Customer Review: Get what you pay for
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this battery for my Canon SD950 IS. It seemed to function just like any other battery and most of the reviews were good so I bought one as a backup to save money. Well now that I have had it for about a year the regular Canon battery is still going strong and this Lenmar one doesn't hold a charge. With the Canon battery, you can charge it and store it and expect to be able to use it when your primary runs out. With the Lenmar, you charge it and store it and when the time comes to put the backup battery in you find out that the thing has discharged and is basically useless. Unfortunately it seems in this case you get what you pay for. If it gets a good review and the person has only owned the battery for a couple of weeks, take it with a grain of salt...Customer Review: I Wouldn't Order Again

I bought this in a hurry before heading to Ireland for two weeks on a business trip. I wasn't sure if I would be able to charge my current battery from my Canon camera so I wanted to have a back-up. While this was a back-up, it didn't last nearly as long as the official Canon battery. I of course fully charged it before leaving. Whereas the Canon brand battery would last a week+ with solid shooting, this lasted a day. I knew it was cheaply priced for a reason and thought this replacement was too good to be true. It was. I would not order this again and would instead spring for the official Canon battery.
Note: picture quality is rated "high" because that has NOTHING to do with the battery and everything to do with my fantastic Canon camera.
Customer Review: Replacement battery at the fraction of the cost.

Everyone else's review swayed me towards this battery as a backup for my Canon SX200. Used it on a trip to Australia and although it did not last as long as the OEM battery, it did its job of keeping the camera going when the other one needed charging. Using this battery in rotation with another should be fine for most users. If you take a lot of pictures or use the flash alot, you may want to have 2 of these as your backup and always charge them up once your low battery indicator light starts to flash. Not a bad product for the price. Also, the longer you keep this battery on the charger, the longer a life it seems to have (up to 2 days max- after that, it is pretty much topped off). Can be re-charged in your OEM Canon battery charger.Customer Review: Worked great

Was going on vacation overseas and wanted to make sure I didn't run out of batteries so I purchased a two pack of the Lenmar DLC5L batteries for a fraction of the price of one new Canon NB-5L battery. Took hundreds of pictures using the LCD display on the camera (Canon SD-800), reviewing each picture using the LCD display and also a quarter of the pictures were done using the flash and the first battery lasted the first 5 days of my holiday. I was very happy with the product. Cannot comment upon how many times I will be able to recharge the batteries compared to the Canon battery that came witht the camera but at this point in time I'm very pleased and even if it needs to be replaced a little sooner the price still makes it more affordable.Customer Review: Excelent replacement for the battery pack NB-5L

I have been switching beetwen this Lenmar replacement and the original NB-5L battery of the Canon PowerShot SD850 IS 8.0 MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom without any difference on the efficiency. Both are very good with an average of 620 photos using the optical viewfinder (only using the screen for reviewing the taken photo during 2 seconds).
I noticed there were other cheaper replacements, however this was the only battery replacement that matches the exact technical specifications than the original Canon (3.7 V 1120 mHh Li-ion) and is still a bargain.
