Canon Battery Pack NB-4L

Good Product. Worthful

I have a Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS. It is probably from 2011 or maybe earlier. The original battery (this model) had been in use that entire time and it is only recently that it started not lasting as long as it should, so I ordered this one. I opted for this instead of an off brand, even though it cost more, because I have heard too many horror stories lately of counterfeit/cheaper batteries doing things like catching fire! What I received appears to be genuine (order was placed in March 2016 directly from Amazon and not a third party). It looks just like the old camera battery and fits in/works with the old charger. (I charge it overnight -- it doesn't actually take overnight, but then I don't have to sit and wait for it to finish.) It lasts much longer than my old battery. I haven't really been keeping track of how long but that is going to depend largely on your camera settings -- whether you use the digital viewfinder (I have to), the flash (I do sometimes), whether you record videos, how much you review your photos on the viewfinder screen, etc. Since I was doing the same sorts of activities with the old battery, if I get a few more days out of this, I am happy.

Acquistando la fotocamera ho trovato la batteria originale in questione a poco più di 2 euro; non ho potuto non comprarla!!! Ottimo servizio e ottimo prodotto

I've been using the same NB-4L battery with my canon SD200 for three years now. I also bought a generic version of this battery to use as a spare. The Canon has always held a much greater charge than the generic, and the difference has gotten more noticeable over time. After three years of use, the generic only charges up enough to take about 10 pictures with flash. The genuine Canon NB-4L is still going strong and lasts for far more photos. (The two batteries have been charged and used roughly the same number of times.) So now that the generic doesn't hold enough charge to be worth using, I'm going to buy another of the Canon brand batteries. My experience shows that the difference in price is matched by a difference in performance.

When I bought my latest Canon digital camera about two years ago, I bought a second battery like this plus the recharger. The price is low enough that it has made purchasing the 2nd battery well worth it. I keep one in the camera, and the 2nd (charged) one in the camera case. I always have a battery ready to go when one runs out of juice. Battery life is much better than any regular or rechargeable AA camera batteries I've used in the past. Highly recommend to others.
