 - Compatibility problem with Canon SD870 ISI recently bought 3 of these batteries believing that they were truly equivalent to Canon's NB-5L for my Canon SD870 IS camera. All of the 3 batteries exhibit the same symptom: Even right after being fully charged, it will cause a "Change battery pack" message on the camera. After re-inserting the battery, the message will go away. This has not happened to my Canon NB-5L battery, just these Lenmar batteries. Another problem: they don't last as long as the Canon battery. Rating: - Waste of moneyI've purchased this item one year ago from Amazon at $11.59. Should have written a review earlier. This battery doesn't work at all. After fully charging it, it only lasts around 5 minutes in my Canon SD850 (also purchased from Amazon). I've disposed of it. Rating: - Completely uselessI bought this battery on April 29, 2008. Since it's intended to be a spare battery, I hadn't needed to use it until last weekend when I went on a 3-day trip. I used it for the first time and it doesn't work. I charged it to full (the green indicator in the original Canon charger came on indicating that it was supposed to be "fully charged"). However, it just didn't work in the camera. After coming home I recharged the original Canon battery, and it works, which means that it's not the camera or charger's problem, but the Lenmar battery's. I was quite frustrated by the poor quality of this battery, as I never used it before last weekend, and kept it in a cool, dry, safe corner of my home. It was most inconvenient to me because it's completely useless when I need it the most. Yes, it's cheap, but it's not worth the hassle. Now that the 30-day return period is over, I can only get partial refund. Figuring in the time and postage on the possible return, it's not even worth the return or refund. I will NEVER EVER buy this batter again. Rating:  - Equivalent to CanonThe battery is for a Canon SD 950IS. It is indistinguisable from the OEM Canon battery It has survived a full year with no problems. I have purchased less expensive batteries from the big auction site that have failed after a years use or have degraded in their ability to retain a charge. This has not happened with the Lenmar. Rating: - Replacement BatteryI bought the battery as a second for my canon 890is, and it's worked beautifully - at 1/3 the price of the "official" battery.
