I don't know whether I am looking at the correct batteries for my Sony DCR-SR30 Handycam

I am currently using an infolithium P series, NP-FP50,
i am wanting another battery that will let me record for a constant 2 & 1/2 hours without stopping, (3 hrs to be on the safe side)

are these what I should be looking at;

Yes, go for the FP90 to be safe..

However - these are all non-Sony, and your model number isn't listed, your camcorder may reject them.

I need an FP90 ASAP, could you put me on the right tracks, maybe give me a link when they WILL be some for my camcorder model, 'Sony DCR-SR30' also it has 'DCR-SR30' on the camcorder and has 'DCR-SR30E' on the manual

I need to be quick at buying 1,


I even thought of just buying 3 FP50 batteries and just swap them over when 1 runs out, but that'll be stupid won't it?? and cost more

what bout this 1;

if not, is it possible for you to send me a link to the exact 1??


Thanks,

I'll try to elaborate. Sony wants you to use their genuine batteries. Over time they have been putting greater intelligence into the batteries and camcorders to reject non-genuine ones. The non-Sony battery makers try and fight back to update their batteries to fool the camcorder.

It is possible the SR30 may reject a fake whilst an older model will accept it.

So the only way to make sure the battery will work is to buy a genuine one.

If you want to buy a non-genuine one, then find one which lists your model as supported; then if it doesn't work you can complain and get a refund.

[marcaaron22]

is that the cheapest or can I get them cheaper??

[redsox_mark]

You may find genuine ones on ebay cheaper..

I hope I've done the right thing, let me know ASAP so that I can cancel if I haven't

[redsox_mark]

Yes that's correct, and an excellent price for a genuine battery.
