I am impressed with the product and the value. The "off-brand" Bower batteries are actually rated at 1800 mAh in comparison to the 1240 mAh rating of the Sony branded battery. That is nearly 50% higher capacity. Does the charge last longer? My experience is that the charge lasts significantly longer. The charger itself is certainly not "of lower quality" as another post here suggests. I'm not sure what charger it is being compared to as so far, no one has seen a Sony charger for this battery. It charges from "empty" to full charge in about 1-1/2 hours. It also comes with an adapter for your car's power outlets and a European-style receptacle adapter. I have not tried either, but will see how well the charger works in a car. Being able to charge a spare battery in a car is a huge plus for people on the move. This same charger can be purchased for as little as $4.75 elsewhere by itself, and the batteries at $8.80. That compares favorably with the price of the kit here. The Sony brand batteries are list priced at $49.95 although you can get them for as little as around $32 on line. But that is still nearly four times as much for a battery that has less capacity. Yes, they are Chinese manufactured just as the DSC-RX100 is, and just as the OEM battery is. If is certainly possible that the OEM battery has a longer useful life, but the Bower battery has a 5-year guaranty. If the battery lasts 1/5 that long in daily use I will be happy--after all, they are a consumable. The camera itself has a 1-year guaranty and it is not "consumable." In summary, no one should avoid these products because they do not carry the Sony brand. They are well built and represent a solid value. I will not be buying a Sony battery at four times the price when I can obtain a product that is certainly worth more than 1/4 the price of OEM batteries.

I plugged in both batteries into my RX100 as soon as they arrived to check if they bore a charge then removed them immediately after to charge them. Battery indicator on camera showed full. It took about a little over or about 3 hours. Been using these batteries for quite some time now and can confirm that they are a good value. They've retained their ability to hold a charge with seemingly no loss in capacity. The ability to charge batteries with an external charger is something anyone who shoots a lot needs and this set is perfect. The included car charger cable allows you to charge from your car's power/lighter outlet. Have not needed to do so as with 2 spare batteries and the original battery that comes with the camera I can be out and shoot for a couple of days easy.

I bought this so I could take my RX100 to the Phililppines for a vacation and not need to worry about running out of batteries on long days. I couldn't be happier for the price and performance. I haven't used the charger, preferring to charge the batteries inside the RX100, so I can't speak to the charger quality. However the batteries are great. Pros: * Inexpensive * Decent battery life (80% as good as the Sony original) Cons: * Battery doesn't report charge accurately to the camera. It says it's fully charged until there is about 10-15% charge left, and then it rapidly drops to two-bars, then one-bar, and it's dead within about 20 minutes. I'd buy it again. The con doesn't outweigh the pros in my opinion.

This was a great deal! Two batteries and a charger, plus cleaning cloth and screen saver! I take a lot of photos and run through batteries quickly - having two extras plus a charger that does not require plugging into my usb (which the camera does to charge directly) is so convenient and helpful! This was a fantastic price - way better then what my local camera shop could offer, and they always have good prices, but this was fantastic. I wasn't expecting top quality at such a low price, so I was very pleased and happy with what I got - excellent quality and a fantastic deal. I would for sure buy again from these sellers, and would recommend this battery/charger set to anyone - and I am a professional videographer, so I am pretty selective in what I recommend! Thank you!!!

I have charged the two new batteries, and, indeed, they charged in about the time specified. I have not yet used either of them as I'm waiting for the original battery to discharge enough. Having two spare batteries is a nice plus, assuming they have the charge lifespan of the original battery. I don't believe the specs printed on the battery box of 1700 mAhrs. It's hard to believe that capacity in the same space as the original which is only rated around 1200 mAhrs. But, if it equals the original, then I'm very happy. The charger pieces slide together nicely, and once assembled, don't need to be disassembled as long as you stick with this one size battery. Having the car adapter is another very nice plus. This is how Sony should have shipped the camera - with an external charger. I don't plan to use the screen protector. It's a high-gloss one, while the screen itself has an anti-reflective coating on it. Since I take care of my cameras, I'll leave that off. So, overall, this is a very nice package, and if I see short battery life I'll amend this review later.

I bought my cybershot at a thrift store for $5. The battery wouldn't hold a charge anymore and the lense got stuck because of it. I'm guessing that's why they dumped this beauty at the thrift store! Anyways after fiddling with it for a few min, I got the lense to go back in and the camera worked wonderfully (except for the battery only lasting for a couple minutes). I just got my new batteries in the mail today, charged them up and they work perfectly! I have a nearly $500 camera and paid less than $20 total to get it up and running!! I now need to learn some photography!

I am always on the run with my camera and find myself needing batteries. Unfortunately I could not justify spending 60 per battery from Sony. I have used these batteries for almost 1 year now and they are still holding their charge great!. Although they don't last as long as the Sony versions, I seriously can't complain. The chargers work great and with three batteries I am set for a solid full day of shooting. Thank you very much for a great product! Justin @ Canadian Androids

Tardo poco tiempo en empezar a darnos algún problema, aunque reconozco que tenemos problemas de alteraciones eléctricas en casa, pues es lo que tiene vivir en el campo.

Quality product, good seller.

Does what it says on the tin, good value. Only thing that wasn't properly shown, however, was the fact that the battery charger - which is a US-oriented product - comes with a large, rather unwieldy UK/Euro adapter, rather than being equipped with a figure of 8 inlet. Could have been made a touch clearer in the listing.
