and perform as you would expect.

Great design, not a great battery (for FX9).

Ordered for the Sony FS5 Mark II. First battery arrived dead and would not charge with the OEM charger. Second battery has the same problem. The price is right, but time is money too. Save both and go for something else.

Two Batteries Dead on Arrival

Having a D-Tap on an internal battery option like this is a lifesaver for my solo run and gun shoots.  Being able to Power my Atomos Ninja V from the same power source as my camera keeps it much lighter.  Sometimes I don't want to have my whole shoulder rig set up to be able to use my Anton Bauers to power everything.
