5 Stars Better than I expected
Been using this battery now for over 3 months with my T1i.
Holds its charge a looong time. I haven’t timed it, but it feels at least twice as long as the standard battery.
…and you can’t beat the price.
Advice: if you’re looking to get an extra battery, get this one.
5 Stars Works just fine – excellent value
Having a new camera for taking pictures of museum artifacts (primarily), I needed spare batteries to “feed my flash.” Problem was that the OEM battery (Canon) was ~$70 USD each which would reduce the number of spares I could pack. Also, the OEM charger was AC only, so would not allow for recharging while in transit. Opteka to the rescue! Inexpensive batteries and a dual AC & DC charger fit my needs exactly. I used the batteries for all day shooting of museum aircraft (lots of flash usage) and they performed at least as well as the OEM battery. Recharging was quick also, being less than 90 minutes in the car, so I could always have charged batteries on hand. Excellent value and performance overall, highly recommended for the amateur photog, perhaps even for the pro. Didn’t try the Opteka batteries in the Canon wall-charger as I was the Opteka charger, so cannot comment on capability. I recommend the charger & battery combination anyway because of the DC car plug.
1 Star The marked voltage worries me a great deal
The Canon Xsi ships with, and is rated for, a 7.4v battery. This is listed as 7.2v on the box, the battery and on the Opteka website. I was told by a Marketplace Vendor that the 7.2v is a “misprint,” but there is no way of truly knowing and it’s enough to make me worry. I’d hate to damage a $$$$ camera over a $ battery. This one is going in the garbage and I’m going with the Canon Equivalent LP-E5 Battery which is marked with the correct information (7.4v!), has a solid reputation, and is currently selling for a better-than-amazon price on Diamondback Battery’s website.
2 Stars got what you paid for
Fully charged it after some use of it already and seems as if it has the memory effect. The XSi camera’s battery icon shows it has at least half of the juice left before the camera stops working. Well, you trade 1/2 of the battery capacity for 3/4 of the cost. A good deal? In the shooting field, you may have twice the chance to have to change the battery at that monemt you wish you were not, like I was. Not sure if other 3rd party batteries more or less the same issue…..
5 Stars Decent for the money
Not as good as Canon, but for the money this will work great for a backup battery! I would say it lasts about 75% as long, and have not had any problems with it.

5 Stars Better than canon-I love it
I have had this battery about a week and used it every day. Works great and still fully charged. Pleased beyond words.
I have had nothing but problems with the Canon battery that came with my new camera. After a dozen photos it would go dead. After sitting fully charged in my camera for a week unused would be dead when I wanted to use it. I seldom used my camera because of this. Canon charges around [...]60 bucks for the same battery-just has their name on it. Can’t go wrong at this price.
4 Stars So far, so good
haven’t had it that long (so only gave it a 4), but works great so far – using as a backup to the cannon battery. Great value based on price and performance so far. Arrived very quickly, great service.
5 Stars Great Replacement Battery
I’ve only had this battery for a short time, but it appears to work just as well as the OEM battery. I can’t believe how much less expensive it is than the name-brand battery, so I’m thrilled to get such a great deal!
5 Stars They work, and they’re cheap
They work and they cost much less than the Canon batteries. My digital elf can’t tell the difference.
1 Star Did not work in SD1200IS
Based on positive reviews here, I bought this along along with an SD1200IS. It worked one time but subsequent attempts to use it in the camera elicited “Change battery pack” message on screen. Be warned.

5 Stars As expected
Thinking my original battery was getting old, I purchased two of these to have some back-ups. They work great, exactly what I was expecting. Any slow flash response time or overall battery recharge-life is negated by the cheap cost.
5 Stars Inexpensive insurance.
I recently bought two of these as insurance before a 2 week vacation. I figured that even if one was bad and/or couldn’t hold a charge, then I’d still have another if I needed it. As it turns out, both of the Ultralasts that I received are absolutely perfect. I could not tell any difference whatsoever between the battery life of this product versus the genuine Canon that came with my camera. I am unbelievably happy that I got 2 backup NB4L batteries for $7 instead of paying close to $50 for the “real thing.” Even if I only use them while the Canon battery is charging, it’s worth it and I won’t miss a single shot! Highly recommended.
4 Stars Great price, but not the longest life
“You get what you pay for” would would be an appropriate saying for this product. I am thrilled with the low cost and would purchase it again, but do not expect it to last as long as the original equipment. I would guess it lasts about half as long, but for a fraction of the cost I am not dissapointed.
4 Stars works just fine
Works just fine in our Canon SD600. Holds a charge and lasts just as long as the OEM battery that came with the camera. Would buy another one but I upgraded to a digital dslr
5 Stars Off brand works just as well as Cannon brand
These batteries have worked really well for me. They hold their charge just as long as my Cannon one does.

4 Stars Works great
I bought this for a new Canon T1i and it works great. The car charger is a nice touch. I can’t say that it lasts twice as long as the Canon battery, but it lasts at least as long.
5 Stars Opteka LP-E5
Bought this as an additional battery for my Canon Xsi, the extra charger was just a bonus but a bonus that turned out to be even better then expected, not only is it an AC charger but also comes with the vehicle charger adaptor as well as the universal charger adaptor for over-seas.
5 Stars Worked great!

5 Stars Perfect battery clone!
Holds the charge for ever. Fits the Canon Rebel XSi perfectly (just like the original batter). Excellent option over the pricey Canon one.

5 Stars works great wrong size
I really should read the batteries better. should have got the 809 not the 808. Oh well, it works.
4 Stars Probably should’ve just bought non-Canon battery
Nothing is wrong with this battery except that I probably didn’t need to spend the extra money buying a Canon one. Oh well. I’m sure Energizer or Duracell makes an excellent one for cheaper. Never looked.
5 Stars Wonderful Buyer!!!
This seller is awesome. I bought a battery when it came it was DOA. They had me send it back to them and they sent out a new battery. The new battery works great and I couldn’t be more happy with the service I received from this buyer. Not to mention my battery works great!!!
1 Star Battery is dead
I ordered this battery, went right to Europe for a month and when we got there the battery didn’t work at all. The battery won’t even charge or hold a charge. I’m hoping that the seller will give me a new battery. I’m hoping that this will help me find the right person to talk to about this.
4 Stars Great spare battery
Works just like the OEM battery that came with my Vixia HG20 HD cam. Having the ability for the camera to “talk” to the battery to provide battery information and capacity status is important for me. However, this is pricier than the basic non-OEM battery.
The only thing I did not like about the BP-808 is that it is thinner than the OEM BP-807 so when installed on the cam, it is not flushed with the cam body and doesn’t look as slick.
