Digipower BP-CN2L Replacement Li-Ion Battery for Canon NB-2L – Customer Reviews

I bought this battery at the same time I bought my Canon Powershot S30. I've owned it for almost two years now and have used both the Canon battery that came with the camera and this Digipower battery almost exactly the same amount of times.

About a year ago, I noticed the camera would blink the "low battery" icon much earlier when I was using the Digipower battery. It still worked but didn't last as long. Now it barely lasts ten minutes of "On" time. They say Li-Ion batteries do not build up memory or whatever, but the fact remains my Digipower lasts ten minutes while the Canon battery still lasts almost two hours.

I gave it two stars because of the price; you get what you pay for. This Digipower battery is not a "replacement" but a "cheap alternative" that dies after a couple of years of use.
