Hmm... that's exceptionally cheap... works out to less than $60 per battery. I bought mine at $85 for the A900... suspicious though, the link doesn't bring you to anywhere?

I think the URL thing has inadvertently included the '....I' portion which is part of the next sentence. The correct URL should have been http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/the.biggest.store

I see... anyone bought from them before? Although I really don't need batteries now... got 4 of the FM-500H for my A900... a dual charger would be appreciated though...

I was looking for a dual charger too but they don't have :(

Only the original SONY one is available? Never surfed the Net to find out if there are 3rd party ones though... there were 3rd party dual chargers for the KM NP-400s though... Price is $199 I think for the SONY dual charger... it's quite sophisticated if I don't remember wrongly, allowing different types of charging cycles and also telling you the condition of the batteries and percentage of charge left... I almost bought when I bought my A900. Only the lack of stock prevented me... I'm just wondering if it is necessary now... the SONY Infolithiums are pretty hardy...

The 2 batteries I ordered arrived within 1 week. I have charged and started using them, so far so good. They also came in packaging that look authentic. However, they are a little 'tighter' than those I got with the camera and bought from CP. Both need more push into the battery tray in my battery grip, one of them won't even eject williingly from the camera's battery compartment....I had to use sticky tape to 'suck' it out (didn't dare to use any hard object to pry though). This one is 'black-listed' and shall only go into the battery tray. The batteries also arrived in a used NTUC tissue box, complete with a few strands of human hair and guess what ? .... toe (guess it is the big or second toe judging from the length) nails clippings. Guess the seller did his packaging on the floor, a rather dirty one at that! :)
