Good but sometimes don’t charge above 60%
I have been getting some inconsistent charge percentages with these batteries. A couple times I have charged them and they said they were full but when I put them into the Action 5 they only read 60%. After a couple charges a discharges they seem to be going to 100%, but I’ve only cycled them a couple times so don’t fully have enough data to know how often they only partially charge.
They claim to be 2100mAh, but don’t quite run as long as the OEM 1950mAh batteries— though they are close, with these lasting 151min and the OEM lasting 159 min (both recording 23.98fps @ 4K). At the 6% “full charge” it only lasted 87min.
Regardless, it is really handy to have multiple batteries ready to go and swap at any time. When you’re using for professional use you can’t be sitting around waiting for batteries to charge. They just need to be reliable. Right now I don’t have full confidence in them (but even with 3 batteries @ 60% that’s still 4 additional hours of record time), but I’ll keep testing and update my review if need be.
