REAL VS FAKE SONY HANDYCAM BATTERY NP-FV70 30 50 100

THIS IS A GUIDE TO HELP YOU NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REAL AND FAKE BATTERIES SOLD ON EBAY. MANY SELLERS EVEN SOME USA SELLERS ARE SELLING THESE. I BOUGHT A FV70 FROM CHINA FOR AROUND $20. THE SELLER STATES NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LISTING AS "GENUINE". Don't forget to vote yes if it helped you! Thanks!


THE FIRST AND MOST NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IS THE PACKAGING:

             

THE REAL PACKAGE IS THE SMALLER ONE, THE ONE ON THE RIGHT. I PURCHASED THE SMALLER ONE FROM CHINA BUT WAS STILL IN DOUBT AND WHEN I GOT THE BATTERY MY SUSPICIONS WERE CONFIRMED. THE BATTERY WAS FAKE.

NOW I AM COMPARING THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH CAMCORDER ITSELF WHICH IS GENUINE(BOUGHT FROM  RETAIL STORE BEST BUY)


THE REAL ONE IS THE ONE ON THE RIGHT. NOTICE THE TOP LABEL IS KIND OF INDENTED. BUT THE ONE FROM CHINA IS NOT, THAT IS FAKE.


THE REAL ONE IS THE BOTTOM ONE. NOTICE IS HAS A BLUE SEAL THAT SAYS "RECYCLE" AND IT HAS THE 1800 NUMBER TO CALL. THIS IS THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAMERA. THE TOP IS FROM CHINA.

REAL:


FAKE:


HOPE THIS GUIDE HELPED YOU. THANKS FOR READING. SO EVEN THOUGH MY PACKAGE WAS ORIGINAL THE BATTERY WAS NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL. TRY TO BUY FROM A USA SELLER SO THAT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE OF RETURNING AND REFUNDING. ALSO COMMUNICATION IS BETTER OBVIOUSLY. PLEASE REMEMBER THE BLUE SEAL IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF THE BLUE SEAL IS THERE, THEN IT'S REAL MOST LIKELY REAL.
