I was in Europe for two weeks using the camera extensively and it was flawless. I was a bit apprehensive as I've been burned by cheap Chinese crap in the past, but I have to admit, the product worked as advertised.
I received the battery only 4 days after I ordered it. The battery at Walmart was $44.
A full battery charge last just as long as the battery that came with my camera. This battery works fine in my Canon SD1100 camera which is what I bought it for.
I purchased this battery from a Amazon network supplier. The part number and the wattage are the same as a Duracell Battery that was at Walmart.
The camera also works great by the way. The part number was identical.
I thought this was very fast service considering shipping was free.
Don't buy one. This battery would not turn the camera on, so I charged it in the charger that came with the camera and it still won't turn the camera on. I would return it but I don't have the original packaging.
ps: I do analysis of energy efficiency for consumer goods for a living, and have thought a lot about batteries. It could be that I got unlucky, but I suspect that it just is a cheaply made battery with bad manufacturing tolerances. The battery I purchased does not hold very much charge. It lasts about 25% of the time for the "Canon" brand battery.
I was charged $34.99 for the battery and $10.95 for shipping for a total of $45.94. Lenmar DLC4L Lithium-ion Digital Camera/Camcorder Battery Equivalent to the Canon NB-4L Battery.I ordered this battery so that I would always have a spare one. Definitely learned a big lesson with this purchase. Then I found the same battery, available for $19.95 with free shipping for prime customers. Always beware of the "best value" (buy together today). It is not always the best value.
