5.0 out of 5 stars Same as Canon, December 12, 2003

I bought the Canon Digital Rebel like a month ago, it came with an original Canon bp-511 battery, but in addition I also ordered a sunpak equivalent to have a spare. I see no difference whatsoever between those two batteries, except that the sunpak is more than 10$ cheaper! It also "seems" to me that the sunpak recharges faster (than the original) with the same Canon battery charger that came with the camera, but again it's just an impression...

I bought this battery as spare for my Canon Digital Rebel. However, the charger that came with the camera (CB-5L) would not charge it (no blinking lights). Not sure if the battery was defective or just incompatible. If you only need one extra battery as I did, I would recommend just paying the extra $$ and getting the Canon battery.

Same outcome as the other reviewers...this battery is NOT compatible with the charger that comes with the Canon EOS Digital Rebel. Beware!!
