This is a great value deal for anybody who needs some NB-6L batteries for their Canon compact camera. Our family has several Canon compacts, and they all use these NB-6L batteries. If you buy the OEM version, it is VERY expensive. If you buy the no-name batteries off of eBay, or even here at Amazon, you are risking poor performance or even small fires if you get a bad one, which happens sometimes.These Wasabi brand batteries use cells made in Japan, instead of China, and have very good quality.* They fit like the OEM battery. I've had the cheap copies actually swell after some use so that they were hard to remove from the camera. These fit perfectly, even after many cycles of use.* They charge back up to a high level even after many cycles. Once again, the cheap ones, in my experience, tend to start off great, but degrade faster than you would think.* The charger is a nice plus. when plugged into the wall socket, it has no particular advantage over the Canon version, but if you are on the road, having the 12V capability for use in a car is great.As you can tell, I really like these batteries. In addition to these NB-6L replacements, I have an extra duty pack for my Canon Vixia HD camcorder and my son's backup batteries for his Canon 60D SLR are also Wasabi brand cells. Are they are good as the OEM? Hard to tell. They are rated for more mA/Hrs, but in practice they seem the same to me, which is actually the definition of what a great replacement is all about.

For me, there is nothing I would ask this product to do that it is not already doing. I do need to note that I have had these batteries (and accessories) for only a few weeks - using them on an extended trip to Nepal. So, I cannot comment on durability at this point. However, with that disclaimer, the batteries work well and the charger is reliable and reasonably well designed. The charger is bigger than I would like but maybe it needs to be this size for internal reasons. So, I can't subtract any stars for that. I do not currently have any obvious conclusions regarding the relative amount of power in one of these batteries compared to the Canon battery that came with my camera. There may be a difference but I do not notice it in travel use. So, I'm pleased. Further, the price seems very good for the product. Therefore, I give it high marks for value. Based on use thus far I would have no hesitation to buy more products from this company.

I am so impressed with this ... at this price to be able to use this charger in the house or the car and to get not just one battery at such an affordable price, but two! The batteries work great and so does the charger. The Canon battery substitute that my son got for the camera when he was using it kept giving error messages and failing to capture the photo that I wanted. I wondered whether these batteries would work any better, but even if they didn't, I needed the charger anyway, since mine disappeared, and it didn't make sense to get just a charger when this whole set seemed more economical. I might just order another set so that I have one charger for the car always and one to stay at home. And so many batteries that I can plant some in handy places, for “just in case,” like one in the glove box of the car and another in the big camera bag, besides the mini bag for the compact Canon. Ok, ok, such consumerism! "If one is good, more is better!" can get us into trouble sometimes, especially in the kitchen. Sometimes, though, it is just fun to find something good that we can have more of without detrimental results. (You know, like overeating ....) Well, anyway, what fun to find something so affordable that works so well. Cheers!

We had the Canon camera, but no working batteries - this solved it!! No fuss.

Batteries performed well.

Everything exactly as described; packed perfectly and arrived in just two days. Perfect!

We seem to get roughly the same (or maybe a little less?) life from these batteries in our Canon SX280, as compared to the stock Canon battery, but I haven't done a full life test on these yet like I've done with the Canon battery and camera. This is a great value, especially since you also get the 12v adapter (come on Canon, why can't you do that with your charger?) for use when traveling in the car/RV. It is a puzzle to me that the Canon battery seems to charge more completely with the Canon charger than this one, and the indicator led doesn't work properly with the stock battery either, but no matter. I use the stock charger at home, and carry these batteries in the camera bag as backup. Whenever we travel, I bring the Wasabi charger with me also, and keep using the Wasabi batteries, once the stock battery is depleted,until returning home.

I tested the batteries vs. a new Canon NB-6LH (1060mAh) in a Powershot 120.Record length time (repeated twice) is below at 30fps, full HD video. Note that even after the camera shuts down due to low battery, it can be turned on and a second recording can be made. These numbers are below. The third recording is below 3 minutes with all batteries, so it was not reported. Numbers are minutes (rounded).Canon: 29, 28Wasabi #1: 24, 10Wasabi #2: 27, 8The Canon battery was able to record 57 minutes, and the Wasabi batteries were about 35 minutes. That's only about 60% of the capacity of a Canon battery. Considering the rated capacity is 1300 mAh, or 23% more than the Canon, obviously something is a little inconsistent! The Canon battery also weighs 21 gm, while the Wasabi is only 17 gm, so there is less Li-ion material. I did a couple of charge cycles before this test.The charger seems to be fine -- warm but not hot. I tested it plugged in to a wall outlet, and in my car. Battery charged in 1 1/2 hour in the car, which is great when travelling. It is thicker than than the Canon charger, but a bit narrower.
