Do these batteries weigh a lot more than the original battery? Obviously they are larger, so you'd expect some extra weight, but is it a lot?

They do weigh more. The Standard Battery weighs 1.4 oz The FV70 weighs 3.0 oz My Favorite (best camera stability and best run time) the FV100 weighs 4.1 oz My Sony HDR-CX230 weighs 6.3 oz with no battery. I do not believe that weight is not an issue.

Yes they are a little bit heavier. However the battery balances the camera better. The best part is the 2 hr plus video time!

I find that most of the weight is in the batteries. If you're concerned about weight, invest in some of the smaller Lithium Ion batteries. Even the larger Lithium batteries I think are lighter than the big bulky NiCads. Hope this helps.

We just had to change the battery in ours. Now it's weighing 7 pounds lighter. Went to dr and yes theirs weighed what it read before the new battery.Surely u don't have to replace scale when battery goes out to get a true weight again???

VMAX batteries will be better for several reasons. Even though the amp hours are the same, all VMAX USA batteries use a tin-lead alloy in their plates vs. calcium-lead alloy used in cheaper batteries. Also, the metal plates used in VMAX batteries are thicker. This results in a higher quality, longer lasting, and heavier battery (For example the VMAX857-35 weighs 25 pounds, the UB12350-D5722 weighs 22.6 pounds, both are 35Ah). The VMAX also includes a standard carrying handle, and features a tough and durable outer casing made of extra strong ABS plastic.

They are very compatible and hold more charge than the original. It's worth the buy.

Unfortunately it isn't the same battery. U would think they would be but there not. Wish I had better news for u. Thx..mic

I do not know about those units. I do know these are not the same size as standard batteries. They are longer and much heavier and expensive.

The 2200mah allows for more battery hours which is why the performance of this battery is better than the mfg original battery. Although they claim that at times higher mah can make for a larger or heavier battery, I did not experience that with this battery - fit perfectly. http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=194

mine have worked very well,but they don't seem to last as long as more expensive batteries,so i keep extras on hand.

The two I purchased were the same size, weight. However, I did have a minor problem with one in that it wouldn't stay locked on the drill...simple solution: duct taped it to the drill base. Started doing that to all batteries so they won't fall out.

Seems about right but I haven't payed that close attention. I do know that the original batteries held a charge longer than at least one of the 4 I bought does....

Hi Mike, I just received similar batteries from this vendor and I am 100% satisfied with the quality and performance of the products. After receiving them, I oredered two more for a 12 v Makita also. They appear to be a perfectly acceptable replacement to the originals.Buy with confidence, I did and don't regret it.

It's substantially larger (about twice as thick) and heavier (at least twice as heavy) than the original battery. Any case made for use with the standard battery won't fit (but there are cases made for the larger batteries). In my opinion, these trade-offs are worth the extended battery time.

Yes, they will work just fine. More mAh means in simple words that the batteries will be able to retain more charge. As for the end user it means more talk time.

Read the reviews and they should help you. They are supposed to be better than regular batteries.

I have not used them very much but I do notice that the seem to be lighter in weight. I had the 18V set and I could not keep the batteries charged. I have noticed that the 20V LioN batteries seem to stay charged longer when not in use.

I have used the replacement batteries several times with recharging them. So far they are working flawlessly. About the same weight and definitely the same size.
