On the ebay i saw this

"Antention:
* Unless described as 'Original'; all items are produced by a 3rd party manufacturer and not the original manufacturer.
especially for camera Battery&Charger."

With regards to the alike packaging and imitation on the external looks, I am amazed.

But buyers should have read this sentence before committing.

the problem is ... these batt are selling in BNS .. without such information. just "spare unused sony FM500h" which is considered misleading ?
 

then it's buyer beware already...
 

I had tried to raise attention to these batteries in a post several weeks back, when I reported the presence of fake NP-FW50 batteries. See: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=794659. I saw someone selling the FM500H for a low price in B&S and tried to bring attention to the possible presence of fake FM500H as well. But I did not put it directly as there is no proof.
 

Yeap

I bought one from bay as well

S$26 + delivery nia

When it arrived it was half the weight with a slightly different printing and china quality packaging.

I pissed the dealer off by giving them a bad rep and forced them to give me a refund coz they wanted me to change the rep lol

but yea, it runs out pretty quickly...

but I think if I buy 4, which will then become similar to the price of a original one, I'll get more power in the end LOL!

Yeap, that's the guy I pissed off

He's original message was 'Original Authentic etc..."
 

Just curious, FM500H the spec is the same as NP-FW50?? Is all alpha model using the sane battery model?

thanks

LOL and 4 times the volume in your bag too.

they're different. the M series have higher capacity and stamina than the W series batteries. W batteries are also smaller. my A550 can get about 1000+ images before the batteries die. the W series, which i've tried, to get about 1000 shots (on your NEX or A55) would need about 2-3 batteries thereabouts.

adding on: the M series can't be used in bodies using the W series due to the size difference. and vice versa.

:bigeyes: that's me, i took that photo a year back.. haha

I can see there will be many victims. Cos the photo shows the genuine one on the left with the milder print and the fake one on the right with the brighter print. If the person taking the photo can get it wrong, it is a very good counterfeiting job.
 

just becareful of goods sold in China and nearby regions. Just heard from the other alpha forum, a number of 16-80 lenses in China, HK and Taiwan had issues. Guess it could be the same story as the batteries.

sad manz.. think the 100% safe place to buy is SONY JAPAN ! haha :bsmilie:
