Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony NPFH50 H Series Actiforce Hybrid InfoLithium Battery for most Sony Camcorders and A230, A330 and A380 Alpha DSLR (Retail Packaging)Customer Review: Good battery life... no warning when power is almost out. Summary: 4 Stars
Got this as a spare battery for my Alpha 390. Overall it has performed as expected. As with all batteries, you should charge it befor using if it's been a few days since the last charge and it hasn't been used since. I gave it 4 stars because at one point I had been using my camera and it just died on me in the middle of a shoot right after I had looked at the battery icon and it said it had about half its battery power left. It just died on me with no warning at all. Luckily I popped the other battery in and continued shooting, but the whole thing with the battery dying with no warning whatsoever was so annoying I almost returned the camera. In the end, I didn't bcs I realized I had used it to take more than 265 pics over a week without charging between uses, plus viewing all those 265 pics after taking them and deleting some. About 100 of those shots where also long exposures in the Bulb setting of the camera. So... Overall, the battery life was pretty good. BUT I still think any battery should give some sort of warning that it has little power left.
One more thing... And I am writing this bcs I know a lot of us don't read the instruction manual or don't read the basic parts, such as charging the battery. At least with my A390, the charger turns on an orange light, which means it is charging. Then, it turns on a yellow light... which must mean it is fully charges, right? Wrong. The yellow light comes on when the battery has reached a "Regular" charge, whatever that is. If you want a FULL battery charge, you must continue to charge it for an HOUR after the yellow light has turned off. This is counterintuitive to say the least, but when I read this, right after the incident with the camera dying on me, I was very impressed. More than 265 shots over the course of a week and it wasn't even fully charged? To me, that is great battery life. Still should give a warning when power is almost out.
I should also add that I saw this at SonyStyle and it sells for $65, about twice what I paid for it.
