Hi, I bought two of these batteries after seeing the high rating in reviews they got. The purchase was for a long trip of shooting to hold over the other two batteries I had (Canon, plus one off-brand, but more expensive than these). The short story is that it's been one month and they have been charged maybe 5 times total, but they charge in 10 minutes and show <1/4 the charge of the other two good batteries when loaded in the camera. Yes, something is wrong with this picture and these batteries are not good.I actually feel ripped off, that I've been sold a bad product by B&H!!! It's almost heart-breaking as I buy all of my photography products from them. However, it's 30 days and past the return possibilities. Luckily it's only a loss of 2x[$] so I'm not out that much money. However, I cannot recommend others to buy this product.Jamie

This Pearstone BP-511A was ordered as a replacement for a Canon BP-511A that was no longer holding a charge. The camera, and older Canon10D was given to young son and the Pearstone is performing without any problems. No change or damage in camera performance observed.

Comments about Pearstone BP-511A Lithium-Ion Battery (7.4V, 1400mAh):
Purchased two Pearstone batteries as a primary power source for my Canon 50d.
Compared to the much higher priced Canon brand the Pearstone battery is ample power to get the job done. Fully charged the Pearstone battery will allow you continuous shooting for any photographic event.

Comments about Pearstone BP-511A Lithium-Ion Battery (7.4V, 1400mAh):
When my order of two batteries arrived I was surprised to find that they came without battery covers. Nowere in the preorder product information was this fact ever mentioned. Since these were replacements for my original Canon batteries, I was also very surprised to find that they did not snap on securely. In fact, I had to secure the covers with rubber bands to prevent themn from falling off. I believe this is a potential fire hazard and I would not have bought them if I knew this before.

I have used the battery for taking outdoor pictures for two trips, one day in New York and one day in Washington DC. I used fresh charge and took around 150 pictures each day. Temperature was around 30-32 degree. It passed my test.
