Does this Chinese battery have identical battery life as the Canon original? How have you compared it?

In my experience these batteries are just as good as the originals. I haven't noticed any power difference whatsoever.E.

They are only slightly less powerful. In video mode, they don't last nearly as long. And, they don't have a memory chip that tells the camera how charged it is.If you shoot video, buy six or eight of these. They are incredibly useful, and for the price, they perform vey well. But if you are a professional, and have the money, buy canon oem batteries. If you're an amateur, just get a few. You wont regret it.

This battery is great. Last much longer and better than the canon batteries.

We have had Canon PowerShot cameras at our Site for years. We use them in Security, Maintenance, Production and in the Warehouse. We always purchase an extra battery so that when one requires recharging another one is available. I am not sure what the life of a battery is, but we have never had to purchase replacements. Just recharge and ready to go. We have always replaced the camera before the battery requires replacing. Camera replacement happens sometimes if the camera walks or if we purchase a newer model. I don't believe that you have to worry about battery life. However if you have to replace a battery, the generic ones are very inexpensive.

Yes, this is the same battery as described on Canon's web site, but at a cheaper cost. That is why I purchased this on Amazon web site. It is the same battery.

Sure.One other consideration: my Canon batteries have lasted for years with only a minor loss of capacity, the Sterlingteks I own lost a moderate amount of capacity after two years but are still useful and the other 3rd party batteries both dropped stone cold dead days after the one year warranty period expired.

I can't answer that directly as it depends on use, I expect. I don't think I've replaced one in over 5 years, but I always keep an extra on hand. I did buy one that was a dud, but think it wasn't a Canon one. Would never again try to get a cheaper one. Not worth the savings. I would recommend getting an extra new one to keep on hand if you're traveling, but sounds like yours are still going strong at this point.

I cannot give you a specific time....but, they do not 'run out' or run down noticeably fast. I have had not 'commplaints'....the battery runs the same as the Canon one

Over a year and it has worked fine for me. I use it a lot-carry it with me all the time and it charges quickly, holds the charge and performs as long as the original Canon battery if not longer.

We have been using this battery in a 6D for awhile, works perfectly and lasts longer than the original Canon battery. Not sure why you have had trouble. If it revives after opening the lid, it sounds like the battery is not seated well.

YES. The battery I received looks just like the photo, with the Canon trademark name on it.

Yes, it works with the original Canon battery, but it will have a different charging time because it has a higher capacity.

it is an aftermarket battery but I think it is just as good as the Canon labeled one. Of course, Canon doesn't make batteries so the ones with a Canon label aren't made by Canon either.

hmm- good question. I did not pay attention to that. I have been using the battery for a few weeks now and its working fine-holds a longer charge than the default camera battery that comes with camera from Sony.

No that is not. I have two of these and neither one has given me any problems. Don't let the cheap price fool you, these items have been rated very high and I read many reviews before making an order. Someone should fix this problem for you. As long as you have actual canon name brand legit batteries, you shouldn't have a problem. I would call or email them and let them know. I'm sure you can get an exchange. Hope this helps. On a side note, they sent me two when I ordered one. I have no idea why

Genuine. This is the best battery Canon has put out IMHO... outstanding battery life.

It looks like the one that came with my camera. Mine does not have any Chinese characters, only English. As far as I could tell, it is the original battery

I have the same laptop, and have been using the battery for about three weeks. So far, so good. The battery life is definitely lower than the original battery, but I didn't keep in-depth stats on the original, so it's hard to gauge. I get about 1.5 hours of life out of this battery when watching movies.
