Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon CBK4-300 Rechargeable Battery and Charger Kit for PowerShot Cameras (Retail Package)
Customer Review: Great product - charger works well with other brands too.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've bought NiMH (nicknamed Nim-Hah's) from Canon, Energizer, Radio Shack, & RayoVac. We use them in exactly the same way and with the same load everytime. So it's easy for us to tell which gives us the best performance.
How we use them: dozens of flash pictures in a Canon digital camera
Results:
The Canon batteries can recharge the flash diode 30-50% faster than the other brands we tried.
The Canon batteries give us double or more snapshots before having to replace.
Final Note: Some critiques will say that they can't see the difference in value for the higher price. I would say "bull". faster flash warmup and less battery chnges are worth the difference.

Customer Review: These batteries really last
Summary: 5 Stars
I went with the Canon batteries & charger to avoid any problems with the Canon digital camera they are used for. Whenever I've used rechargeable batteries in an electronic device, they never seem to last long enough. So for the camera, I went with the same brand batteries. I've taken probably 100 photos, use the flash and zoom often, and had the camera on for almost two hours straight in a photography class and the batteries still don't show any loss of power with respect to the camera's battery status indicator. And since this kit comes with 4 batteries, I always have 2 charged spares. Maybe cheaper rechargeables would work, but it wasn't worth the risk and hassle if they failed right when I needed them.Customer Review: Worth the Money

We tried to use a generic battery charger with our Canon and it showed. Our flash recharge time was longer, the lag between photos was noticeable, and the camera ate batteries VERY QUICKLY! With this charger and its batteries, we can use the camera for several outtings and take over 100 pictures, and even some video. We used it at a family event where I took a total of 20 minutes of video and 102 photos. When we got home, the batteries were not even blinking. I was very impressed! Even when you have to charge the two from your camera, you have 2 more ready to go! The batteries charge rapidly and we haven't had a single problem!Customer Review: Great Product

I recently bought a Canon S3 IS camera and was pleased to note that it uses AA batteries rather than the costly rechargeable batteries I had in my Canon G2 (about $50 per). I didn't however want to go to the expense and bother of constantly having to replace AA batteries. I was delighted to find this rechargeable option and purchased. To date, it works great. I can use rechargeable batteries most of the time and have non-rechargeable batteries for emergencies (e.g., trips) Great find and purchase. Good valueCustomer Review: Excellent battery life
Summary: 5 Stars
The batteries included last quite a long while. I took my camera for a vacation trip, taking a TON of vidoes and over 500 snapshots. Even while keeping my Cannon S5IS turned on, with screen, these batteries lasted all day, every day. I only needed to charge it once in two days of active shooting, as well as uploading and reviewing time. My only complaint is the charger takes a while to recharge the batteries. Still, these are some of the best batteries i've used with my cannon S5 camera.
