I always used two Canon batteries, because I would always go to an event and find out one would die after a about 80 or so photographs. This is not the case with this replacement battery. I bought two just like the cannon original batteries I had used in the past. I have been on 3 or 4 events since the purchase and I have yet to use the second battery. This battery is cheaper and many times better than the canon original. I believe you cannot go wrong on the price and performance it offers.

This battery lasts longer, even with flash photos. I was concerned with buying an off-brand, but it did what I needed and laster longer than I thought. It does have a higher mAh rating that the standard Canon battery. I did not conduct head-to-head controlled tests, but my older Canon battery has never lasted all day, this battery did.

I ordered this product from Thememstore, expecting to get an Ultralast branded battery, but I received a MaximalPower branded battery instead. Since none of the other reviewers mentioned exactly which brand they received, and knock-off camera batteries like this can vary greatly in quality between one manufacturer and another, I think this is important to note.

I don't know if this was due to some kind of glitch with Amazon, where sellers of similar but differently branded products were grouped together, or if Thememstore changed their battery supplier without updating their product page.

As for the battery itself, it seems to do a pretty good job. I recently took it on a trip where I was taking a lot of pictures, and it would typically last 2/3 of a day, which by my reckoning is about twice as long as my 5 year old Canon OEM battery. However, I did get the impression that this battery gets hotter than the OEM battery, but this didn't cause any problems for me. Also, the packaging claims that its capacity is 1200mAh.

This battery works very well on almost every circunstances, and it charge lasts for very long if rightly used. The only thing to say is that I tried to used in a cold environment (about 20F) and it did not work, but I guess no camera battery would do in such cold.

I am very happy after purchasing this battery. Like several of the other reviewers, I bought this with some slight reservations about getting an off-brand replacement, although I was encouraged by the positive ratings. But I am completely satisfied - I bought this as a backup battery to use on vacation in my Elph S410, and it performed just as well as the original Canon battery. Not bad for costing about 10X less!

I am thrilled with these bateries. Our Cannon batteries which came with the camera were no longer holding their charge for more than 10 pictures. We struggled with buying new batteries or a new camera since there wasn't much difference in price. Then, I found these! I couldn't believe the price! I brought them on vacation and they held their charge for tons of pictures. I'll buy them again in a hearbeat and highly recommend them!

Being prepared for the worst, the happy surprise has been the excellent performance of this battery in my Canon S400. Highly recommend.

The title pretty much sums up the review. I've tried various brands of replacement batteries for my camera from Canon (best until this one) to Digipower (garbage). This one works well, lasts for a number of shots, and does not self-discharge quickly.

The battery received was not the brand name Ultralast which the company advertised for sale, but some un-labeled, no upc code, probably Chinese nockoff. I emailed seller and they agreed to return it but not worth the hassle to me. After reading lots of reviews I chose SF Planet to purchase from hoping to get the Ultralast brand, I was wrong.

Cheap is cheap I guess. This battery pack does not work well with my Cannon compact. The power meter never knows the status of the battery (it either works or it does not - no warning), and often the battery creates an error on the camera. This occurs only at start up, and sometimes it looks like a diagnostic other times it is a very different battery low warning then Cannon Batteries provides (black screen with large white letters warning of low battery). The irony is that the warning has always happened right after the battery is charged. I can say that they are cheap, they work, but they are wildly unpredictable.
