I got this battery as my second battery for my new Canon XTi and it works great. I got it in the mail just in time to use it during a photography workshop (it came in handy). It can not tell a difference between this and the Canon brand name one (i am expecting a little shorter battery life but so far so good). For the price is a great deal, it is not worth it to get the Canon brand name for batteries given that they are not a battery company.

I recently bought this battery to use it on my Canon Digital Rebel XT, and on a side by side comparison with the Canon battery you could not tell the difference between the two, the . This high quality battery, I would definitely recommend it, the money you save could be spent on a battery grip, if you need one.

The battery last about the same as the one that came with my G9 for a fraction of the cost. Not sure about long term use though. But for the price, I can just get another one if it dies; hopefully not too soon.

I bought two of these a few weeks back. One died within two weeks of purchase. The other holds a better charge than my Canon battery.

I have been using the Ultralast-UL-NB2L battery in my Canon Rebel XT for about a month now and can definitely say that it doesn't hold a charge anywhere near as long as the Canon brand battery. While I can easily get 500-600 shots per charge with the Canon battery (even in/outdoors during winter), the Ultralast is averaging about 150-200 shots (during summer). Other reviewers have noted that this battery performs just as well as the Canon, so maybe I got unlucky with a slightly underperforming unit. In any case, it's still decent value for the money.

I would have to agree with one of the reviews. The battery I received does not look like the image on the site (that is why only 4 stars), but for the price and the way this battery works, that thought can be dis-regarded completely. The battery works great. Fits perfectly in my XTi and works as good as the one by Canon. I would buy this battery again.

Fully charged battery on external Canon charger, then tested in a Canon Rebel XT w/ Grip. At 600 snaps the battery was still registering 65% charge (meter tested). The battery holds up well against the Canon OEM battery, but only time will tell if it can hold up. I highly recommend that you keep it charged at least 30-50% when not using it and check it every couple of months to make sure it isn't about to die. This battery has a good chance of not working properly after sitting dead for a prolonged period of time (more than a week). Most of these cheap batteries are not top quality and will not suffer much abuse before giving up completely. Many are revitalized product made from the cheapest parts available. That does not however make it a bad product. If well taken care of, stored at room temperature, kept charged and not dropped - this battery should last at least 2 years, maybe three.

Though the price is great, these batteries suffer from the same problem most non-canon batteries do. That is that they will go from showing a full charge to your camera not working in 2 minutes flat. You can then take them out, put another in, and two minutes later put the same one that said it was it back it and it will only work for another 60 seconds. Totally useless. Not even worth the two bits I paid for them.

This battery does not last for more that 20 pictures with flash. Takes more time to charge than my original canon battery. I brought it to be a replacement for my canon battery. Does not solve the purpose.
Spend some money and go for Canon Original Battery!!

I have purchased Ultralast brand batteries before (Standard disposables as well as camera batteries) and been very pleased with them, so I intentionally searched for this brand on amazon. The batteries I received were in a generic blue and yellow box and the batteries themselves were not branded as Ultralast. They were a fair price for generics and they arrived quickly, but were not what was advertised. I have not used them long enough to say if they work well or not.
