Customer Reviews

A bit of false advertising, but a great replacement!4
I just got 2 of these in the mail. They fit my Canon Rebel XS perfectly, just like the OEM battery. They also WORK! :) The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5, is that you don't get 1800mHa. I got 1080mHA's, which is the same as the OEM battery. Whatever. For $9.95, these are much better than the $45 Canon batteries! Opteka is a great brand and I trust them for sure.

Works just fine - excellent value5
Having a new camera for taking pictures of museum artifacts (primarily), I needed spare batteries to "feed my flash." Problem was that the OEM battery (Canon) was ~$70 USD each which would reduce the number of spares I could pack. Also, the OEM charger was AC only, so would not allow for recharging while in transit. Opteka to the rescue! Inexpensive batteries and a dual AC & DC charger fit my needs exactly. I used the batteries for all day shooting of museum aircraft (lots of flash usage) and they performed at least as well as the OEM battery. Recharging was quick also, being less than 90 minutes in the car, so I could always have charged batteries on hand. Excellent value and performance overall, highly recommended for the amateur photog, perhaps even for the pro. Didn't try the Opteka batteries in the Canon wall-charger as I was the Opteka charger, so cannot comment on capability. I recommend the charger & battery combination anyway because of the DC car plug.

Back up battery only3
works perfectly, but doesn't last nearly as long as the canon's original battery. would make a great emergency back-up battery. if you think you're getting the same product, you're not! you get what you pay for.
