| Features:
| • | With constant shooting, flash usage, image review and playback, especially when you have access to additional memory, your standard battery alone will not usually be sufficient. | | • | More powerful than your standard battery, this 1500mAh capacity LP-E5 will not put constraints on how you want to shoot. | | • | A battery loses power in cold weather, and can become too cold to operate the camera. Keeping a spare battery warm in your pocket to maximize battery power and periodically switching the cold battery for the warm one can significantly enhance battery performance. | | • | Memory Free! This LP-E5 can be charged at any time without harm, even if it already has a partial charge and can be typically charged over 1000 times. |

 Great replacement November 16, 2008

Ordered this battery as a backup for my Canon Rebel XSI. Item fits and works great, however the first couple times I used it, the contacts on the battery were a little tight, and the camera wouldn't release it. Just took a little jiggle and the battery would free itself. Not sure if this is what other reviewers ment when they said the battery didn't fit, but after a few uses the batter slides in and out perfectly.
Excellent product ... but October 31, 2008

When I was unable to buy the LP-E5 battery for my Canon EOS XSi from the company I bought from for my XT, I searched and found Amazon had the battery. It came with the combination AC/DC charger. Actually, it was with TWO batteries. These are rated at 1500mAh. I have used them since August with very satisfactory results - charged them maybe twice while taking several thousand photos. It was a great deal at $35.85+$6.98 shipping.
My only complaint is that this particular combo is no longer on the Amazon site. The $12.99 battery is on Amazon, but one photo shows 1500mAh and the other shows 1100mAh, made by CTA. What has happened to the batteries?
Great Value & Performance October 26, 2008

I purchased two of these batteries for my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi. They perform up to or better than the Canon brand at a fraction of the price.
Cheaper cost than Canon and performs well September 16, 2008

So far, I find that this battery performs as good as the Canon at 1/3 the price. I needed a backup and am giving it a good workout as I am using it as the primary battery in my Rebel XSI for now. Any problems and I will come back and make a report.
 Good batteries, shame they chose to lie about them September 9, 2008

The batteries I actually got were CTA batteries rated at 1100 mAh. I've had good luck with CTA batteries before, and these (I bought two) seem comparable to the battery that came with the camera. (Canon's battery is rated at 1080 mAh which, given the slop in battery ratings, is the same.) So they are good batteries at a good price.
What is unfortunate is that Cameta and Amazon have chosen to lie about the product. It is listed as a 1500 mAh battery, and the official picture shows that rating. (Note that their picture does not show a CTA battery, so the manufacturer appears to be innocent.) I've uploaded a picture of one of the the actual batteries I got, showing the 1100 mAh rating. Given the size of the battery, 1500 mAh is probably unreasonable in this package.
The batteries I got were good batteries at a good price, but they didn't match the description. So be aware that if you order them you are dealing with a dishonest vendor. You might get something different. Three stars is an average of the value of the batteries (five stars) and the dishonestly of the vendor (one star).
PS (added 20 September 2008): I've noticed that the vendor that comes up as the primary choice keeps changing. What battery you get may depend on the vendor. Amazon appears to have accumulated vendors selling replacement batteries under one entry, even though they may not all be selling replacement batteries by the same manufacturer. (Amazon lists the manufacturer as Power 2000, but I got batteries made by CTA.) I recommend checking with the vendor before ordering. The CTA batteries I got from Cameta are great, but you might get something different from another vendor. Amazon has removed the picture of the 1500 mAh battery, but not the reference to 1500 mAh in the description. I'm personally skeptical that anyone can produce a true 1500 mAh battery this small, especially at a discount price. This is very much a case where "caveat emptor" applies.
PPS (added 23 September 2008): The picture of the 1500 mAh battery is back. I don't understand what Amazon is doing with this page. Just be careful about what you order.
