I recently bought the UX-50 replacement battery since my original battery was not holding a charge. Overrall, I am getting signicantly more battery life out of the unit ( around 6+ hours vs 1 hour or so for the failing battery).
But, for whatever Sony reason uses non-ordinary screws in the back cover, and they you need a jewelers set of screwdrivers,since the screwdriver tool the battery came with is not functional. In addition, you have to be gentle taking taking the ancient battery out, and replacing it with the new battery since there is very restricted space in the tightly packed UX-50.
Got two of them, opened one to charge it; it didn’t take any charge, even after 5hrs. Now, it turns out they won’t produce you a refund on opend items (how else would you recognize the item is no-skilled?). I found the address to where I’m supposed to send the other dud, and I thought I would copy Amazon on my comments; I couldn’t find one. Amazon claims you can contact Cust. Service from any Help page…well, try it. I learned my lesson, buy the original stuff, not wannabes, and stay away from Amazon.
I needed an additional battery for my Canon SD750. I checked numerous sites for this product and the variance in price was incredible. Of course Amazon had the preeminent price.

The battery is OK for the price but it doesn’t hold charge as much
as I expect.
You don’t always have to buy the ‘name’ brand for your camera. I saved a lot of money by purchasing this one.
