    The Genuine Article!

    "You pay a little more for Canon's batteries, but it's an insurance policy against cheesy manufacturing. I had an off-brand "substitute" battery before this one. It worked okay, until the flimsy plastic casing split apart on me as I was using the camera! The base plate of the cheap aftermarket battery disintegrated, and the rest of the battery fell off onto the ground, where it shorted out and caught fire. Need..." Read Full Review »

    Extra Battery a must with Cannon's XL2.

    "An extra battery is a must if you’re going to be away from an electrical outlet for more than an hour with the camera in constant use. While this battery will only last about 90 minutes with constant shooting, it is the only auxiliary battery offered by Cannon for the XL2. With careful use of the camera’s off/on controls, the standard battery and this auxiliary battery should last an entire day of hiking until..." Read Full Review »

    "There's not really much to say about it. If you are used to the smaller battery, then you'll absolutely love the much larger capacity BP-945. I haven't ran one out of charge yet...mainly because I'm in the habit of recharging after every filming session, and secondly because I haven't really done …"  Read Full Review »

    "I use this battery with my Canon GL2 camera and my XL1. I do a lot of field video for the local school district. You can't have enough battery life when you're filming kids take after take after take!

    "Filmed from 10am to 5pm almost non-stop (still turned the camera off and on to save power occasionally). It lasted longer than I thought it would. Great, long lasting battery for the Canon XL2. It does take just as long to charge as it lasts, though. "
