I bought this with my SD960IS to give me a "charger" while I had one battery in the camera. I read the reviews of some saying it was as good as the Canon and others saying it wouldn't hold a charge. I love a bargain so I took the gamble. Even at less than $10, this item is NOT worth it. My Canon battery charged and worked for several days. At the end I was zooming in and out and playing video trying to get the battery to die so I could try this battery. The Canon lasted long after the battery warning came on. This battery charged for those several days, but after a few photos started to flash low battery warnings. I never even got the chance to try video on it. If you're at an event, this would give you about 45minutes of life. No problem if you are at home and have your second battery charging- it will get you through the gap. But if you're away from a charging place, say out and about on vacation, this battery does not fill the bill. I'm really disappointed and wished I had put the money towards a Canon battery equal to the one that came with the camera.

poor battery life. Full charge can take about 50 shots. Buy Canon one. Those would last very long.

This is an awesome and inexpensive replacement battery for my Canon SD-630 digital camera. The OEM Canon NB-4L battery is $35 and this was around $6. Can't beat that. It has a very long life and works great with my camera. I bought one of these previously and it lasted my 3 yrs before it wouldn't hold a charge anymore. Great return on a $6 investment!

I have been using this for several months. I am buying a second one to replace the original Canon battery, which has run its course. Great value for the price. You need to fully charge these 3-5 times to get the maximum battery life, as with all batteries.

The very fine prints says to charge your battery for 10 hours before using it the first time. The next time it only takes 2 hours to charge it. You need to charge 3-5 times before the battery reaches its full capacity.

If $35 seems too much for a Canon battery, buy it anyway. This cheap battery pack is a poor replacement for the battery made by Canon, and it shows. After fully recharging it, it lasts about 10 minutes shooting HD video before shutting off. I installed the CHDK firmware to check the battery level more accurately, and noted that the battery level dropped about 1-2% every second. Please, just spend the extra cash for the Canon battery; you'll be thanking yourself later.

This battery is much less expensive than the original Canon battery. I use it every day and hold the Canon battery in reserve. No problems with the battery, and the Amazon service was reliable as always.

I tried to charge the battery but it wouldn't charge. The charging light would flash on and then go off. I know it is not the charger b/c it charges my canon battery fine. That's what I get for trying to save some $.

I bought this battery because Amazon recommended it for the Canon ST780 camera that I also bought. However, the battery would NOT charge in the Canon charger. I am returning for a replacement (hoping for a better battery).

It showed up fast....I charged it till the green light came on and even left it overnight just to make sure. The battery ran out quickly the very next day...after about 45 min. I knew it was too good to be true. Luckily I bought one of the Canon ones at the same time and was ready to go...The Canon one works great!

I can't tell the difference between this battery and the Canon brand battery that came with my camera. and this battery is at fraction of the cost for another Canon brand. it's a steal if you ask me.
