Product Description

This is a high capacity replacement battery. The higher the mAh rating, the more power a battery can store and the longer it will last per charge. This battery is CE certified and built to meet or exceed the OEM specification. It is guaranteed to safely power all cameras that use the Canon LP-E5 battery. The lithium ion chemistry of this battery makes it 100% memory free. Unlike Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) batteries, lithium ion batteries don't have a "memory effect" which shortens their capacity. They can be partially charged and/or discharged without worry of shortened battery life. Are you concerned about protecting the environment? Do you worry about exposing your family to electronics containing hazardous heavy metals (such as lead or mercury)? You can rest easy knowing this battery is manufactured in accordance with the strict RoHS standards, which call for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Unlike most aftermarket power supplies, our batteries have undergone rigorous cell cycle testing before leaving our factory. If a battery does not pass our benchmark testing for superior performance, it will be eliminated from the production line. This guarantees the best possible quality in all our batteries and virtually eliminates the chance of a product being shipped dead on arrival. This battery includes a 3-year warranty. Because we use premium cells and the highest quality components, we are confident that the battery will last the duration of the warranty and beyond. However, in the rare case where you experience a problem with the battery within the warranty period, it will be replaced promptly. Battery Specs: 7.4V, 750mAh, Rechargeable Li-Ion; Compatibility: Canon EOS Rebel XSi.

1.0 out of 5 stars Battery is not as described. Beware, October 24, 2008

The product description says this a 2000mah battery, which is twice the OEM Canon battery and would be a great deal. So I ordered it. When I received this product, it was only 800mah, less than OEM and not worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive Product, October 24, 2008

This could not be more deceptive advertising. The "Technical Details" clearly state "2000 mAh Power".....in fact, the battery shipped is only 800 mAh. Also, the Battery does not fit well in the Camera, as it is slightly oversized, and has to be forced out of the batter compartment.....Nobody should buy this defective, and deceptive product....at any price!

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fit, good for a backup, but half the life of stock Canon battery., January 6, 2009

Fits perfectly into the Canon Digital Rebel XSi camera. Good as a backup.
You'd expect proportional life from a 800mAh battery (it should a little less than 4/5 the life of the stock 1080 mAh battery) but this battery lasts only half as long as the stock Canon battery.
