Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Charger for Canon NB-5L and Canon PowerShot S100, S110, SD700 IS, SD790 IS, SD800 IS, SD850 IS, SD870 IS, SD880 IS, SD890 IS, SD900 IS, SD950 IS, SD970 IS, SD990 IS, SX200 IS, SX210 IS, SX220 IS, SX230 HS

Worked perfect for my camera battery!

I bought these for a trip to Disney World. They work with either a Canon S100 or S110. I also have an STK battery and Canon OEM battery, so 4 total. I wanted to be certain to have enough battery life to make it through a whole day, and sadly, I don't think one exists for my camera, so I settled on having plenty of spares to swap between until I can get back to my hotel and recharge them.After spending a few days on each battery, here's my experience. All three brands seem to have a similar life. I didn't measure exact times, but in general, each got me through about 70% of the day before swapping them, where my camera was on for around an hour, for a handful of pictures and maybe a half an hour of video recording. That's not amazing, but I blame the camera design more than the battery design, since they all performed similarly. I also sway more to video than photos, which burns through power much faster. If I only took pictures, I would probably be able to make it through a whole day without swapping.So given the observed battery life, I feel like this is a pretty good deal since you also get a charger. This makes it so I can recharge two at the same time (one with the charger included with the camera). Both the charger and batteries seem to perform comparably to the Canon ones, so while I prefer purchasing first-party accessories, the price difference is so drastic that it's hard to ignore this set. I'm pretty happy with it overall.The STK also performed about the same, and is a little cheaper, but this bundle includes more so is probably the best overall value. If you don't mind spending more than double the price, you can go for the Canons, but otherwise these seem like a pretty good alternative.

Works fine for camera

First of all, I have nothing but the highest regard for the seller, Blue Nook. I've dealt with them in the past and their customer service has been outstanding. Indeed, that is one of the reasons I purchased this product was because of the seller's reputation.Now, onto the product. The charger works very well. It has foldable outlet prongs for easy packing. It has a red LED to indicate that the battery is being charged and a green LED to indicate that the battery is fully charged. While I didn't specifically test the charger, it seems to do the job in about as much time as the OEM Canon charger. I didn't try out the car recharger. (It's something that I have never resorted to - but, it's nice to have the option.)After 3 cycles of fully charging and fully discharging the batteries, I tested each of the two batteries against the factory Canon battery. Operating my Canon SX230 on HD movie mode, the batteries recorded the following times:Canon original _ 56 minutes, 10 secondsWasabi no. 1 _ 52 minutes, 29 secondsWasabi no. 2 _ 53 minutes, 06 secondsAs you can see, both Wasabi batteries were consistent with each other, averaging 52 minutes, 48 seconds. This was 94% of the recording time achieved by the Canon original battery. So, while the Wasabi product is labeled as "1400 mAH" and the Canon original is labeled as "1120 mAH"; the Canon lasted longer in this test. YMMV.While the test results were a little disappointing, I'd still rate this as a good product at a good price.(Note: In actual use, the difference between the Wasabi batteries and the Canon battery was not noticeable.)

As a backup, this package fits the bill. Wasabi battery longevity is all over the board, but trends mostly toward the positive. The package contains two, and one of mine barely holds a charge, but the others seem to go just as long as the original Canon battery, if not longer. With a spare charger for your car, this represents the best value for the money. If it is super important to you that you pay $60 for a Canon branded battery, go right ahead. If you feel like saving some scratch, and need the power to shoot all day, buy five of these packages of these any carry around ten spares for when your original dumps the bed. You'll still be out the same money as one extra canon battery, and you'll have 300-500% more on-demand power to play with.A+, would buy again.

All batteries correctly labeled, fit the product they were said to be compatible with, and worked out of the box as advertised.Have not used them long enough to say much on longevity or battery life over all but so far they seem entirely comparable to the original and the charger works on the original battery as well.

My wife and I just completed a trip to Europe and these batteries worked great with our Canon PowerShot S100! Usually, one battery was able to get us through the entire day, which is about what we could expect with the originals.The charger would be perfect if they could eliminate some of the bulk, however. Because it was so large, I ended up using Canon's OEM charger, which was much more compact, to charge these batteries. It seemed to me that they could have cut a lot of the size out of this product.It was nice that they included a European adapter with the charger. I actually used this more than the charger! The adapter turned out to be better than the one I had brought with me because it accepts the polarity plugs that have one prong larger than the other. The car charger seemed like a nice addition, although we didn't use it.

I bought mine in the Fall of 2013 and when I used it recently (April 2016), it no longer charged my battery. I put the Wasabi battery in the original Canon charger which came with the camera, and it charged. So this is not a long-term investment. On the other hand, it served its purpose, which was to take on my travels, and not worry too much if it got lost or stolen. And the batteries seem fine, still holding a charge after three years of use.
