Default S5pro battery NP-150

Hi,
asked a few shops like CP, AP(Funan), and TCW and they no longer stock the NP-150 ...
any idea where I can get them at a reasonable rate?
I am using one spare 3rd party battery now but I feel that the original hold the charge somewhat better hmm

Just confirmed with Florence (lady boss) of MS Color. She is bringing in 3 pieces of NP-150 next week.

He... He... She has 1 piece reserved for me already. So grab the other 2 pieces before they are gone.

Yes... it is a typo and I have amended it.

I have 3 pieces of NP-150 on hand now and this will be my No 4.

I was informed by MS Color that they have sold out all their existing battery stock. Those who want one will have to wait.

Lords had NP150s. Got a pair of spares from them just before the weekend.

I wont trust the third party ones, though. A fellow S5 Pro user has been grumbling to me how his lasted 2/3 versus the original one.

No point saving $20-$30 and buy inferior quality OEM battery. Original Fujifilm NP-150 batteries are made in Japan (by Panasonic to Fuji specs). They last much longer than almost all generics.

One of my students tested his NP-150 against many OEM batteries available in Singapore. His conclusion is buy original. It is worth the extra money you spent.

don't save money buy 3rd party battery, brand name: DIGITAL, Replace FUNP150, 7.4v, 2000mAh type, EW-NP150 ... so regret to have it..

first few time charges you still can get 100%, after than it will go 44%, soon 33%...
battery is going to die..after 6month..
