Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lenmar LIC511 Lithium-ion Camcorder Battery Equivelent to the Canon BP-511 Battery

Customer Review: One down, one to go...
Summary: 5 Stars

I ordered 2 of these to replace 2 original Canon battery packs that I was using with my 300D Digital Rebel camera. (One of the batteries was from the 300D and another was from a Canon PowerShot G1 which was the camera I had before the 300D -- both use the same battery).

I use the charger that came with my 300D to charge the batteries and that is working fine. The replacements are a very slight bit looser sitting in the charger and in the camera but not enough that there are any issues or concerns.

I am not a professional photographer and rarely have to take over 100 pictures at a time, however I used the camera extensively over the Memorial Day weekend and never had to make use of the second battery. I actually bought the 2 batteries because I was worried (after reading the reviews) that I might get a dud and wanted to hedge a bit to help make sure I at least had one good battery for Memorial Day. So far both seem to be exceeding my admittedly low expectations and requirements.

If either battery dies prematurely I will update this review.


Update: 7/3/09

Of the two batteries I bought, I only used one about 1 month ago. That battery is now completely dead. I used it for only the one weekend and it has then sat for about a month. I went to charge it again today and it will not charge. Putting a meter on the terminals shows 0.0 volts. No life whatsoever.

I have not used the other battery, but did charge it when I first got it. I put that battery back in the charger today and it still had most of its charge after more than 1 month. It charged fully and still seems fine. I will be using that this weekend.

I give this product 2 stars now. I still think it is a good deal considering you can buy almost 4 of these for the price of one Canon branded battery. Though obviously the quality of the product is horrid. Absolutely terrible. Any well made product should never experience failure rates of this magnitude.

So, if you need a battery for something critical avoid this and get the Canon battery. Otherwise, buy twice as many as you think you will need and cross your fingers.

Next time I do not think I will bother. I hate to pay the inflated price that Canon charges, but maybe there's something to the high cost. Apparently no one is able to step up and produce a quality product for less.
