Duracell DRSBX1 Replacement Camera Battery for Sony NP-BX1

We bought this Duracell NP-BX1 battery as a spare for our son's Sony Cybershot DSC HX90 Compact Digital Camera as it might be a slightly superior in build to an even cheaper generic battery, and the Duracell could have better protection against overheating, better performance in cold temperatures, etc. (assuming I didn't get a fake Duracell battery - so I ordered direct from Amazon to minimise that risk). Unlike the Sony original NP-BX1 there was no hologram on the Duracell battery, although it came in the proper Duracell blister pack.I paid £15 for this Duracell battery and it fitted perfectly into our Sony HX90 compact camera (not tight at all), and it has identical electrical contacts. This Duracell battery is only 950mAh though and not 1240mAh like the Sony, so it will only last around 75% of shots powered by the Sony battery - but at £15 compared to £39 for the Sony version I'm not that worried. The Duracell is just to give the camera a few extra shots should the main one run out during the day, so it's no problem for us as my son's generally not that snap happy. Plus the Duracell has the 3 year warranty. The Duracell code for this battery is DRSBX1 (950mAh, 3.7V/3.5Wh replaces NP-BX1). So 5* for the price we paid. Battery works fine in the camera, given the lower power storage rating.

Don't notice a difference between this Duracell replacement and the original Sony battery. Works well!

I used this product for my Sony camera and Duracell have a good reputation for reliable batteries. Much cheaper than Sony battery and does the same job.

Lasts as long as the original. Don't bother buying the cheaper one's.The Duracell is pretty good.

Came with a bit of charge. Works perfectly in camera. Good value

I bought this as an additional battery for the almighty Sony FDR-X3000 action camera.Firstly, it fits in the camera fine and lasts a descent amount of time (spent 3 hours on a boat and it went down to about 60%).Most importantly for me, despite it being slightly lower mAh than the Sony battery, this Duracell holds its charge even when not being used. I have found that the Sony battery does not hold its charge. To test I left the X3000 off with the Duracell battery in for several days having been fully charged. It switched on no problem still with its full charge. The Sony battery did not.Despite being a third of the cost of the Sony battery this Duracell is now the primary battery for my camera and the Sony is backup. Says it all! Would highly recommend and I am planning on buying another.

Good quality

This was purchased to replace an exhausted Sony battery. The difference in price between the Sony make and Duracell made it a "No Brainer". Altogether outstanding value!
