Kastar 2 Pack Replacement Batteries for Canon LP-E8 LPE8 and Canon Rebel T5i T4i T3i T2i 550D 600D 650D 700D Kiss X4 X5 X6 Digital Cameras

I can’t believe I bought these replacement batteries 3 years ago for my Canon DSLR. I do photography as a hobby so these work perfect for me. I rotate my OEM battery and these and I never noticed a big difference while charging or using it. If I’m doing photo-tours or exploring an area I like to keep my camera on and ready so I don’t miss a good picture opportunity and they still last.It works great to have as back-up/spare so you can always have charged batteries specially while travelling (I either charge them overnight, at the hotel or in my car while driving). I’ve used them for long exposures during night photography, light painting photography, and cold weather (which drains it faster) and worked fine.Since I’ve been using them for so long they don’t fully charge anymore but I’m happy they made it this far! After 3 years now I would say my Canon battery holds the charge a bit better. They probably would have lasted a lot less if it was using only one of the batteries at a time instead of rotating through all of them (my OEM battery + these 2 battery replacements).It’s a good product for the price you are paying. I’m planning to re-purchase one more set of these once I get a new battery grip. I’m happy with my purchase, I would recommend them!

They work great. I'm very happy I could save some money.

For the price I am astounded at the battery life, these batteries are a cost effective way of getting some good quality extras for your camera bag, so far these batteries are working out great for my T3i/600D. I give it four stars only because the battery indicator is not always accurate, and when charging on my Canon battery charger the indicator goes to green within about 20 minutes, I usually just leave them on for about an hour to an hour and half to be sure. Though not perfect, they definetely beat paying 4x as much for a single name brand battery.

I bought these to give more use between access to charging. They run as long as the camera brand battery that I have. Price is about a third of camera brand. Hold charge well in storage. I can charge them ahead of use and not last minute. Made a second purchase to lengthen outdoor sessions with my telescope. Pictures of stars are long exposure and eat up battery while I monitor tracking. Cold does reduce any battery duty cycle. I keep 5 now because of low price and same service.

I bought three sets of these for my wedding business and so far they work great. Keep in mind that sometimes you get a bad egg. If it doesn't work, just send it back for another one. You have to expect those kinds of things when you buy off brand stuff. I'd also like to add that I bought these before and for the most part, they last for a long time, but sometimes they randomly die out on you and there's nothing you can do about it. These batteries are so cheap compared to the canon brand, that I find it to be worth the money even with these scenarios being a possibility. Buying 6 for the price of one canon battery seems like an obvious choice. By the way, yes, they seem to work in just about any appropriate battery charger no matter the brand.

I recently moved on from a Canon point & shoot to a Canon T3i and I was well aware how cameras eat up batteries. So, even before my T3i arrived, I searched for extra batteries and found these at an excellent price.I've been using these batteries for a couple of weeks and find no appreciable difference between them and the Canon-brand battery. What's been great is the reassurance that I can keep taking pictures and quickly switch to a fresh battery when necessary. They feel as sturdy as the Canon-brand battery.With both the Canon-brand and these replacement batteries, I've been able to take pictures for 1.5 hours straight (time dedicated to taking one picture after another and including short videos, with little or no breaks) before having to switch batteries, so no complaints on that front. I saw no discernible drop-off between the name brand and these replacement batteries on that front.Finally, this replacement battery takes the same amount of time to re-charge as the Canon brand. I haven't timed it exactly but it's less than an hour.I recommend these replacement batteries to anyone who wants the luxury of taking pictures/videos without regard to how much juice remains in their battery.
