When I oreder mine it was new and worked just fine. It's the Sony batteries you have to worry about. Only genuine Sony batteries seem to work in their camera.

Ordered a pair of these on 3/23/2014, and they are new Fujifilm NP-50 Li-Ion rechargeable batteries. Mine came in a dark grey (almost black) retail Fujifilm package, complete with multi-language instruction sheet and stored in a soft plastic pouch marked Fujifilm Corporation. These look different from the one in the image as they have a yellow stripe on the top, and are marked "3.6V typ.1000mAh" on the face. Mine were ordered directly from Amazon.com LLC as I wanted to be sure that they were the real thing, since they're going in a Fujifilm X20 camera.

The markings on the battery compared with the one that came with the camera are identical. I have no reason to believe that the purchased one is not genuine.

If it looks like the one shown it is a Fuji battery, I highly doubt they would refurbish any of them, or sell them used..

The provided link didn't work for me. The battery currently at Fujifilm NP-50 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery for Fuji F60fd, F50fd & F100fd Digital Cameras - Retail Packaging is a genuine FujiFilm part, and separate order links are provided for "new", "used", and "refurbished".

I ordered two of them. Both were genuine Fujifilm batteries that have served me well.

I use it frequently for NP 45A battery. Charges fairly quickly(few hours) Suggest getting extra battery(original Fuji) also; that way you can use camera while spare is charging.

I buy all my photo equipment and power tools "Refurbished" whenever it is available. The reason is that the refurbished item is inspected and tested in every way before it is offered back to the public. I have never received a refurbished item that had any issues mechanically or cosmetic. On the other hand, I have frequently had to return "New" items for not working as they should. For me, Refurbished is BETTER than new.

It is NOT a good idea to buy a used battery. Spend the extra money and buy a NEW battery and ALWAYS buy a CANON BRAND if you buy it online otherwise buy from a place like Batteries Plus where you can get it warrantied if it doesn't work. Here is the "I TOLD YOU SO": If you buy a used or off brand battery online - your chances of wasting your money completely are VERY HIGH. Also - don't be a cheap skate.

I bought mine from J&R; Music. This one has all the correct markings on it for a genuine Cannon Battery... and the price is about right. If this is exactly what you get from them in the mail I think it is the genuine article.

Yes, I believe it is! I had the same question myself after an experience with one that was not genuine ... This battery has charged, held a charge, and functioned in my Sony camera in the exact manner as the original.

Not certain, but I believe they mean it's not a refurb. I've had mine for a few months now and haven't had any issues. Battery holds a charge as expected.

It appears to be a Genuine Nikon EN-EL3e battery. on the other side there will be a hologram and the Nikon name on a sticker. I bought a battery once that wasn't genuine and didn't notice it for a while but so far not problems. It's about 3.5 years old now and some of my other Nikon batteries are 4 and 5 years old.

It is a genuine Sony Battery. It works great in my Sony Cyber-shot. Can't answer about your camera. Sorry!

The batteries I received were not labeled FUJIFILM. The label said "FOR FUJI NP-85, 3.7V 1900mAh, 7.0Wh lithium battery". For comparison, the FUJIFILM batteries are 1700mAh. Both of the new batteries I received have performed as well as the original "name brand" battery that came with my camera. I should also note that the charger works great.

Dang, anyone know if there are still any cameras that use real batteries like this? I'd have had to replace my Sony multiple times over if it used proprietary batteries. They're such a pain, and I wish NOTHING used them. I need a new/better camera though, and REALLY want something that still uses regular batteries.

The Fujifilm website's FAQ states that the NP-50A has a slightly greater capacity than the NP-50; the same site elsewhere states that NP-50A batteries are not distributed for standalone sale, but distributed only as original accessories of some models of Fujifilm cameras. NP-50 batteries may be used wherever NP-50A batteries are specified.

It appears some sellers are trying to twist the meaning of "Yuasa replacement battery" to mean "Yuasa replacement brand". So anyone who received genuine batteries kindly also mention the seller you purchased from please. Thanks!

My Sony laptop is Model VGN-SZ640 uses this batteries and replacement batteries has to re-program my PC to accept replacement batteries. Once you reprogram to new batteries then cannot go back to former batteries. A new replacement battery hold charges up to about 2/3 rd of original Sony batteries and is made in China not Japan and is inferior to my opinion.

I ordered it for myself but it was the wrong product. I have a Sony camera, but this one is for Sony camcorder. It's an original Sony battery not refurbished. It came in an original package, but it had been opened. It looks "brand new" or at least "like new" to me. I don't remember the name of the seller. Hope my answer is helpful.

It is good to be skeptical about this. I purchased one that was labeled Canon but was really a fake through a third-party retailer on Amazon. Fortunately, Amazon took it back. I'd like to think Amazon is only selling genuine merchandise but I cannot tell you about this particular one. Fortunately you can return it if you have any concerns. When you get it, take a good look at the front and back of the battery and it should be obvious if it is a fake but they are getting better. Sorry I can't be of more help.
