5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine in my Canon Powershot S80 (so far); does not last as long as OEM
Though the item description says 700 mAh, the unit itself says 1000 mAh. The item is branded "CTA". This is the second generic battery I've used (I lost the first one). The first one was branded "POWWER" (sic), and though it was advertised as 1500 mAh, it didn't seem to last as long as the Canon battery included with the camera, which I believe is 720 mAh...

2.0 out of 5 stars short life
I'm glad to see they've dropped the price on this battery from $10 to $3.50. They worked fine the first couple times I used them, but now they won't hold a charge at all. I just threw them away. Spend your money on something more reliable.

This review is from: Pro Series NB-2LH NB-2L Equivalent Battery For Canon Digital camera and Camcorder Models Powershot S80 S55 S60 S70 Elura 60 65 Optura 40 50 60 ZR400 ZR700 EOS Digital Rebel 350 XT Rebel XT (Electronics)
Though the item description says 700 mAh, the unit itself says 1000 mAh. The item is branded "CTA". This is the second generic battery I've used (I lost the first one). The first one was branded "POWWER" (sic), and though it was advertised as 1500 mAh, it didn't seem to last as long as the Canon battery included with the camera, which I believe is 720 mAh.

Anyway, for less than half the price of a Canon brand battery, this is a pretty good deal.

Updated: After fully charging the battery for the first time, the first cycle did not seem to last very long. Still, for the price it's still OK as a spare, though probably not good enough to rely on as your main battery.

For the price you aren't taking a big risk... but I can assure you that my experience with this bayttery is very positive... every bit as good as OEM battery.

You get what you pay for with this... for a quick back-up battery, this may be a good alternative to spending $40+ on a spare canon battery, but I strongly urge anyone who gets this to have a better battery as their primary because it's probably not going to be a reliable item for lots of shooting.

I bought this as a back-up, and while it initially worked well, it wasn't long(maybe a week) before it started holding less and less charge, and then just died altogether. I wasn't horribly upset, because I'd only spent a few dollars on it, and knew what I was getting, but it would have been nice if it had held out for longer than a month.
