Avoid No-Name Batteries for Your Camera or Camcorder

By Brian White at 05/28/07 09:46

I recently went to buy an aftermarket battery for my old, wonderful, Canon camera, but I was appalled and disgusted by the outlandish cost of a replacement battery. I had a choice between a $38 (plus shipping) factory battery, of an $18 (free shipping) battery, and I mistakenly chose the cheaper of the two.

The factory battery is akin to the one that kept you in photos for two-plus years. It's spendy, but it's the real deal. The aftermarket battery isn't as costly, but it isn't as good. It's half the price, but a tenth of the quality.

In short, don't be cheap. The battery will work for a few weeks at least, but from my own experience, it will die quickly, and you'll hate the merchant and yourself thereafter.

I do not fully agree with you. Cheap replacements can be of poor quality. However there are enough battery providers such as www.batteryupgrade.com

that supply high quality and capacity batteries.

I tested this camera for a client. I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The

battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels -

never saw this before. Tried returning for exchange and had to put up quite a fight. Anyone else

seen this? http://www.batteryfast.com
