It should be noted that this is NOT an actual Canon brand battery. It is FOR Canon. It seems to work just fine, but it's an important distinction for folks that don't want to risk it.

As it says, this battery is 7.2V and 1500mAh. The battery pack that comes with the XSi is 7.4V and 1080mAh. Once again, important to some people. For others, the battery works.

The only real complaint I have for a battery that is 1/5 of the price of the real one is that at some point, the battery casing is a hair too big. This can cause the battery to get stuck in the camera. Something small like a toothpick or paperclip can easily be used to unstick it.

All in all, it's definitely cheaper than the official replacement and seems to work just fine. It's handy to have a spare around.

I ordered this battery with reservations because other users said it was difficult taking the battery out of the camera. It fits just as well as the battery that came with the camera. I usually charge my batteries before a shoot for caution so I can only say that after 700 shots the battery indicator displays full power. With the savings over Canon's battery this is a very good choice. I would buy this battery again without hesitation.

Response was quick. I got it in two days. The battery is a little bit thick causing the battery to get stuck in the camera. I peeled off the stick-on label and that solve the problem. IMHO, it should have been printed on the battery.
