I bought a HMC150 from a dealer in CA for a decent price, and they tried to sell me the "big battery." I know I should have done some more research, but I went ahead and let them add it to my order.

The battery is IDX SSL-VGB50 (5000 mAh). The charged me $150.

I can't find this battery anywhere on google! expect at the IBV2009 page

Does anyone know if this battery is legit? I'm afraid to even try to hook it up to the HMC150 for fear of it not being compatible.

Thanks!
 
My bad. I was typing in the wrong model number for it.

In any event, will it charge with the charger that came with the camera?
 
The battery is legit but you paid too much for it it sold for $135 from B&H photo video. i did order mine today it will arrive on Tuesday,but i called the company to find out the if panasonic charger would work with it .they said yes with confidence.
 
I just posted all about this battery here:

Its a great batt so far - but tomorrow will be the 'how many hours does it last' test at a wedding. I shot for 30ish min so far and didn't even knock a bar off the battery meter. I paid about $145 including 2 day shipping from B&H.

And yes, OEM charger works like a charm.
