Sony InfoLITHIUM V Series NP-FV100 Camcorder Battery, 3900mAh
TSh 322,500
Our review
This is Sony's NP-FV100, a V Series InfoLITHIUM pack rated at 26.5Wh, or 3,900mAh, with a mean output of 6.8V. It is the high-capacity option in the V Series line, so it suits Handycam owners who record for long stretches and would rather carry one larger battery than several small ones. It arrives in Sony branded retail packaging. Before buying, confirm your camcorder accepts V Series batteries, since older or different series packs will not fit or report correctly. Also check whether your charger handles this capacity, and note that Sony lists faster charging with the optional AC-VQV10 quick charger. Compared with standard-capacity V Series packs, this one trades a little extra weight for longer runtime; compared with third-party equivalents, it keeps Sony branding and retail packaging. If you already own several smaller batteries, weigh whether one high-capacity pack actually simplifies your kit.
