This battery produces less power (780mAh) compared to the Canon battery at 1120mAh. A 33% difference. This also affects sustained power available to the camera to charge the flash or operate lens motors, and decreases the amount of useful battery life you'll receive.

I would get one of these as a back-up, but I would not depend on it one bit. If Canon specifies a 1120mAh battery, they do so because it will work reliably in the camera over its entire temperature range (and over the life of the camera) to give you predictable and reliable performance. Using a lower power battery could cause any number of intermittent, nagging problems (that I've experienced all too much as a photographer.)

Buyer beware. :-)

I bought four assuming that at least one would fail, they all worked. All for a price of less than $20 (about $5 each with shipping), so it was still much less than one canon battery. They don't last as long as the canon which is why I gave a four star review, but for the price it was still worth it. I used them intensively for three weeks with no issues. I wonder how they will hold up over the long haul, but so far, so good.

I was very skeptical about this battery because of the price, but I figured it was so inexpensive I might as well try it since I wouldn't be losing that much cash. Wow, was I surprised. This battery performs on par with the canon battery that came with the camera. I bought 2. Why waste your money on a name brand with product like these around?

The battery that came with my Canon SX230 HS was an 1120mAh. These are rated 1400mAh. Based on that they should last even longer without recharging. I have not bothered to do a comparison between how long the Canon battery lasts versus this one, but this one definitely lasts a long time. Unhreal price. I'm very happy with this battery!

This battery is horrible! It lasts for no more then 3 pictures... then my camera shuts down. Take it out and put it back in.. get a few more shots. Then dead. Replace battery displays on my screen.

I bought this one as an extra battery, but it stopped working after 6 months. After that it didn't charge up or hold a charge.

Purchased 3, and they all seem to work. At this price you can afford to buy several to have on hand when you need them.

Compared to the Canon OEM battery, these seem to last just as long, but they are ever so slightly larger, which makes for a tight fit in my Canon PowerShot SX230 HS so it is hard to take them out.

So far this battery is working just as well as the $50 Canon I bought at the camera store. At this price I would recommend having a few spare around so you don't miss any good photo opportunities!

battery is verygood,lastlong in useWith my camera I took over 300picsbut battery still work ,I keep using my camera more than 1 week
