Wasabi PowerBattery (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

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

I bought this more for the charger, then for the batteries. The batteries are a bonus though.Canon 790 IS is the camera I have. The battery in it lasts for a long time, I only have to charge it like twice a year. It holds it's charge forever, at least it feels that way any way. I don't use it that much, but it's always ready to go, when I pick it up.I just moved, and misplaced the charge, I still have it, but it's in one of a hundred totes, and I don't feel like diving for it. Easier to just buy another one.This is a good deal.One thing though, this does work in the USA. The plug prongs fold in the back. It talks about plug for Europe, but doesn't say USA. Made my worry this was for only Europe. Till I found a picture of the back of the unit. Then I placed my order.I think they should update the specs to say, USA and Europe. So, people aren't confused.Don't know how good the batteries are, but the charger seems to work fine with the OEM battery that came with my camera.Would recommend!

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.)

After losing the original battery charger for my camera, I purchased this replacement charger because it came with the additional batteries and the car outlet adapter. All for less than the replacement OEM charger alone. I'm satisfied with the quality of the charger and really like having the two extra batteries so I can go for longer trips without having to bring the charger along to get lost again. I also like that the extra batteries came with plastic end caps that will prevent the possibility of shorting the spares while they kick around in my camera bag. Delivery was prompt, packaging was acceptable, and I have nothing to complain about except that I might need to get a bigger camera bag to hold the extra batteries and the car adapter. (And, miraculously, I didn't find the old charger the day after the new one arrived either!)
