I just got the PAL version of the FX-1 and I love it. Are there any discounts sites where I can buy PAL batteries or are the batteries the same? I can't use US batteries can I?

View Full Version : Batteries for PAL Betsy Moore March 28th, 2005, 01:18 AM I just got the PAL version of the FX-1 and I love it. Are there any discounts sites where I can buy PAL batteries or are the batteries the same? I can't use US batteries can I? Laszlo Bodo March 28th, 2005, 03:33 AM You can buy batteries where ever you like. Use Sony. Betsy Moore March 28th, 2005, 12:37 PM Yeah, but Sony batteries are so expensive, can I get discount off brand PAL batteries? Or is there no difference between PAL and NTSC? Jim Arthurs March 30th, 2005, 10:46 AM Stick with Sony. It will save you grief in the long run. Search Amazon.com for cheap prices on Sony NP-F970. I got two, haven't run down the first one yet... Yes, US batteries are the same... Regards, Jim Arthurs Jerry Waters March 30th, 2005, 12:05 PM B&H has dropped their Sony battery price to $104 from $140 or so. I tried a "non Sony" battery that said "Sony 100% compatible" but it wasn't. I had to return it. Sean M Lee March 30th, 2005, 07:56 PM I've had good luck with the Assia NP-F970 replacement. These are 7800 mAh that work great in my Z1. I paid $39.99 US each for them. Got 'em from a guy on Ebay. I can get 5 hours on one of them, they render the Sony 570 as an emergency only battery Ebay auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3873831005&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT) Betsy Moore March 30th, 2005, 08:11 PM Thanks, Sean Jerry Waters March 31st, 2005, 09:33 AM eBatt has the battery for $59.99 as a regular: http://www.ebatts.com/312_+_1_battery_part_B-963.aspx?redir=true&GCID=S10847x036>KW=NP%2DF970&equiv=NP-F970 Does the eBay dealer have them regularly?

Jerry Waters March 31st, 2005, 08:43 PM I get a message indicating that the problem is that my machine doesn't have the right cookies. Can you give me the store's name and I'll search Ebay. Jerry Waters March 31st, 2005, 09:10 PM I found the company - capowerinc. The battery US is about $38. I sent him an email to make sure it works with the Z1.
