I bought this as a spare battery for my new Canon digital camera. The battery costs a fraction of what the store where I bought the camera wanted to charge me for an extra battery. I've been using it, along with the original battery, for about a month now. The battery life seems good and it fits the charger and camera perfectly. The only complaint, a very small one, is that that battery is very slightly thinner than Canon's so the end cap, to protect the contacts, is loose and falls off. I just put them together in a small plastic bag to keep the contacts from accidently shorting on anything.

Worked just fine for a few months. I thought it had been a great deal, but after 6 months, these batteries don't work at all!
I even thought that something was wrong with the camera, because the battery charged up just fine, but the camera wouldn't turn on. Finally, I charged the original battery that came with the camera, and it worked.
These batteries are much cheaper then the original canon batteries, but it's not worth it! I was counting on extra batteries for my trip in northern Brazil, but all I had was the one original.
Bottom line: DON'T BUY THESE BATTERIES!!!!

I purchased two of these cheap substitutes (MaximalPower 3.7V 800mAh Li-ion batteries) for the Canon NB-5L camera battery. One of them began to dangerously overheat when in my camera.
The other battery will not hold a charge beyond 10 pictures. It recharges in 5 minutes.
I consider both batteries to be defective and consequently would not recommend that anyone purchase them.
I also have a Canon NB-5L camera battery that came with my Canon PowerShot SD950 IS digital camera. It continues to function well.
