I know you really shouldn't expect much for the price of this battery, however I would at least think it would fit in the product that they indicated it would. I have a Canon Rebel T1i (D500) camera that this battery was supposed to fit. I originally thought it was a tight fit when I tried to put it in my camera, but after putting it in half way I realized it would not fit. At that point I had a hard time removing it. I was concerned I might damage my camera to be able to remove it.

I contacted the seller and was told to return it at my expense. Stay away from this item!

This battery was a totally waste of money. It is cheap but it actually is a poor fit for the battery chamber so I had to work really hard to get it out of the camera -- it was literally stuck in there and would not come out.

I guess you get what you pay for, but I al least expected this battery to take a charge. The most it has charged up so far is half way in a 24 hour plug in session.
