My BP-819, which works great and most day in Disney lasted the whole day. With original battery being my backup. One thing I could not find on the net was the sizes of the Canon batteries. And the paperwork that came with my Canon BP-819 gives all of the follow dimensions

BP-808 1.2x0.9x1.6in (30.7x23.3x40.2mm) 1.6oz (46g) 890mAh
BP-809 1.2x1.1x1.6in (30.7x27.5x40.2mm) 1.7oz (47g) 890mAh
BP-819 1.2x1.6x1.6in (30.7x39.4x40.2mm) 3.0oz (85g) 1780mAh
BP-827 1.2x2.2x1.6in (30.7x55.7x40.2mm) 4.3oz (121g) 2670mAh

So, from this it should help determine how far the battery will stick out from the back of your camera. And how much additional weight and battery life you will get with each.

5.0 out of 5 stars The natural Choice to make, August 20, 2008

This is the battery that should come with your video camera by default.

What do you do if you want to record events that last longer than 1.5 hours ? You upgrade the battery, right.

The BP-827 (4.5h) is not easy available yet everywhere so the BP-819 becomes the only choice.

It can last close to 3h and thats enough to capture most events.
(Fireworks, school event of your kid, concerts, theatre etc.).

With the external charger the battery is charged in roughly the same time (3h) with the cameras included charger its taking 4h.

This battery is the best investment you can make for your HF-100. Whereas the default battery lasts under an hour, this one lasts easily over two hours with very little extra weight. It is a little larger but I find the larger size actually helps me stabilize while using the camera by placing my thumb under the battery. I wouldn't own the HF-100 camera without this battery.
