My original OEM Canon batteries lasted a LONG time (> 5-yrs, which I consider pretty darn good) both finally failed about the same time, so ... yes folks, you have to accept these things do a have a lifetime and will eventually die. I couldn't stomach the outrageous price for OEM batteries, so I ordered 3 of these "after-market" batteries. So far I have noticed no problems with these batteries, they fit my OEM charger, charge up nicely, fit into my camera (Canon Rebel Digital XT), operate essentially as OEMs and appear to hold their charge just fine. That said, I haven't done enough shooting to know for sure how they'll operate in the real world - so I will check back in here to update if there is a problem with ability hold charge (will know within the next 2 weeks). All in all, satisfied with product so far. UPDATE (7/31/13) - Checking back in as promised. I used this battery over 2-day period, several hundred shots and my camera's LCD display still displays a full charge; it should be noted these were all outdoor shots so no flash. Still, I think its safe to say the battery holds its charge well. PS - I looked over the negative reviews (1-star, 2-star) and here's what I found ... Misspelling of "Power" on battery label (Powwer): they're made in China (with Japanese cells) and most likely English is a 2nd language for the label guy. Big deal, so give the label a 1-star, but I bought a battery here and not a label. Battery not compatible with their camera: hopefully any of those issues have been addressed by now in the product description, fits my Canon Rebel XT perfectly. Charger incompatibility: surprising, as again, it fit my Canon OEM charger just fine; also fit an after-market car charger I bought. Vendor issue (SF Planet): don't know if its the same or a new vendor, but this battery's vendor is listed as SterlingTek Camera broke, so blamed it on the battery: that makes sense, because it must've been the battery, right? Using charger in China (heard pop and light went out): really, doesn't this sound more like an electrical supply/charger issue? Claimed wouldn't charge/hold charge, but didn't return because not sure if he/she had mixed up dead OEM battery with new: of course here's where the label misspelling would come in handy had the person realized. Trouble charging: seems there's a ton of reviewers who had no problem. Short lifetime: can't comment on this (yet) ... but will check back in and update my review IF that happens.

It charged normally, fit the camera like the original, and worked as expected.

I ordered this battery because the original one was forgotten in another country. I rarely use a camera, but when I take it out, the battery keeps its charge and everything is fine. Very decent quality for a copy.

It works well do the charge doesn't last as much as an original canon battery would.

This battery purchase is the 5th one I've made from SterlingTek. Every one, including this one, has been delivered on time, with the correct product, and been a terrific value. The battery works as well as the OEM model (better, actually, since it has 300mAH more power), and works perfectly in both my Canon XTi camera and Canon Optura 30 video camera (which use the same battery). I have SterlingTek batteries that I purchased for my Canon 5D, Canon XTi, Canon T2i, and Canon 5D Mk II -- all of which worked fine, never failed, and have given me years of reliable service. I recommend SterlingTek to friends regularly, and will continue to do so!

I purchased this battery to replace my aging ones for my cannon reble xt. This battery fell roughly in line with my previous batterys when they were new; though I expected this one to preform slightly better based off of mAh. It was more than adequate for my needs and was able to last 4 days (75 to 120 exposures a day) without dieing. While it is too early to know the longevity of the battery, for the price it's been good bang for my buck.

I really had my doubts of generic batteries. Owners manuals will warn you of non-genuine parts voiding warranty, but since the warranty on my camera is up, I thought I would give these a try. This works great in my Canon XTi. I can take hundreds of photos on a single charge just like the genuine batteries. Charging takes less than an hour from near empty! No fires and no errors from using this battery so I cannot complain. It also includes a snap-on protector to prevent the contacts from shorting out in your pocket. Great money-saver on older Canon EOS's.

My Canon Powershot S30 was getting to the point where I could only snap 4 or 5 photos, and I had to do it quickly or the camera would shut down on me instantly! Well, call me slow, but I just figured things aren't built to last anymore and my camera was slowly dying. It never occurred to me that it could be that the battery, not the camera, was dying! One day I had a lightbulb flash over my head, a eureka moment, and bought this generic battery. It charged up in a jiffy and guess what--i have a new camera! For the price of this battery, it can't be beat. Especially when you consider I'd given up my camera for lost. sadly, I bought another camera before this realization came over me. If your digicam is not functioning properly, if it shuts down unexpectedly, look first to the battery. i wish I would have. Also, this battery lasts longer that the original battery the camera came with. I'd be willing to buy another for a spare.
