Product Description Li-Ion, 1600mAh, 7.4volt Canon BP-511 replacement digital camera battery pack. UltraLast offers the same performance and quality as the Canon brand battery but at a value price. Reviews I use this battery as a spare battery for my Canon 30D camera. After almost a year of use I cannot distinguish between this and Canon OEM battery in terms of battery life, quality, ease of use. No issues of any kind. However, it was about $13.50 back then. I would purchase this battery again. Great product! When our original battery died I didn't want to pay full price for a new one. The Canon batteries were much more expensive at the time so we got this one. It's been working so well I forgot that we bought a knock-off. It's been working perfectly, no complaints. I purchased two of these in March, 2008 from Amazon. I have several genuine Canon BP-511 and BP-511A batteries. So, these were used more or less for back up. A few weeks ago I noticed the termianls have greenish corrosion at the edges. They were completely discharged and will not charge at all. I used them in Canon battery grips, and together they experienced less than 300 life-time shutter actuations. Last I used them was in August, 2009 in Canada's Northwest Terriories, while I was charging my two Canon batteires. I did notice they drained very fast, taking only about 200 pictures together. One of them could have been going bad at that time. After the last use, I had them charged fully, and they were left out of camera with Canon plastuc battery protective cover on, and stored in room temperature. I have been using BP511 and 511A since 2002, in 300d, 60D, 30D and 40D, and I had never had any of my genuine Canon batteries to go bad, yet. Even my first one which came with my first Canon digital camera is still functioning well. It is almost 8 years old, and went through over 10,000 shutter actuations. The Amazon reviews on Ultralst batteries were generally good when I purchased them. I wonder how long they used the product before they wrote the reviews. I did not have very good experience with the two I bought, and will not think about buying the same product again. I am often hesitant to purchase 3rd-party parts for important equipment, wary of compatibility and reliability. But this battery performs well, holds a charge for a good long time. I will wait to see what it's lifetime proves to be... AS good as the brand name without the brand name price. It's great and it's a battery.
