Customer Review: Initial Impressions
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased two of these on the basis of favorable comments. I have only tried one of them so far, and only one charge cycle.
I charged one fully with the Canon charger and used it in my SD450. It's life seemed much shorter than my 2-year old Eveready battery and the Canon battery. I don't know if this is just this sample, will have to use it more and also the other sample, to see.
If I recall, the instruction does say the battery should be charged and drained fully to get maximum capacity. I'll have to test to see if that's true here, but usually Li-Ion batteries like these do not benefit from such charge/discharge cycles.
Customer Review: Love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
While on a recent wildlife cruise in Valdez, Alaska, it was great having this battery as a fully-charged and ready to go replacement for the battery that went dead in my camera (I had used that battery for high quality scenery and family pictures long before going on the cruise). Between the two batteries, I was not only able to take all the pictures I wanted on the cruise, but I also had plenty of juice to take lots of pictures in Denali Park, and still have enough power to take many more pictures. With these two batteries, I will never need to worry about a lack of battery power to take as many pictures as I want on trips or at family gatherings.Customer Review: Casing falls apart but good cheap(er) backup battery
Summary: 4 Stars
My prior purchase of a couple Lenmars for my Canon S300 was not overwhelmingly impressive. From day one I usually got about 15-20 pictures out of a charge before they died out.
I took a chance again with my new SD780 and this time I seemed to have received a much better made battery - got a couple years out of it before recently the thin plastic casing around it began deteriorating and jamming in the camera. Gluing didn't work well, so I'm taking another chance on getting another good Lenmar.
Charge capacity seems about 70-80% of what the OEM battery does, and as a backup battery at this price that's good enough for me.
Customer Review: 50/50 chance. Your call.

After reading the customer reviews, I went ahead and ordered two of these. I figured even if one of them didn't work, I'd still have one that worked (and still it'd cost less than the branded battery). Well, I'm glad I got two. One refuses to take any charge (the charger flashes red to green and back again. The charger isn't supposed to hit green until the battery is charged). The second one I purchased works fine, however. You're definitely taking your chances with this. But hey - even if you buy three of them and two of them are duds, you're still paying less than you would for the Canon battery.Customer Review: Battery Lives up to Claims
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased the UX-50 replacement battery since my original battery was not holding a charge. Overrall, I am getting signicantly more battery life out of the unit ( around 6+ hours vs 1 hour or so for the failing battery).
However, for whatever Sony reason uses non-standard screws in the back cover, and they you need a jewelers set of screwdrivers,since the screwdriver tool the battery came with is not functional. In addition, you have to be gentle taking taking the old battery out, and replacing it with the new battery since there is very limited space in the tightly packed UX-50.
