My guess is that it is a mechanical tolerance issue when plugged into certain Canon SD models. So overall, I'd recommend people just spend the money on the original Canon genuine NB-5L, unless you're ok swapping batteries frequently with cheaper (non-Lenmar) NB-5L clones.One side-note: I also have a Lenmar high-density Panasonic camcorder battery which has worked flawlessly for over 2 years now and lasts for many hours on a charge. I wanted to confirm what many of the other 1-star reviewers are saying: when I used this Lenmar DLC5L (NB-5L) battery in a Canon SD950IS after a full charge, either the camera immediately said "recharge/replace" or after a few minutes of use it would die. So I returned all of the Lenmar DLC5L's (NB-5L), and went with another supplier of higher quality Japanese-manufactured Canon-compatible batteries (Wasabi Power); those have (thankfully) not had the "recharge/replace" issue, but the charge only lasts about 1/2 of the length of time of the original Canon battery even though they claim to have a higher power density. So Lenmar has been known to make great batteries, just not apparently for several Canon SD model cameras. I tried 3 of the Lenmar DLC5L (NB-5L), from 2 different orders, and they all had the same issue. So as far as I can tell, this appears to be a design flaw.
can't beat the price great battery. does the job and I am very happy with it.
Sometimes it take only 25 pictures and needs recharge. The life of this batery is too short.
It is difficult to imagine that both were outside the expected battery life. I would estimate that they were good for 20 pictures per charge. I suggest not wasting your money on these.I just ordered a genuine replacement Canon NB-5L battery. I bought two of these to use in my Canon camera on a recent trip to Japan. They do NOT hold a charge.
This works great and is super cheapHighly recommended. Dont buy the OEM Canon battery that is overpriced.
