Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lenmar DLC4L Digital Camera Equivalent to the Canon NB-4L Battery
Customer Review: Would Not Buy Again
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased two because they were inexpensive and got fairly good reviews. However, I began having problems with them as soon as I got them. I charged fully in my Canon battery charger, and as soon as I inserted the first one in the camera, I began getting the message "Change Battery Pack". I can get rid of the error by removing and reinserting the battery, but that is not acceptable. Then one battery soon refused to take a charge. It believes it is charged after about 10 minutes in the charger. The company did quickly replace the battery, so that was nice.
I'm also concerned that the batteries I received do not look like the one pictured. They do not have the LENMAR name on them anywhere.
Customer Review: Lenmar Canon NB-4L Equivalent
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this battery for as a back-up for my Canon SD630.
This camera has no viewfinder so the 3" display is always on.
There was no problem with using the Canon charger with the Lenmar battery. I didn't time the first charge, but I'd say it took about an hour.
Over the next three days, I took 162 pictures and about 7 minutes of video with out recharging. About half of those pictures were indoors with the flash turn on.
The only reason that I didn't give this battery "five stars" is that I can't yet speak to the battery longevity as I only had it a few weeks yet.
I'm very happy with this battery. Save a few bucks and buy this one instaed of the Canon NB-4L.
Customer Review: Highly recommend this OUTSTANDING battery. Do yourself a favor and buy one
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this Lenmar battery last year as a replacement for my aging Canon battery that came with my Canon SD600. It's GREAT! It works as well if not better than the Canon at a third of the price. I've taken it around the world and it just keeps on shooting. Highly recommend this OUTSTANDING battery. Do yourself a favor and buy one. Indeed, for the price, buy two and have money left over for lunch!
UPDATE: I recently bought another model Lenmar battery for my new Panasonic Lumix FZ35 camera. It too is working great and was priced well below the Panasonic brand. Am delighted with the value, reliability, and great service life of Lenmar products.
Customer Review: Works with a few glitches
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this in 2007 with a Canon SD1000. It charges fine with the Canon charger. After about 5 minutes of use the low-battery light starts flashing on the camera, but if you ignore the warning, it works for much longer. Eventually the camera will shut off stating "Change Battery Pack", if you remove and re-insert the battery it works for a few more shots or a few more minutes of video. The original Canon battery works fine without any of these glitches. So I'm assuming that the problem is with the Lenmar battery. It cost me about 25% of what the Canon battery would have cost and therefore give 3-stars for still being able to use it even with a few glitches.Customer Review: good for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I did the following test:
(1) charged the new battery to full capacity;
(2) used it in a Powershot SD750 to capture video, depleting the battery completely;
(3) charged to full capacity again;
(4) now captured video again: This battery lasts about 85% as long as my genuine Canon battery.
Conclusion: considering the price difference, it is a great bargain and perfect as a backup battery.
Caveats: (1) the OEM's battery life may deteriorate much faster and may not last as many cycles as the genuine batteries. I can only find out in the future.
(2) I am not sure it is as safe. but there is no way to find out.
