Has anyone tested it on a Sony Nex 5R? If so is it identified as a battery and turns the camera off after a while? Want to use it for 12h straight...

The camera, when in video mode, turns itself off after about 25 minutes when connected either to this power supply , or on battery... not aware of a work around or hack to change that .... good luck ... let me know if you find a work around

Yes it works with the 5R. If you're doing a time lapse then it will not turn off but if the camera is on standby it may do, but I haven't tried this.

Can't speak on a nex 5r, but I used it on a nex 5n for about 14 hours today for a time lapse. It stayed charged. The battery seemed full when it started an empty by midday, but it kept going until I shut it down.

Hi! I ended up using rechargeable sony batteries... they lasted a long time...and I always kept a spare pair... I didn't want a missed photo opportunity!My new camera has a different kind of lithium battery that needs its own charger... It's annoying because if the battery loses all its charge, I can't just throw in a couple of duracell AA's and keep shooting photos... I have to wait for a recharge ... or buy an extra battery for several $$$ I hope this helps! ps... I also know that cold temperatures really knock down battery life.

I have both a nex6 and a7r. These batteries work great for both cameras. They're rated at 1500mAh vs sony's own 1080mAh so in theory they should last longer. I've not done any tests to really confirm this, but at the very least, these batteries seem to work just as well as Sony's.

I don't know if you are referring to the battery or the camera? I find the battery does not last long, which is why I bought this additional battery as back up. I keep it with me while I am photographing. If you review your photographs on the camera after you take them, it uses up a lot of battery power, so I do not do that. Depends upon how many photos you take. If I am out all day photographing, the battery might last for one day.

I have 2 of these to extend the battery life of my two Canon 580 EXII flashes when we are on location shoots. I only shoot with a t1i and have the battery grips on both my main and back-up camera so I can use two batteries. I have had the cameras last for 6 hrs without ever being turned off and have never had them drain a fully charged set of batteries.

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.

I haven't experienced any battery drain issues so far and I have been using it since September 2012. I've been able to use this camera several times on one charge, even shooting in continuous mood with great battery life. I haven't updated the firmware on my camera either. I'd suggest you contact Sony and see what they can do for you or return it for a replacement since you just purchased this camera.

Yes, unfortunately, I can confirm that this does NOT work with NEX-6. I bought one and found out. The camera puts up a message saying something like "wrong battery type, insert correct battery" and pretty much refuses to function. There is no problem with the battery door as @Tim guessed. Physically it fits just fine. Somehow the NEX-6 is not getting what it needs in terms of signals.

Thank you Guys for all your answers. Just want to ask one more question. When is the time to recharge it to prolong its lifespan? When it is completely dead, when light is red when pressing that little button or should I rely on camera battery status?

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.

hmm- good question. I did not pay attention to that. I have been using the battery for a few weeks now and its working fine-holds a longer charge than the default camera battery that comes with camera from Sony.

I shoot as much as I want with the camera, let it lay around for several weeks, then shoot another series of pictures on a later weekend outing. I've never run out of charge, but I do keep a spare battery in the carrying case. When I get a little nervous about the charge remaining, I'll put the battery in the charger overnight. I've been curious to see how long a battery will last but always chicken out and put the battery in the charger before it's discharged. I don't use video as a rule and haven't tried to pause and shoot stills.

Put it this way, I went to the water park in orlando and had the camera on non stop for at least 4 hours or more whilst I was taking pictures and videos, and when I wasn't I still left it on. I took the extra battery that I charged prior to the visit that came with the kit I purchased, thought ill need it but didn't use it, in fact when we went back to the hotel and rested we went to another theme park where I used the camera and the battery was still fine, the camera shows the battery sign on the screen like a phone so you are able to see when its running low. Hope this helps but if you really want to know exactly how long it lasts time wise I can test it at home just let me know, also if you want to see how the pictures it takes looks like under water and above water ill be more than happy to email them just let me know, you won't regret purchasing this camera for real

Having purchased this battery, I reviewed it based on the fact that when I used it in my camera, occasionally during the shoot, the camera simply wouldn't fire. I'd then turn the camera off and then back on, shoot a few more frames, then same thing. I've since acquired another Canon brand battery, and retired this one to use as a "backup backup backup." After all, you never know, and if you truly run out all of your batteries and still need to shoot, having an unreliable battery is still better than having no battery at all. How long does the battery last? Can't say. . . got too frustrated with its unreliability to keep using it until it died. Sorry.

I have had no problems with this battery. I shoot sports pictures. I typically take 200 to 300 at a time. This battery and the one that came with the camera have both preformed flawlessly. I have one in the camera and one fully charged in the bag. When I get home and edit the pictures before posting I also swap the batteries and recharge the battery I just removed from the camera. I have zero experience with using my SLR camera for video. Probably 400 pictures would be okay from my experience. If this is a replacement, and you typically take 400 - 800 in a one day shoot, Then your level of use is enough to warrant buying two batteries and feeling secure. Good Luck.

Robert R.: What did you "figure out" that required "no further comments"?! This is so frustrating trying to figure out which Sony batteries to order. Exactly which battery did you get to fit securely and is the "included battery adaptor" that "wimberleynerd" mentions needed? If so I didn't get one. Please explain. Thanks. SM
