Canon NB-1LH Battery Pack for Canon S100, S110, S200, S230, S300, S330, S400, S410 & S500

Costs too much, but works well. No alternatives, unfortunately (off-market brand I tried was worthless).

After about 8 years the intial battery no longer held a charge. At one time I had purchased an inexpensive Chinese clone and found it to be useless. So this time I paid the much higher price for what I believe is a real Canon battery and it is working well and holds a charge for dozens of pictures.

I have had this camera for a long time (around 9 years); not the most high-tech, up-to-date, or stylish camera, but it is reliable, durable, and takes great pictures. My only problem was the camera had outlived the dang batteries. I put up with only being able to do 2 photos per charge for a long time, and then I hit my breaking point. At first, I was looking at the cheaper "knock-off"-type batteries, but after reading many reviews, I felt like this option wouldn't be any better than what I already had. So, I broke down and spent the money on the real thing. I do not regret it. It is like I have my old camera back again. Even if, say, worst case scenario, this battery only lasts a year or two, hey - it was well worth it. This battery performs just like the original ones did. I am very happy.

After trying to buy the super cheapie no name batteries that promised to be just as good or even better than the "expensive" Canon batteries for my Powershot S500 and realizing that they were junk and stopped holding much of a charge pretty quickly, I decided to go back to the original.

I am very happy with these canon batteries. They last a long time, charge fairly quickly and I don't have to worry that they'll fry my camera (a friend of mine did fry his camera using generic batteries!).

You will never go wrong with factory made equipment. When buying not new, have to be lucky and careful with seller's reputation

My original battery stopped holding a charge after about four years of use. At that time I searched for a Canon original replacement battery but for some reason they were unavailable. I ended up purchasing a generic battery, which worked for about a year and would only last for the equivalent of about 10 photos before requiring recharging. Now that I have another original Canon battery, it is like the camera is new and I get over 50 photos, with about half using the flash, before I need to recharge.

this was great . needed it for a long time. glad to find it on amazon. thanks

This was a great priced product and it worked. The local shop said a friend had to get a new battery when it went out, they also said the camera was too old, she would be better off getting a new one. She couldn't afford to do that and really wanted the kids to have the ability to use the camera. I found the battery at a much better price on Amazon, the kids are thrilled. This was a great deal.

Bought a used battery for an older Canon S410, but it doesn't hold a charge any better than the battery being replaced, so it was not a wise move.

It's worth it to buy the Canon Brand battery. I've tried the knock-offs and they just don't last long.

Battery was as advertised. I am pleased to get another battery for vacation time. I always hate when you batteries die while out for the day. good to plan ahead with extra batteries.

During the holidays having a couple of spare batterys is alwas good to have around. Taking thoes family pictures or being on vacation and taking the memories to save for a life time.

I bought this battery after 3 of the cheaper (generic) batteries ran down after only a few pictures, one of those batteries swelled up and wouldn't come out of my camera. I'll not buy another generic battery for anything.

Although I have not had this battery for a long time yet, I find using the canon batteries do last longer than those that are just compatible with my camera. I haven't given it 5 stars because the real test will come with time.

Don't skimp when getting new batteries for your Powershot.
You will end up paying more for aftermarket batteries because you will have to buy twice as many because they only have half (maybe less) the life of these.

I purchased a new battery pack right before our trip to Alaska. We did not have any problems and even forgot to charge it one night and it still performed all the next day. This is the second battery I have bought for my S300. The first Canon battery pack lasted 5 years (it came with the camera), the second battery (first replacement) - a Maxwell - lasted only one year. I will only buy a Canon battery pack from now on. The life span is much longer. The Canon Battery Pack cost a little more but it is worth it in the long run.

This is a perfect replacement for the original battery that came with my Canon S410 digital camera. After 3 years of heavy use (we have two lovely grand daughters, do I need to say more?) the original battery was not holding its charge as long, so we needed a replacement. New battery charged right up and is working as long as original used to. Very fast shipping from Amazon and good order notifications and tracking. Although this cost more than knock offs, for the fit, function and peace of mind this is a good purchase.

Seems to be working just like the original batteries did at first, I'm hoping it will last at least a year, so far so good.

Fine product, alas, too bad it's so expensive!
But better to go with this than the knock-off ones that don't last as long.

I was getting really frustrated with my Canon Powershot S300. Five shots and the battery would be gone. This new battery gave NEW life to an old reliable camera.

I've had my digital camera for several years. I just recently purchased this battery as a replacement for the one it came with 4 years ago. That should tell you how long they last and how well they work. I highly recommend that you buy the Canon brand, it's worth the money.

I would have expected this service from a five dollar battery! This battery will not hold a charge.

There are plenty of negative reviews out there for the less expensive substitutes that I didn't want to hassle with that. So I decided to shell out money for the Canon branded replacement. Have had it for ~1 month and haven't used the camera a ton, but the one time I had to re-charge the battery, it didn't lose its charge rightaway like my old "dead" battery does. So it seems that I got the real thing.

I used the original battery that came with my camera for 5 years. Eventually it used to die after 5-6 pictures...
This one is Canon original, I was able to use it on five different occasions and take dozens of photos before charging again. And 5 minutes of charging gave it lots of juice. HIGHLY recommended. Worth the high price, and you probably won't find it cheaper then Amazon.

Don't buy generic. Buy this OEM product. Lasts as long as the original.

I give five stars of comformance to this product , I own a cannon s400 model , it was good to get a second battery pack , it's time to get more pictures with the double of time , and again great service by amazon providing supplies to almost all electronics.

