If you have a Sony W&H series digital camera, then Sony NP-FG1 battery is the one to use for it. This lithium rechargeable battery has been raking rave reviews from its customers and rightly so.

A dying battery is the greatest concern among the digital camera users. There have been many times when it failed you right in the middle of an important shoot. The battery indicator does show you the amount of energy left pictorially, but that is misleading a lot many times. People have often assumed many more minutes to the battery than it can actually provide. Sony NP-FG1 aims to eliminate this problem by displaying the remaining battery charge in minutes. This 6.4 ounces infoLITHIUM camera battery can actually show the number of minutes left to shoot.

This is a great feature for a battery considering the hassles a low battery charge introduces in travels. The Sony NP-FG1 info LITHIUM camera battery is a lot suitable for long travels. It takes slightly longer to charge for the first time, say about 3-4 hours, but provides a battery life of as long as 170 minutes. Of course, you can see how many minutes left as and when the time passes, thereby, being ready for it all the while. During long travels, it saves you the concern of spare batteries and getting your battery frequently charged.

One limitation of Sony NP-FG1 camera battery is that it will display the minutes only on an infoLITHIUM logo camera. This ensures that no duplicates are sold and customers are not cheated. In all other logo cameras, this battery would only pictorially display the remaining energy like all other batteries.

The battery is also pegged on the expensive side costing the buyer a good $49.99. This might come as a surprise to many but if you have the required infoLITHIUM logo camera and an avid shooter, Sony NP-FG1 battery might as well be the answer to your woes. With such great feature, it is worth the investment.
