How do I know it is an original Sony battery?

You don't. My package has has a part number B0076HQW4S New. It says it is an original Sony VGP - BPS22 Bat Extended Capacity. It lasts for less than one year. It is no longer holding much charge. I gave up on Sony products because quality is no longer any good.

You don't. The one I bought no longer holds a charge. But I don't know where else for you to go, so go for it and hope for the best.

Not at all. It is a genuine Sony battery. Not an aftermarket. Seller stated that pkg was torn, but battery was new,and that's what he advertised. Battery is working fine. No problems.

I haven't had to replace the battery so I really wouldn't know. Either contact Sony and ask them directly or stop into a radio shack or other electronics store and have them check it out for you.

The packaging and the battery all appear to be oem. The battery is identical to the original battery that came with my camera. They hold the same level of charge. I use my camera above ground and shooting underwater photos. They do degrade over time, I have one I bought a few years back that barely holds a charge for one dive though that can be up to 200 photos.

I'm not sure I understand the question but I think this is the original battery by LG.

The brand name of this battery is "Sony" and the way it package will look like one in store. Front hard plastic sealed with paper back, packaged for individual sale. I hope this help.

It's my understanding that the battery is proprietary to Sony, but once it is purchased from them, it is easy to install. No problem whatsoever.

Yes, the picture does look with the correct battery. It is about twice the thickness of my original SONY battery that came with the video camera. So far, I am pretty happy with the battery as it gives about 3 hours of recording time per full charge (that's with quite a number of zoom in/outs, no degradation in performance after at least 30 charge cycles...

The original battery and then other one bought here are completely identical, and after almost a year of using both, their discharging times are very similar. I would say that this battery is original.

If you go to Sony.com and put in your model number, it will tell you what batteries you need.

Its from Toshiba. The battery looks just like it shows in the picture, including the Toshiba name on the top left corner.

Nope, its a fake! Don't waste your money. The first one only charged for 2hrs and I know my original battery did 5hrs. They sent me another one, and it started off at 5hrs and thought to myself "great!" The battery literally stopped working the next day. I would honestly go to Sony.

I'm not the seller. The battery has functioned well. As to whether it's really a Sony product it's hard to tell these days.

No the spare battery is not Sony, it's some other brand, but it works good, and it's great if u are low on one, u can switch instantly to the charged one

Hi RickI bought this battery for my camera and I can give testimony that is original and working properly. A few days ago I lost one of the two I have and will go back to buy this battery. I recommend it.

The battery sold by Amazon.com is genuine, same good quality as the original one with the camera body.Not sure about the other ones sold by other vendors though...

Unfortunately you can never know for sure, because different sellers sell the batteries under the Toshiba part number, and some of them are real and some are not. I got one of these from Laptop Parts (laptopsparts) and it was the genuine Toshiba battery. But this is a different seller and a different ad, so I can't say for sure. It sounds like the real thing, though. The seller is actually Toshiba so if they say it's the real thing it better be.
