 Excellent! November 25, 2008
Everyone needs a spare battery. We all have unexpected moments in our lives. It's good to have one of these to capture those moments. Just make sure you fully charge the battery before storing it so that you can use it whenever the need arises. Of course, make sure you have enough space in your memory card. Or better yet, have a spare SDHC card at your reach.
Panasonic VW-VBG130 1HR Battery Pack October 24, 2008
You have to have two batteries. You need at least two batteries as the one that comes with most camera's is usually is the cheapest one they can use and does not last very long while shooting video. With the Panasonic VW-VBG130 1HR Battery Pack (for HDC-SD1, AGHSC1U)
I have recorded over an hour and a half on this battery several times now. This battery holds it's charge and best of all two is always better then one.
The right tool for the job :-) September 30, 2008

I was looking for two spare battery packs at a good deal price for my new Panasonic mini DVD camcorder model VDR-D50P. I have used after market products before with excellent results. I chose this battery and ordered two of them. They were listed as repalcements for my model.Panasonic CGR-DU06A/1B Rechargable Battery for most Panasonic Camcorders THEY DO NOT FIT. Panasonic has changed ever so slightly the size of the bracket the batttery mounts into on the cam and the charger. I was able to return the batteries to the company for a refund. After futher research on the Panasonic battery I needed, I returned to Amazon with a Panasonic part number (VW-VBG130). I did a search and it came back with more of the same thing I had bought before that did not fit. However, in the mix were several companies that listed the battery as this part number and as being an ORIGINAL, Panasonic part. This battery sells locally for AROUND $125.00 but I found it on Amazon for $55.00 plus shipping but NO TAX. I ordered two of them and they indeed are Panasonic batteries with the correct part number and they fit my camcorder. Here's the AMAZON.COM link to the CORRECT battery For the Panasonic VDR-D50P camcorder; http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000SCUWOY/ref=dp_olp_2
BY THE WAY, the link shown at the right of this review is the link to the correct battery for the VDR-D50P Panasonic. To get to the $55.00 price look down a little and to the right of the ZOOM option for the photo of the battery. you will see the link to the dealers selling them for $55.00 or so. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you contact the company before buying to get a gut feeling for the company and their attitude before you order, there are usually several optional companies selling the item if you don't get that desired "fuzzy" feeling at first.
Apparently the so called "after market" has not caught up with the fact that Panasonic has changed the mounting bracket size sligtly for the newer size batteries. This was indicated by the dealer when I returned my original purchase. I'm sure in time they will discover this change and produce the correct battery. For now, 9-30-08, apparently we have to use the ORIGINAL.
NOTE: The battery, VW-VBG130, also fits the New Panasonic SD memory card type camcorders also. I did some research on this. With the new SD card camcorders this battery will run the cam for about 60 to 70 minutes. On the mini DVD recorders like mine you will get about 50 minutes because the battery is having to move the laser head and mechanism as well as the motor that spins the DVD itself.
By the way, at this writing, 9-30-2008, there are some good deals to be had on the nice Panasonic SD card camcorders from last years models which are wonderful units and got very high user ratings. The newer units this year have no appreciable improvements over last year's model. Try looking at circuitcity.com in the "OUTLET" section. If you do not see the "OUTLET" link on the main page, simply type OUTLET in the search bar and click GO and presto you will be there and you can do a search for Panasonic Camcorders. The nice THREE CHIP model HDC-HD5 is below $500.00 at this time (9-30-2008) when you put it in your shopping cart. Wish I had one :-)

Great buy on a great battery pack, this pack delivers on the one hour claim, yet is still light enough to use without a tripod.
 It's a BATTERY - NOT GOLD... May 15, 2008

Amazingly overpriced for a battery that basically runs my HDC-HC1 for a little over an hour.
Can you say "stick 'em up"???
