Good battery, great price. It is heavy, but what battery isn't, and when it says it lasts 8 hours on a charge, it pretty much does. Mine ranges from 6-8 depending.

The battery feels a bit cheaper than the canon ones, but it lasted for a full 7 hour film shoot that I was doing, without being turned off once, and it still had power left the next day for another shoot!

Highly recommended!

This battery is a great deal! It is only a fraction of the price of the one Canon sells, but it still works great for my Canon GL2. I haven't tested to see exactly how long it lasts, but it is pretty close to the advertised 8 hours.

I've had this battery for about 5 months now, and it seems to work great. I used it on a wedding the other day, and held out for the entire shoot. While I don't use this battery every week, and I haven't put it through rigorous testing- it seems to be good for at least 6 hours of shooting on my GL1. It may last the full time advertised, but I haven't needed to use it for that amount of time since purchase. To be honest, if the battery only lasted 3 hours and was good for a year- I'd still love it. It costs only a fraction of an official Canon battery- and performs very very well. In this rare instance, you get way more than you pay for.

The battery is good. It came fast, and was fully charged, and the price was awesome.I payed 50 bucks for a battery just like it a year ago and this one was only 26.00$! great deal.
