 Does what it says but overpriced July 25, 2008
First of all, get the OEM ones by Sanyo only.
Don't buy those aftermarket units, they don't last as long after charge and the life expectancy is just too short.
I bought 2 aftermarket units from Newegg.com and one of them, after just 2 charges, the center part of the battery started to bulge out and doesn't hold the charges.
The OEM ones, including one I got from Amazon (I got the camcorder from Amazon, see my other review of the HD700), holds the charge better. But an inherent issue with the battery and camcorder, if you use it for over 10 mins continuously for a single shooting, it get pretty hot in your hand.
So far the unit has been performing as it should, allowing about 45 mins of video and a couple hundred pictures; as described. I just thought being so expensive, it should provide a longer charge for video time.
Frankly, buyers don't have much choice. You can risk buying the aftermarket ones or pay higher price and get the quality OEM ones.
Happy shopping!
 1-year life from this expensive battery! January 6, 2008

I cycled this battery in my Xacti camera charger perhaps two dozen times over the course of a year and it's already dead. That's better than the cheap "Techstep" batteries I purchased on ebay (they lasted about 3 months) but still totally unacceptable. I expect 2-3 years out of a Li battery that is only occasionally cycled (shelf life limited rather than cycle life limited).
 Sanyo battery is perfect November 25, 2007
I don't use my Xacti too often, I guess that is part of the reason my first battery died because I left on the charger constantly.
Anyway about this product, it matches the one that shipped with unit so there are no guessing games here. I charged it once about two months ago and have used my Xacti for about 10-15 minutes and the battery is still fully charged.
Product delivers as advertised, at least for my limited usage...
Genuine Sanyo Battery September 2, 2007
This the the genuine Sanyo battery that came with the original camera package. I purchased "compatible" batteries but they died in about 10-15 minutes. This one lasts about twice that long for half an hour (even though Sanyo says their DB-L40 battery lasts an hour, in reality, it's only half of that!) Most compatible batteries last even much shorter.
2nd battery July 4, 2007
I needed this 2nd battery as a back up for a trip to Europe. It arrived without a problem!
Thanx
