is this a real sony battery or a fake one?

I carefully examined the battery and I believe it is real. It charged up properly and lasts as long as my other battery.

I have ordered 3 of them & it worked well. It says at the back made in Japan.

The battery sold by Amazon.com is genuine, same good quality as the original one with the camera body. Not sure about the other ones sold by other vendors though...

Unfortunately you can never know for sure, because different sellers sell the batteries under the Toshiba part number, and some of them are real and some are not. I got one of these from Laptop Parts (laptopsparts) and it was the genuine Toshiba battery. But this is a different seller and a different ad, so I can't say for sure. It sounds like the real thing, though. The seller is actually Toshiba so if they say it's the real thing it better be.

Ditto - this is a counterfeit battery. I compared the holograms and they are different and the label looks like it was applied by hand.

The battery that I purchased from GizGalaxy is counterfeit. The package, and battery say Sony, but pay close attention to the battery. The one I received says "SONY COPP." instead of "SONY CORP.", like the original battery that I purchased back in 2000. Sony does not make mistakes like this on their products. This is most likely a Chinese knockoff being sold as a genuine product.

The one I received said it was manufactured in China. It had a Nokia brand label on it with the Nokia hologram sticker on it, but I have serious doubts it was an authentic battery. Apparently from my research on this battery, it's nearly impossible to know if you will receive a truly authentic OEM battery. It's basically a coin toss.

The one I received was an actual Canon battery. I tried it out already with charging and using it and it is fine. I am happy.

It means non Original Equipment. In other words, you will not see Sony on the battery itself. That said, mine works great... charges, hold charge, good discharge rate. Most often ( if not always), brand name batteries are actually made by third-party manufacturers, acquired by the computer brand (e.g. Sony), then affixes the Sony label on them, then sells them as OEM. Marketing stuff...

Not sure, but beware, this seller claims that these are original sony parts, I dont think they are, the photo is deceptive, the product looks like a cheap chinese fake, seller in China, product is 2/3 the size of my original equipment, sony label looks fake, and tiny spark when plugged in to wall socket everytime, every socket, I dont reccomend.

As far as I know its real. Holds a charge as long as the one I got with the camera and looks the same. I am satisfied with it.

Not sure about fake or what but it does work and work well. I have charged all kinds of batteries with it and have not had any issues.

All of the packaging, hologram, etc appeared genuine and the battery has performed as a new Canon battery should, i.e. takes a ton of pictures before needing a recharge. i have no reason to suspect it is not genuine Canon.

It is a replacement battery for my sony vizio laptop. It is not made by Sony. Made by someone in China. I'm not looking at it at the moment. Seems to be working/charging fine after a month. Can't say I would recommend it or not though. Haven't had it long enough.

I believe the battery is a genuine Panasonic battery. I matched the original battery with the one bought I bought in aftermarket. Both batteries are the same. Both batteries function the same. The duration of charge and the camera readings are the same.

It is good to be skeptical about this. I purchased one that was labeled Canon but was really a fake through a third-party retailer on Amazon. Fortunately, Amazon took it back. I'd like to think Amazon is only selling genuine merchandise but I cannot tell you about this particular one. Fortunately you can return it if you have any concerns. When you get it, take a good look at the front and back of the battery and it should be obvious if it is a fake but they are getting better. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Buy the battery sold by Amazon directly. I think there are 3 listings in total. You are likly to get a fake battery 99% of time buying from a 3rd party. I went through 2 of these batteries on eBay and one other one here on Amazon and all of them claimed to be authentic but none of them are.
