My purpose to get an extra battery was because I was going to Spain with my family, and I knew I would need an extra battery. I'm glad I bought it before I left to Spain, because I couldn't find it there. I have two batteries and each one was about 110 minutes. I used it to record my kid playing soccer in San Sebastian, Spain (Donosti Cup).

I bought this as a spare for a Canon camcorder, Vixia HV20. Overall it's what you would expect from a battery. Battery life is pretty average, around 1-1.5 hours when shooting video, depending on what mode you're using. Recharge could be a little faster but that's more a function of the camera design than the battery, considering you can't charge the battery while the camera is on. It works well.

Comments about Canon BP-809B Replacement Battery Pack (890mAh):
This battery interacts well with the Camera, including the battery life display. However, it holds such a small charge, that it is hardly worth the investment. Better to step up to the 819 and for heaven's sake BUY A CHARGER!

- Extended use

Comments about Canon BP-809B Replacement Battery Pack (890mAh):
Our Canon VIXIA HF S100 is a gem to use, so much so that we drain a battery quickly. The BP-809B is a backup for the original battery.

Comments about Canon BP-809B Replacement Battery Pack (890mAh):
It's the best way to have second battery, as Canon products' alternatives miss some functionality, so even more expensive than the alternatives, it's worthy investmet.

Comments about Canon BP-809B Replacement Battery Pack (890mAh):
Good price, but it may be better to spend a little more on the 819 to get longer battery life.
Depends on how long it's being used.

Comments about Canon BP-809B Replacement Battery Pack (890mAh):
Having a back-up battery pack is a must. Canon, for some reason, makes it less intuitive which is the most appropriate model for the corresponding camcorder. There are conflicting directions from Canon's website as well as the retailers'. I would still prefer a Canon product over an off-brand alternative. The performance of this 809B is better than the one that came with the camera (807), but not to the extent advertised. Therefore, the price is relatively high. But, for long trips, where recharge may not be as easily to access, having a back-up is a must.

Comments about Canon BP-809B Replacement Battery Pack (890mAh):
I use this as a back up to the battery that came with the camera. The battery life is very good- so good in fact that the back up rarely gets uses (but I'm always glad I have it when I need it).
Pros
- Fast Recharge

Comments about Canon BP-809B Replacement Battery Pack (890mAh):
Purchased as a spare, with the wall charger it charges fast and lasts a fairly good while. I was getting about 3 hours out of it with the LCD turned off. The odd thing about the battery is that its smaller than the standard battery that came with my camera yet they are both the same capacity. I would have purchased the next step up from this but didn't want it sticking out the back of the camera but I think it would have been fine.
