Hello, It's a while since I have this battery, but I was served up until just are few. My use is in the mountains, so in not always easy (cold) Verdict: this battery takes no more than 10 minutes, while my original battery like more than an hour in the same conditions. Moreover, even if it is delivered in an original package, it is clear that the label located on the back of the battery, despite the will of reproduction is slightly different from the original battery (police d writing, duller colors). Result: I'll have to buy me a battery on the SONY site. A tip: do not buy this battery. I'm really disappointed that Amazon sold this battery as a REAL Sony battery, claiming it as such, then that is simply a INFRINGEMENT !!!
