After I read here that it supposedly is not the original, I have to disagree with this point. The battery was an original packaging with Sony hologram and logo. In addition, the used paper from Sony (Warranty and support flyer 10,000 languages). Battery delivers what it promises and is actually just like the battery to be bought to coincide with camera. Thus, everyone should know whether he needs two or a spare battery. In addition, a protective cover is included for transporting the battery unused.