Can't complain about how it works but the price is outrageous. I've had problems with "compatible" batteries.

Why did the old battery swell up and stop working? I dunno. But since the camera uses this battery, I am up and running after a quick delivery.

We had purchased an after-market replacement battery when our original (which was about 5 years old) died. The after-market battery only held the charge for about 1/2 a day. Found this battery on Amazon and used it on vacation in the beginning of Feb. When traveling again at the beginning of March, realized that we never took the charger out of the suitcase - this battery hasn't needed a recharge yet! We haven't used it all day long so far, but we do use it at least a couple times a week. As good as the original!

Make sure you get an OEM Canon battery...this was the real deal and you pay for quality...don't mess will any other cheapo batteries....thanks

I had bought several knock off batteries that would fit my cannon and had veryb poor service from them. This battery works very well thank you!

Got this as a replacement for a Canon S200 camera. The original battery was clapped out, and couldn't hold a charge. This worked perfectly as a replacement.

Right up to the point where the wife lost the camera. Ho hum.

The battery I received was in perfect working order and has worked flawlessly since I got it!

Worked like a new battery should. Holds a charge for over 80 pics. Probably worth the extra money for a real Canon product.

Used it for half a year now, experienced no problems.
I also recommend this charger with it:
Canon CB-2LS Battery Charger (Charges NB-1L Battery).

These products are genuin and have a feel of very high quality itesm, which they are!

I bought this battery pack right before going to China and it didn't let me down. I put alot of demand on my camera, and thus the battery. It's a given that one has to charge the battery. I use rechargeable batteries for all my remotes, music players, etc. and yes, they don't last as long before needing to be recharged, but thus the name "rechargeable." I used the battery all day in China with taking pictures constantly. It does help to take battery out of the camera to give it a longer life.

I purchased 3 rechargeable batteries for my Canon Elph S110 for the price I would have paid for one elsewhare. The price was great, but unfortunately the batteries don't last long before they need to be recharged. I took them with me on a trip to Sweden thinking 3 batteries would be enough to last for 9 days, but after 5 days, all three went dead. That is not the fault of Amazon though. My old batteries didn't hold a charge well either. Canon needs to come up with a rechargeable battery that holds a charge longer. The price, however, was unbeatable.

this battery when new has an excellent battery life. Never thought a battery could last that long after a full charge. A very good buy.

This battery pack hasn't let me down. I've recharged it many times, and each time it seems to hold its charge well. My camera is the digital Elph S500. I got the extra battery so I could always have one as a spare, ready to go without waiting for a single battery to recharge.

We inherited our Canon Powershot S230 from relatives along with 3 battery packs. Over the course of a few months, I realized that I was having to recharge the batteries quite frequently and after only a handful of pictures taken. I tossed the old batteries and picked up two of these ones and they work beautifully. One battery lasts for at least three photo sessions now even when I take a few minutes of video. Now I run into problems with the CF memory running out before the battery goes! Good batteries.

It does exactly what it's supposed to! with the old battery we had, we had to charge the battery just before we wanted to use it and even then were unable to take more than a handful of photos before the camera died. But after replacing the battery we can just grab it and run knowing that it will work and work for a long time!

My NB-1LH came with my S410 that I bought 2 years or so ago. It's lasted this long and still works a bit, which is why it got 4 stars. I'd give it three and a half for the capacity of the battery. It's never lasted a long time, but perhaps it's my own fault as I leave the LCD on almost all the time. When I first purchased the camera, I could get probably 100 pictures with flash and leaving the LCD on nearly continuously. Now after over 2 years of every other day use (at least, with 2 kids that love the camera!) I can only get perhaps 30 to 50 pictures before it starts giving the red low battery sign. Once that comes up, I'm lucky to get 2 more shots before the camera shuts itself off and gives the "Change the battery pack" sign.

So, I'll purchase a new one in hopes that I can get another 2 years out of it! The camera itself has been great but that's another review.

To the previous reviewer who questioned where the batteries were made, my original one that shipped with the camera 2 years ago was made in china according to the label.

I got one of these Canon NB-1LH batteries, expecting it to be Made in Japan. Surprisingly, it says it's Made In China. I thought Canon OEM batteries were all Made In Japan (like the battery that came with my S400 camera), but apparently that's not the case. Hopefully, the battery won't behave like many of the 3rd party NB-1LH batteries I've seen that are Made In China and don't hold their charge that well.

I checked many stores and the generic battery wasn't this cheap! Although the canon battery was pricey,I just did not trust a generic cheaper battery for my camera. I wasn't sure how long they would last. So I am glad I found it cheaper here!

Battery pack shipped right away and arrived within about a week.

I needed a new battery for my camera and was thrilled to find it so easily. Thanks!

The original battery that came with the camera (Canon S500) gave out after over 1 year of use. I ordered 2 of the OEM batteries through Amazon. They appeared to be the same as the original but they would not hold a charge over 24 hours. I returned them and Amazon sent me 2 replacements. I am having similar problems with these also. I must carry my charger with me at all times.

This battery arrived as promised and is exactly what I ordered. The battery life is great.

I received the product in very short order and have been most pleased with its performance. My camera can snaps many flash photos without running dry. My old battery had seen too much action and could no longer cut it.

I bought this battery as a backup battery for my Canon S400. I used to have a non-canon battery to serve that purpose - BAD IDEA. The non-canon battery had problems charging & retaining the charge. No problems at all with the Canon NB-1LH.
