So it comes with 2 batteries? Why doesn't it come with an extra Canon battery? The 3rd party batteries are known to damage cameras.

I have used both batteries for over a year now. No damage to the camera, long battery life for both. I have not had to use the power pack as most of the shooting I do is during my hikes.

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.

Thank you for your interest in our listing! In regards to your inquiry, there is a second aftermarket battery included with the bundle. The camera itself comes packaged with a Canon OEM battery. The spare batteries that we include with our bundles are either by Power2000 or LE. However, the battery grip included is by Xit, another aftermarket brand. Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Adilah, I've never had to worry about the purchase of an extra battery, I just make sure to charge my camera once the battery indicator shows "low battery". Also, if you remove your battery from the camera, you'll be able to see the type of battery required if in the event you do choose to purchase a secondary battery.

It comes with one battery and an external charger (that's standard from canon), but if you shoot video or spend a lot of time away from power (such as a sporting event), I've found it's wise to invest in 2 more batteries and another charger. Wasabi Power has a good one (on amazon), for only $20.

The package includes one original battery. The two other are not from Canon. I use the camera for taking pictures from my family and I didn´t have any problem with the battery authonomy.

well, it doesnt come with a battery, i bought it separate. But the battery I got lasts a good amount of time, i try to plug in my monitor if im near a plug, but on location i've had the battery last more than i needed to to. I was shooting for about 2 hours and just turning it on when i needed and i had no problems. I really like this product, i like it for using on my dolly and getting low to the ground with it attached on top of my camera so i can get low angles. hope that helps

I bought the extra battery. The original sent with the Birb Elite package lasts about 65% of the time the after market one on amazon does. I charge both and have the spare ready for when either dies. Its little cost compared to missing a video or great picture shorts that come once in a life time. When only taking 16 mp pictures the battery goes forever. When on Wide angle video I get about 3 plus hours on the packaged battery and almost 4.5 on the aftermarket.

It came with two batteries, that's why I thought it was a good deal. You can buy extra batteries if you like.

This comes with a battery and charger. As always, Canon recommends a full charge before you use the camera. Please note that a partial re-charge on the battery reduces battery life, so start with a full charge. It's worth the wait.

My daughter & I both have that camera. When I purchased my camera from Amazon I also got a Canon charger for that type of battery. When my daughter lost her charger I got her another one on Amazon another from a different manufacturer as well as some more rechargeable batteries. With that much zoom your wear down your battery faster so I'm glad I now carry extra charged batteries.

It comes with a battery for the camera, not the flash, it takes 4 - AA batteries. Would suggest buying an extra battery for the camera.Orvill

The camera comes with it's own Canon battery, and yes it also has a charger too. :)

You have to charge it outside the camera. It's a very good idea to have a spare battery, as your battery will inevitably run down at the worst possible moment. Be aware that Canon will not honor the warranty if a non-Canon battery causes a problem. That didn't stop me from buying a cheaper, third-party battery as a back-up, though, as the cost difference was substantial.

It does not come with an extra battery. If you need one, I suggest buying a generic one on eBay or some other online retailer. It will cost less than 1/4 what an OEM Fuji battery costs.
