Great replacement for OEM battery
The rechargeable battery that came with our S500 camera had been slowly deteriorating over some time, but it really became evident when we tried taking pictures on our vacation at Whistler (I know that the battery performance is degraded in adverse weather conditions, but it was getting ridiculous, to the point that the low battery indicator came on after just one or two pictures, after just having been charged). Anyways, finally decided to just replace the battery. I have to admit, the 2-pack for the price of less than one OEM replacement was what initially caught my attention. The gold contact was more a subconscious motivator than real selling point (although I hope it lives up to my expectations). We charged it and dropped in and voila, new life. So far, the battery is performing admirably - I don't know if we tolerated the old battery too long, but the flash recharge and overall performance is second to none. The real test will come in three years, when the warranty expires. If the battery continues working as it has been, I'm sure it will be a fun and photo-filled three years.

Inaccurate Product Description
The product description for this product specifies that they are Pro Power batteries. However the batteries that you get will be of any random generic make so these reviews are meaningless. While one particular generic brand of batteries may be good, another might be lousy. Even though the Amazon product description is for Pro Power batteries with the following specs:
* Utilizes BSP Technology: Surge Protection, Thermal Cut-off, Overload Protection, Guards against short circuits
* No Memory effect - Recharge at any time
the batteries you get may or may not meet these specs. Additionally, having researched these batteries on the web, the Pro Power ones come with a 3YR warranty (as well as the gold contacts) which the other generics ones do not. I called three of the seller on the Amazon webpage offering these batteries. None of them were selling the Pro Power brand as the product description states. The batteries may be good or not.

Solid Battery
I bought this battery to replace the factory battery (came with the camera when I bought it) that had all but lost its ability to retain a charge. This battery is a pretty solid replacement, although I don't think it performs as well as a new factory battery.

It fits the camera, the factory charger, and works well with the camera and I recommend this inexpensive replacement if your factory battery begins to wane.

Thanks,

Michael
