anyone tried these on a Sony FDR AX33, I heard of some Sony camcorders only working a couple minutes and shutdown with message "non Sony battery"

I have used these batteries on my AX33 and they work fine. I think the AX33's firmware does not perform a check for the battery type. Panasonic took a lot of heat for this sort of thing a few years ago - and ultimately took out the battery check. I think most manufacturers learned their lesson from that.

I got like 300 pictures and 5 minutes of video on the alkaline batteries that came with my camera. ... My rechargeable Energizer 2300mAh nimh batteries seemed to be doing about the same. (surprisingly ... I usually get better performance out of the rechargeable, but I may have been using an old / worn out set)

I have this same problem, I have bought the XR260V, but I found the battery is so weak with FV50, I can't imagine why the camcorder is packed with the lowest capacity one by the manufacture.

I have a hdr-cx160 sony camcorder. The battery I purchased is a after market unit that charges, and fits the camcorder perfectly, however, it will only run the camera for approx. 1 minute and then the sony camcorder rejects the battery as non-sony and shuts down. Therfore , I cannot give any information an the running time of this battery.Hope you find someone with a better experience than I.R.B.

Sorry I can't help. The Sony is used in an old Panasonic (i think) and works good. I was given the old camera without a charger or battery or else I would have bought a digital.

Sorry can`t help. I got the batteries they worked great. Two days later I lost the view screen. "I am kind of greedy" keeping the batteries just in case we find another cam the same as we had. My bad it took so long to respond. T.B.

i don't know. owners manual says take them to a sony dealer. we have had them over a year and haven't needed to change batteries. i bet a battery specialty company, either real or online, could answer this.

I had a similar problem. The sony analyst walked me through power resetting and pulling batter + memory card. None of the checks corrected the problem. I used the 'tap it on a hard surface' technique and it is back up and working. The pulling the camera lens did not work so the tapping technique will be used until we tap it into its grave.

I've been using AA rechargeable batteries (Eneloop) with AA to D adapters. After a fresh charge on a decent charger (I have the Sony model BCG34HLD2RN), when inserted into the WSCA03 there is a reading of 90% battery power. And the camera operates on them just fine, both photos and videos. So it may not be supported by the manufacturer, but it works for me. Someone mentioned that alkaline batteries are 1.5v. That's only true at their peak, when brand new. That figure drops as they are used.

I don't know about your camcorder, but for my camcorder it would not work. I have a Sony DCR-DVD 92 and it uses a much bigger battery InfoLithium NP-FP90 7.2V

The batteries was good, but I plan on getting a La Crosse Technology BC-700 to check and make sure.I highly doubt the battery goes bad after a few charges. The temperature here in California is well between those figures.The bad one are from multiple brands..including SONY's! All are Ni-Mh.Thanks for the post :)I tried e-mailing sony, but got "you can try" and no response when asking if there are minimum battery levels.

I use this battery on an LED light source, not on a Sony camcorder. It is the standard replacement battery for Sony cameras. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Wow! Sony doesn't make it easy, I had to download the "HXRNX70U NXCAM Compact Camcorder" brochure to get the answer. Yes, the Sony NP-FV100 battery will work in that camcorder according to their brochure.

Hi Jocelyn, I am not sure if it the battery that you have works. Sorry I can't check it for you as of now, I threw away my camcorder sorry about that so I can't even answer your question. I believe you could try it out and see if it goes on. I think because it's a GR-AX model it probably will work.

I would think the NP-FV100 would work... I found the item below that says your model number for NP-FV100. So if that's true then any NP-FV100 model should work... I would check your owners manual or Sony Web site to be 100 percent sure for NP-FV100.

I had the same concern when placing the order. It turns out to be real Sony product and worked extremely well for me in Africa. I could shoot movies with the camcorder for 3-4 days without charging the battery.

you probably have 'clone' battery & not an actual Sony battery--the clone batteries will work OK in the older cameras like the H50 or W150, but NOT in the 'HX" series like the HX5V or HX100V--this message pops up in the newer cameras taking this battery because their power requirements are much higher if it is a cheap 'clone'--you can even take a battery that has gone dead from an "HX" series camera and put it in an "H" series camera and still shoot several frames--this is why I mentioned in my review about being a real Sony battery--I am sure that what you have is a counterfeit battery
