This battery was a great price. I thought so anyway until I tried to take a picture with my camera and it wouldn't turn on. I assumed I just forgot to recharge it. But no, one month and a few charges is all it lasted.

I purchased two of these, and I guess the old adage of "buyer beware" when faced with an unbelievable price is a lesson to learn again. The two BP-511's I ordered came promptly, but on first use in my video camera at an important marching band competition (for which we were representing the school as the official videographers) the battery dropped rapidly from full to half to quarter is 6 minutes, causing us to stop filming and losing precious minutes of the 10-minute performance.

Don't bother with these... they are certainly NOT 1800 mAh as advertised (and in fact, the batteries are almost half the weight of my original BP-512's, 1.5 oz vs. almost 3 oz, indicating a serious lack of battery material packed inside the normal size casing).
