Customer Review: Great Battery, Good for use as a Spare
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? The battery is the exact same as supplied with the camera (Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom), and has a great battery life.
There are, of course, other batteries that are made to imitate this one, sold for much cheaper, but they could damage the camera and void the warranty. Obviously, buying one made by Canon is always a safer option and is more reliable.
Small note: when bringing spare Li-ion batteries (like this one) on airplanes, they are not allowed to be kept in checked baggage - they must be put in your carry-on bags and be put in a "protective case" to avoid having the battery discharge and overheat.
Customer Review: Real thing
Summary: 5 Stars
Real Canon battery, WYSIWYG. Great value compared to local stores, which want to make more profit on a spare battery than they do on a complete camera. I have tried knock-off rechargeables before, and you get what you pay for. I will stick with OEM and a select few aftermarket brands. Li-ion batteries are not rocket science, but there is some costly technology (and liability) involved. Cutting corners to reduce cost will have a negative effect. Take my advice: any rechargeable Li-Ion battery sold for less than $10 will at best disappoint and at worst burn down your house. In this case, I bought OEM Canon since the price was comparable to other trustworthy manufacturers. Very happy with my purchase.Customer Review: Does the job. Well!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the original Battery pack from Cannon, as opposed to many of the alternatives available. This is my second replacement battery for an 890IS. I lost my first spare at a party and bought this one as a replacement. I later found the lost battery after it had gone through a wash and dry cycle in a pant pocket! It still works just as well as before. Great product!!
The only reason for not buying one of the alternatives was the fact that most of the alternatives seemed to have at least a few negative reviews and for the cost difference I did not want to get into a "situation", however low the probability.
Customer Review: Excellent little battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this battery as a backup for a vacation. It works perfectly. It is indistinguishable from the battery that came with the camera, lasts just as long (one or two days of frequent use), and charges fairly quickly in the standard charger. For folks going on a trip, I recommend taking two batteries for your camera. Just slip the spare into your pocket (not with your loose change or car keys, though) and pop it in when the camera needs it. Charging took a few hours overnight. For European current, my standard charger (not incl) said it takes the local voltage, so I only needed a plug adapter.Customer Review: Battery just as it should be
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this as a backup for the Canon PowerShot SD800 IS camera.

The battery has worked great so far, you can shoot probably 250 photos per battery, so one battery is often enough, but having a space is good insurance.
In the past I have bought non-name brand batteries for digital cameras and have had checked success. Since these are OK price from Amazon, it's much lower risk.
