Does the jobSeptember 29, 2008 I got two of these about a month ago and followed the instructions regarding charging for 10 hours the first time, even though the green light on my charger came on after about two. Several charge/discharge cycles later, I shot 2600+ images yesterday at a marching band competition before changing the battery when the indicator on my Canon Rebel XTi dropped to one bar. (Most were shot in burst mode. None with flash. I started about 4:30 pm and ended after 10:00 pm so about half were daylight/dusk and half were stadium lights only. The only time my display is on is when I am setting, changing or checking settings, otherwise it is turned off.) This exceeds the performance I have been getting out of the OEM battery supplied with the camera and at less than 1/4 the price is a great value. We'll see how they compare to the Canon battery in terms of total charge/recharge cycles.
Not Good (was okay for a month)September 18, 2008 Hello folks, I guess most of the good reviews are written with in a month of purchase.
This battery was okay (Not good) for few initial charges . Now when I put it for charging, the charge complte light will come on in 5 minutes. Then i could take few pics. My original canon battery (5 yrs)hold more charge than this one. I could not locate the warranty form in the original packagng. Tried their website and the only thing I found was a pdf to send the produt back to them (No RMA etc).
I do not under stand how they rate the battery to 1500mah(may be just sticker).
Bottom line : IMO do not BUY this product.
Absolute GarbageSeptember 15, 2008 Amazing...I got 4 photos out of this battery in my XTi and it would not recharge. I should have known from the price that these were worthless. You live and learn. The original Canon keeps going and going and going..!!!!! The tag says 1500 mah but it's more like 10 mah. Stay away from these batteries.
Terrible batteryJuly 6, 2008 I can not say anything positive about this battery except that it has not exploded. Yet.
It will charge up, work for a brief time with a 100% charge according to the camera meter, then quickly stop working 30 seconds after telling me the battery is low. Interestingly, if i take it out and put it back in, or shake my camera, I can *sometimes* get it to work (and the camera says its charged). The day after getting it, I made the huge mistake of forgetting it was in my camera...thinking the original was in place. As a result, it failed at a critical moment and I missed getting a good shot of my daughter's graduation. I hold myself responsible as I bought this piece of junk. I cant find the original packaging, and at this price its probably not worth the effort to send it back.
Battery doesn't hold charge after only 4 months of light useJune 16, 2008 Probably used it 5 times in 4 months. Now it doesn't hold a charge. Waste of money. (Original Canon battery works great still.)
