Version 2, as currently displayed on Amazon, at the above contacts a hologram (Sony, number, "L", "R" - depending on the inclination) to recognize is. The plastic case has an embossed imprint (see photo) and can be pressed something - and not acting as robust. This battery only weighs 42g, has on the label the labeling "Made in China". The techn. and security information are arranged differently. There are only given for 1020 mA / h capacity.
It is at version 2 but also to an original, or at least authorized by Sony, offered in original packaging Replacement battery.
I bought this battery at MM for 49.99. Production date (the stamped code on the housing bottom right gives information) October 2014. Charging time initial charge: 3.5 hours
For confusion makes the picture on the Sony - Page showing the known from the original Japanese model.
If Sony but the origin and specification has 2014 (probably due to rationalization) completely changed the men and women should take care of this small but elite family business on their product page times for reconnaissance !!
Overall, the "old" original from Japan acts valent. As the amended "Original" - battery behaves in use over the period to which I now can contribute anything Resilient. But promise to do so.
For the poor information policy, in a segment where it to plagiarism with distinct quality and price differences teeming and for the worse material quality, the shrunk weight by more than 26%, as well as the slightly lower capacity indication - and so the silly feeling less for to get the same amount of money: - 3 Stars -
