Casio NP 20 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery for the Casio Digital Camera

Customer Reviews

A battery with a bit of a bug

2008-02-15
Battery good, no problems! However using proper charger means occasionally it flashes red and refuses to charge. This can be cured by "jump-starting" (+ to +, - to -) it with a 9v battery for 10 seconds or so - it puts enough voltage into it to allow the charger to recognise it and charge it properly (solid red light for ~90mins). Batteries may explode if short circuited so the author takes no responsibility for the actions you may choose in this method!

Good battery

This is the battery for the Casio camera I own. The original battery died in about a year. The replacement battery came quickly and is working great so far.

Great Battery

This battery has long life (at lease it does in my Casio Exilim EX-Z77 7.2 Digital camera)

A good battery that sometimes has problems

2008-01-04
The Casio NP-20 is an incredibly small, thin battery that provides great performance for compatible Exilim digital cameras. That is, when it works properly. The problem with this battery is (or can be), that it can suddenly become un-rechargeable for no apparent reason. This is indicated by a flashing red light in the compatible battery charger (Casio BC-11L) when the battery is inserted for recharging. The one good thing is, these days you can often buy a replacement original Casio battery on Amazon used for $10-$12, instead of the original $40 or so for a new one. I've bought several used ones that work as good as new, although I've also had one or two with the "flashing red light of death indicator" as well.

This one didn't work

I bought the Casio Digital camera because they come with the longest lasting batteries of all. The extra battery ordered from this site did NOT work at all. It would not charge even after 24 hours. It would not turn on the camera. I got a refund from Amazon but Adorama never emailed a return label so I paid about $12 for shipping coming and going. I'm afraid to try again. Wish there was another source for real Casio batteries.

I don't think so...

Are you kidding me? Over $100 for this?

The whole camera outfit is only a few dollars more.

2 Generics for $8 worked for me.

Also, batteries on my older Casio lasted forever, and was able to take more pics per charge.

Bad product

2008-06-15
On my 2nd Casio NP-20. This is a very poor product. Will charge for a while and then suddenly will not hold a charge. Casio makes a decent camera but their batteries are garbage.

OK until they fail - (frequently)

I'm on my third "genuine" Casio battery in one year. The $5 generic batteries seem to work just as good. Contact Casio for warranty first- they'll send out a new battery and acknowledge that they frequently fail

Good camera, bad charger

2008-05-01
We have three of these cameras mostly because they are thin and easy to put in our pockets or my daughters small purses. They get alot of use and the only issue we've found is with the charger. We thought we were having battery problems, but the issue was really with the charger. My advise...make sure the charger red light is blinking before you walk away and think you're charging your battery.

So far....so good.

Yes, I received an original OEM battery and so far it has worked well. I am cautiosly optimistic that it will last longer than the original that came with my camera. I'm hoping it too doesn't succumb to the blinking red light of death.

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos. The handbook includes color and b&w images, a glossary, and sidebars and Web links for further technical details.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
