The charger works great with other batteries and work great in the car.

The problem I have is with the battery. It is either too Wide or too fat. it does not fit well in the camera. It does not spring out like the original. You have to use a knife or screwdriver to get it out.

This is a well worth it purchase if you own the XSi... heck - whatever camera you own I really recommend that you see if you can find a combination of charger/battery from this company. While the battery they send you doesn't have the expansive life that the Canon battery has, it certainly holds its own and doesn't peter out for a fair while. I shot fairly continuously while on vacation, and the battery lasted me a solid week before I decided to swap it out.

The charger works quite well... it took me a moment or two to figure out how to seat the battery correctly in it, but once I figured that out it was smooth sailing.

Overall, the product is a steal for this price!

This charger is horribly made. The LP-E5 battery does not fit, and when you press it into place, it breaks the little "lip" at the end of the charger that is supposed to hold the battery in place. The first charger came with the lip already broken. I contacted the seller, which promptly sent me another. The lip broke on my very first attempt to insert the battery. I'm not a clumsy person (yes, some people will break everything), but there's no way this battery would fit in the charger without generating undue stress on this small piece of cheap plastic. On top of that, you need to "wiggle" the contacts when plugging it or it won't work (cheap contacts.) This is such a cheap product that I'd be concerned about leaving it unattended or charging a battery overnight. I'd give it zero stars if I could.
