Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CTA Digital DB-NB4L Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Cameras
Customer Review: it works
Summary: 5 Stars
this battery does it's job and works fine. although, i am much more satisfied with the life of the canon battery that came with the camera i purchased. but if you are looking for a simple replacement while the canon battery charges then this is a nice one to have in reserve. i took about 200 pictures and maybe 20 minutes of video and the battery didn't last much longer after also reviewing many pictures and watching the video as well. i'm confident the canon battery would have kept on going. overall, i'm glad i have this replacement as a backup for when the canon battery dies.Customer Review: OK as a backup
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this battery over a year ago to use as a backup to the Canon battery that came with my SD-1000. It has fufilled this role adequately, but I have observed that it has only about half the life of my regular Canon battery. Consequently, I now use this battery principally while the Canon is recharging. I personally would not rely on this battry as my principal battery. It's interesting to note that other reviewers report experiences all over the map, from unusably short life to even longer than the Canon. It could be that there is a lot of manufacturing variation.Customer Review: Must be aware of when these were charged
Summary: 2 Stars
These never work as well as the Canon brand battery that came with the camera.
They were pretty good when I first bought them, but they are very low quality batteries and don't have good capacity after a few months.
If these were charged recently, they will work pretty well.
If it has been 2 weeks or more since they have been charged, they will only take a few pictures before running out of juice.
So, basically, you have to be sure they're charged close to the time you'll use them to get them to hold any charge.
Customer Review: Battery - DOA
Summary: 1 Stars
When I received this battery I immediately tried to charge it as recommended by the manufacturer. However, when I did so, the charger's light did not illuminate. I checked the charger, I checked the contacts, all seemed to be fine, but still it wouldn't cause the charger light to illuminate. I placed it in the charger for 5 hours and then checked the output voltage of the battery - only 0.8 volts. My original battery charges in just a couple of hours, no problem. Clearly this new one is a defective battery. Too bad they don't check these things at the factory.Customer Review: Okay for about a year.
Summary: 3 Stars
Purchased this battery about a year ago. It maintained the same battery life as my Cannon OEM battery. Quite frankly, I couldn't tell the difference between the two when it came to battery life. However, just recently, the battery will no longer take a charge. The charger shows it is done, but when inserted into the camera, it shows low battery and takes only 5 pictures. For the price $8, I got the value out of this product, but based on other products in the market, this battery is marginal at best.
