Sanyo DB-L20AU Lithium Ion Battery for Xacti C6 and C40 Camcorders

I recently bought one of these cameras on ebay for 38 bucks w/free shipping. If you wait one of them will come up for cheap. The features of this camera are great but I was especially impressed by the audio quality. The camera has two very small microphones on the back of the viewer. Our band played at a blues club last Saturday and I gave this little camera to our soundman (before doing so I turned on the 'low light' and 'noise' filter. I got home and mixed a video the next day for youtube and the audio sounded great especially through PC speakers. There were other videos on youtube and their audio didn't compare in quality. I use a laptop for mixing and this cameras SD media plugs right in for transfering video and pictures which saves tons of time. The pictures are also excellent. I also bought a VPC-C6 for my 12 yr. old son for Christmas and he's going to love it. I highly recommmend any of these Xacti cameras plus you can fit them in your pocket. They're hardly bigger than a cellphone.

Not much to say about this product, it's a battery and it holds a charge. With my waterproof Sanyo Xacti, I am able to record video for about 1 hour continously.

What's to say? It works fine..... Make sure you buy two for long battery life because the Xacti camera eats batteries! Good camera btw.

Sanyo DB-L20AU is a must have for Xacti users. No better or worse then the oem. Same charging time. Same usage time. Just don't leave home w/out it. Must have for those special moments.

PAY ATTENTION!
You can get batteries like this for $10 if you shop around!
Don't pay these outragious prices!
Simple.......right?

If you really want the best original stuff for your Xacti then pony up to the bar people and pay the price for the original DB-L20. This one is the original Sanyo DB-L20 720 mAh battery like the one that came with my Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1. I needed an extra and wanted the best and it works like a charm. Recommended if you are not too cheap to pay for original accessories like this.

I trusted Amazon, but should have read these reviews first. I just received my new 720mAh battery. It looks just like the original though. It is not a 5500mAh as described ...sooo disappointed.

What I need to know is -- will this replace the regular Sanyo DB-L20 in my VPC-E1? Can I plug it into the existing charger without burning the house down? To be safe I was just going to by a regular DB-L20. But the *AU is all that's listed.

Amazon (and most of the other comparison shopping web sites) list this battery as 5500 mAh. This is very strange because if you look at the image of the sanyo DB-L20AU battery, it clearly is printed with 720 mAh. So if you think the clone batteries are delivering only 13% of the charge of the Sanyo, you might be wrong, since the clones usually also claim 720 mAh. Why Amazon chose to represent this as a 5500 mAh battery instead of a 720 mAh battery mystifies me, but they made a big mistake and as of July 27, 2007 they have not corrected this typo or misrepresentation. The Kahlon clone, for $25, is a 680 mAh battery. So you are getting about 94% of the power charge for about 50% of the price. You could get two clones for the price of one "real" battery. The Lenmar clone claims 720 mAh and can be found for $13 to $20. Beware the Amazon product descriptions... you aren't going ot get a 5500 mAh battery!

Just look at the battery capacity (in mAh).
