   Works as expected

   No problems with this product at all, and a very good price

   Another excellent battery from Eforcity
   n

   This is the third time I’ve purchased these replacement batteries for my Canon camera. Despite what others say, every battery I’ve purchased from Eforcity works exactly the same as the original Canon batteries, which are considerably more money. I’ve put a lot of miles on the batteries — baseball games in the heat of August, freezing cold football games in November and long hiking trips — I don’t think I’ve ever drained a battery fully. Thousands of photos taken; charges quickly, lasts a long time.n

   These are great — the shipping is more expensive than the batteries themselves.

   Works, but doesn’t hold charge (read below)
   n

   I bought this battery once I noticed that my OEM battery was loosing charge rather quickly. This battery charges up and works fine, but drains sharply after a short period of usage. I don’t know if it is the camera or the battery. Hence my 3-star review. Haven’t had time to research and find the culprit.

   Very Cheap, some of these work fine, some not.
   n

   I’d rate this 3 stars now since they sent a replacement for free.n
   n
   The aftermarket battery they sent to me was defective. n
   n
   The plastic battery housing was too thin where the plastic clips are on the sides. So it did not fit in my charger, or my Canon G3 camera. Neither device recognized the battery because it didn’t make proper electrical contact. So I returned it. n
   n
   Eforcity shipped fast and shipping was a reasonable $2.98.n
   n
   The Eforcity return policy has the customer pay shipping both ways, even on defective products. n
   n
   It has a 1 year warranty while most name brand BP-511 batteries are covered for 3 years. This battery has no name brand, it says “Made in China”. We’ll see how the return goes. n

   UPDATE: March 25,2008n
   The seller “Eforcity” came through with a replacement battery free of charge and the 2nd one works fine. Fortunately they didn’t want the faulty one one back so there was no return shipping. n
   n
   Be aware there is a large market of offbrand BP-511 batteries made by different companies and sold by various venders. 1 week later this is being sold by a new vendor. So reviews may not be applicable if they ship a variety of products under the same name.

   Great price great product
   n

   I recieved my camera as a hand me down gift, and it didn’t include any batteries or charger.n
   n
   I ordered 2 of these batteries and they have both been great. Holds charge for weeks, and has been reliable when needed. I’ve used them mainly for taking photos on a hikes, snowboarding and camping and one fully charged was enough to last a 2 day trip camp.n
   n
   Would purchase again if I ever require more.
