"We have two of these batteries and have been using them in our camera for over four years. Only now, are they beginning to lose their ability to retain a full charge. I am excited to be able to buy replacements. We have shot several thousand pics with them, and we feel that we have difinitely gotten our money's worth. We highly recommend them!..."

Waste of Money, DON'T BUY!

"I bought this battery as a backup for my 40D after reading positive reviews from other customers. I used my canon battery first and it lasted me a long time, but as it was getting low, I charged this one up to have it ready. When the canon battery finally died, I threw this one in and flipped the switch to "ON"... and nothing. The battery doesn't work AT ALL. Luckily it hasn't blown up in my camera like the ..."

"MY OLD BATTERIES WOULD NO LONGER HOLD A CHARGE. I FOUND OTHER BRANDS OF BATTERIES THAT WERE MUCH CHEAPER, BUT COULD NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THE CHANCE THEY WOULD NOT WORK CORRECTLY. MY OLD BATTERIES LASTED TWO YEARS AND I EXSPECT THE SAME FROM MY NEW ONES. "

"The OEM Canon BP-511 battery is tops. It holds a good charge for a long time and will shoot a lot of pictures. The thing to watch out for is that there is also a BP-511A battery that will fit a camera where the BP-511 was original equipment, but the power requirements are different; it is designed …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought a Canon 40D in June 08. Even though the Canon battery lasts amazingly long considering I'm using it with a Tamron Super Zoom lens, I wanted a spare battery. But, didn't want to spend [$]for "just a battery". I decided to give it a chance even though some of the older reviews were not fa …"  Read Full Review »

"I agree with RagTimeBill's conclusion that it's probably safer to stay with a known quantity, i.e., Canon battery products. However, common sense says that there are less-expensive brands of provable quality and reliability that can be found--and I know they exist. In fact, I'd be willing to wager …"  Read Full Review »
