The rechargeable battery that came with our S500 camera had been slowly deteriorating over some time, but it really became evident when we tried taking pictures on our vacation at Whistler (I know that the battery performance is degraded in adverse weather conditions, but it was getting ridiculous, to the point that the low battery indicator came on after just one or two pictures, after just having been charged). Anyways, finally decided to just replace the battery. I have to admit, the 2-pack for the price of less than one OEM replacement was what initially caught my attention. The gold contact was more a subconscious motivator than real selling point (although I hope it lives up to my expectations). We charged it and dropped in and voila, new life. So far, the battery is performing admirably - I don't know if we tolerated the old battery too long, but the flash recharge and overall performance is second to none. The real test will come in three years, when the warranty expires. If the battery continues working as it has been, I'm sure it will be a fun and photo-filled three years.

The product description for this product specifies that they are Pro Power batteries. However the batteries that you get will be of any random generic make so these reviews are meaningless. While one particular generic brand of batteries may be good, another might be lousy. Even though the Amazon product description is for Pro Power batteries with the following specs:
* Utilizes BSP Technology: Surge Protection, Thermal Cut-off, Overload Protection, Guards against short circuits
* No Memory effect - Recharge at any time
the batteries you get may or may not meet these specs. Additionally, having researched these batteries on the web, the Pro Power ones come with a 3YR warranty (as well as the gold contacts) which the other generics ones do not. I called three of the seller on the Amazon webpage offering these batteries. None of them were selling the Pro Power brand as the product description states. The batteries may be good or not.

I bought this battery to replace the factory battery (came with the camera when I bought it) that had all but lost its ability to retain a charge. This battery is a pretty solid replacement, although I don't think it performs as well as a new factory battery.

It fits the camera, the factory charger, and works well with the camera and I recommend this inexpensive replacement if your factory battery begins to wane.

Thanks,

Got these batteries for vacation, the original is starting to die out on my Canon ELPH S400. Shipping was not as fast as I would have liked but good thing I ordered early. One of the batteries actually did not last very long after the initial charge (only able to take about 10 pics). I charged both fully. The other was fine. But after charging the "bad" one again it seems to be working fine. The fit is not exactly the same as the original from Canon, it's a little more snug. Worked fine on my vacation. Overall, for the price it's a good deal.

I am pleased with the quality of the digetal batteries for our Canon Power Shot. However, the shipping was slow.

I'm a little bit dissapointed. It was advertised the two batteries and one tripod and they just send the batteries. Besides there were China made batteries with poor quality.

I've taken thousands of photos in the past 13 months using these batteries in my Canon Powershot s400 and s230 digital cameras. Correction: using *one* of these batteries. The other one is a total dud. It lasts about as long as my 5-year old originals from Canon.

To be fair, the working battery is terrific. It holds a charge for well over 100 photos with the LCD turned on. The other battery lasts about 10 photos.

When I contacted BargainCell for a replacement I was rudely told I'm out of luck because the warranty is only 30 days. Trouble is, the dead battery appeared fine for the first two months because it was winter and I wasn't using it much.

Advice: DO NOT BUY. A quality battery should have at least a one year warranty. Even though one of the batteries was fine, I still need two batteries for long days of photography. And now I have the hassle of researching and ordering another battery.

If you do order these batteries or another 2-pack, make sure you label each battery and carefully track the performance of each. I hadn't done that, and it took a while before I figured out that one of my new batteries was dead.

I acquired two new rechargeable lithium batteries for my aging Canon S330
Digital ELF for less than $10 including shipping. Now it feels like a new
camera! Although the camera is only two megapixels, I am not quite as eager
to get rid of it as when I thought the only solution to the "one-shot" battery
problem was to buy a whole new camera. I was able to keep shooting, with the
display on constantly, for more than an hour on the new battery.

I've only had the batteries for a couple of weeks, but so far everything is great.

They fit perfectly into both my Canon PowerShot S410 and the recharging unit.

The total price, including shipping was amazingly affordable at the time of my purchase.

As of right now, I would recommend these to anyone looking to replace the stock battery.

I bought these batteries a couple of months ago. They seemed fine for a few weeks, but now they don't hold a charge at all. The Canon batteries are a lot more expensive, but I think I'll stick with those next time.
