I bought this Lenmar LISP70 battery at another website for $[...] (June '08), but I ordered and paid for the Sony NP-FP71 generic equivalent, a slightly higher-capacity battery than the 'FP70 that was shipped. So far, it works just as well as the original Sony NP-FP50 that was supplied with the camcorder, but I am concerned that the Lenmar does NOT fit snugly against the camera's body like the original battery. This physical sloppiness may cause the four electrical contacts at the bottom of the battery pack to eventually lose contact with the camera, which may prompt the camera to "shut down", as has already been mentioned. The "InfoLithium" function works so far, indicating a ~190 minute runtime (on screen display = InfoLithium function) while in the "tape record" or "playback" mode. This is with a fully-charged battery. The NP-FP50 usually indicates about a 95+ minute runtime, as I recall. Whether I keep this battery or return it depends upon further evaluation by me in the next several days. [...] Update: (June 20, 2008) This battery is going back to "B********A******.com", where I purchased it, mostly due to the WRONG battery being sent at the excessively higher price!

I ordered this battery as an equivalent to Sony NP-FP70. The battery contact area is not the same as SONY and I cannot use it with my camcorder DCR-SR200. The description for this battery in Amazon is misleading and incorrect. IT IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO NP-FP70. Do not waste you time and money.
