Product Description

This is a 1400mAh high capacity replacement battery. The higher the mAh rating, the more power a battery can store and the longer it will last per charge. It contains premium Japanese grade A battery cells and is guaranteed to outperform the Canon original battery. This battery is CE certified and built to meet or exceed the OEM specification. It is guaranteed to safely power all cameras that use the NB-5L battery. The lithium ion chemistry of this battery makes it 100% memory free. Unlike Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) batteries, lithium ion batteries don't have a "memory effect" which shortens their capacity. They can be partially charged and/or discharged without worry of shortened battery life. Are you concerned about protecting the environment? Do you worry about exposing your family to electronics containing hazardous heavy metals (such as lead or mercury)? You can rest easy knowing this battery is manufactured in accordance with the strict RoHS standards, which call for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Unlike most aftermarket power supplies, our batteries have undergone rigorous cell cycle testing before leaving our factory. If a battery does not pass our benchmark testing for superior performance, it will be eliminated from the production line. This guarantees the best possible quality in all our batteries and virtually eliminates the chance of a product being shipped dead on arrival. This battery includes a 3-year warranty. Because we use premium Japanese cells and the highest quality components, we are confident that the battery will last the duration of the warranty and beyond. However, in the rare case where you experience a problem with the battery within the warranty period, it will be replaced promptly. Battery Specs: 3.7V, 1400mAh, Rechargeable Li-Ion; Compatible with the following Canon cameras: PowerShot SD700 IS, SD790 IS, SD800 IS, SD850 IS, SD870 IS, SD890 IS, SD900, SD950 IS.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy Canon Batteries Instead, December 12, 2009

This review is from: 1400mAh NB-5L / NB5L Replacement Battery for Canon PowerShot SD700 IS, SD790 IS, SD800 IS, SD850 IS, SD870 IS, SD890 IS, SD900, and SD950 IS - Japanese Cells (Electronics)

I tried to save a few bucks and bought a couple of these generic "Wasabi Power" batteries. Advertised as containing Japanese cells, these batteries are manufactured in China. Despite having an alleged rating of 1400mAh (compared to Canon's 1120mAh) these batteries - fresh out of the charger - only lasted about half the time compared to the original Canon battery. If you need a relatively inexpensive backup battery when you need to squeeze out a few more shots, then you could probably make do with these. However, if you plan on shooting for any appreciable amount of time, I suggest biting the bullet and paying Canon a little more money for the OEM replacement. At least you know it will be reliable.

I refuse to Pay CANON $46.00 for these batteries! I have purchased 44 canon Elph Cameras so far and never have less than two batteries with me at all times. I paid about $15.00 here and this allows me to have three on hand for the price of one. I have a car charger and the normal charger and never ruin an event by running out of battery to allow for a great shoot...no limits in power available all day!
I also use Amazon to buy the Digital Elf KIT which gives you a genuine CANON battery and the Leather Case and a very nice Metal Neck Strap, for around $48.00. That is a Combination and a price that you cannot beat anywhere!

This review is from: 1400mAh NB-5L / NB5L Replacement Battery for Canon PowerShot SD700 IS, SD790 IS, SD800 IS, SD850 IS, SD870 IS, SD890 IS, SD900, and SD950 IS - Japanese Cells (Electronics)

I am using this battery with my Canon PowerShot SD990 IS and it is equal to if not better than the Canon OEM battery which would have cost me $58.
This is a really good value!
