It's a lot better than the battery that came w/ my HF M300 Canon Vixia.It lasted about 1 hr. 20 minutes.The original battery lasted about 30 minutes.It is about 15 minutes better than the extra battery I bought for my old Canon HV 40.Needless to say, if you are going to do any video beyond range of an electric outlet, you will need at least one of these.If I were rich, I would buy 5 more.I wrote the review because B&H offered to put me in a drawing for[$] gift card.But obviously my comments are generic and not meant to over-hype this product. Everyone knows u need extra batteries w/ camcorders. Sort of strange that Canon doesn't just put 2 of these in the box instead of the lame small one they give ya.

I have owned this for about 3 months and finally one of the terminals was crushed. I handled with care, it was just poorly manufactured. There was nothing I could have done, but the warranty does not cover that. Spend the extra 20 or so and buy cannon. Pearstone is poor quality!

Comments about Pearstone BP-819 Replacement Lithium-Ion Battery (7.4V, 1520mAh):
I bought this battery because my HF G10 uses the same batterys as my two older vixias and have used it with the HF G10 and my HF 10. I remember reading reviews that the pearstone battery would not charge with the on camera adapter and you would need the Canon Battery Charger, which I have, to charge it.
I even had the battery in a camera and plugged the charger into the camera and it seemed to be charging but i will confirm this next time i need to charge it

Comments about Pearstone BP-819 Replacement Lithium-Ion Battery (7.4V, 1520mAh):
So far I am getting about 2 hours out of battery. I use with my Canon Vixia Camera. The Canon battery that came with the Camera just died after about nine months. It had very moderate usage. I am hoping this Pearstone lasts longer.

The first time using the battery I left the camera recording because I wasn't scared of the battery running out on me, or running out of memory ... That's a great feeling, I recommend this to anyone whose considering taking lengthy videos very consistent.

Comments about Pearstone BP-819 Replacement Lithium-Ion Battery (7.4V, 1520mAh):
Great battery at significant savings from the comparable Canon price gouge. Can't compare it for operation or length of charge since I haven't used the Canon 819 but it's a solid battery, as solid as the smaller Canon battery that came with the camera. I took it backpacking this last weekend, and it kept going for over about 5 hours of shooting.
Really, how much more can you say about a battery?

Comments about Pearstone BP-819 Replacement Lithium-Ion Battery (7.4V, 1520mAh):
There's not much to say about the battery. Besides it's great, lightweight, powerful and affordable. Just a really great product and an essential attachment for anyone with a video camera. HD or not you're going to want a lot of battery time. It's just easier and you don't have to run to outlets or fumble with tens of batteries. Does exactly what I need it to do. Lasts long. Powers my camera.

Great replacement battery for the original. I get about 3 hours of life with my Canon Vixia HF M31. Great for working on projects away from a power source. Battery is small enough to fit in a pocket of a small camera bag too.
