Canon OEM battery

Have used this product for years and never a problem!

Perfect product!

Life saver

I use the battery as a stop block for my Sherman tank. Hey, a battery  that works like a battery is good - this is a good one.

Stop block for my Sherman tank

I bought this battery to replace the one that I had been using for over 13 years. As expected it worked great and my camera is as happy as can be.

Great Canon Quality as Expected

Just exactly what I ordered. Came in when it was supposed to. Charged it up and a few hours later ready to go at !00%. Fully satisfied with Canon products and service. Will for sure order from Canon again.

Canon Battery Pack BP-511A

When I put this battery in my camera, I have the confidence that it will be there when I need it for what I need it for!  Without hesitation, I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is considering addressing a need to "power up" your camera!

Without question

Found the battery most satisfactory.  Happy to be taking photos again after several years neglecting to do so.  I was disappointed to find the software for my camera has not been updated for current Operating Systems,

Excelllent!

Good product ad good customer service from Adorama

Good product

My old battery wore out so I purchased this one and it works great. Holds charge. Recommend.

Canon battery

I needed a new battery pack for my 20d.  Canon parts are always the way to go.  The purchase was easy and had fast delivery.
The previous battery pack lasted several years .  I expect this pack to last the same.  Excellent quality and very reliable

Easy battery pack purchase

I have tried non-Canon batteries but have found, that for me, the Canon variety last longer and I need that since I photograph birds and wildlife... shooting bursts time and time again.

Canon Battery Last Longer... only thing I use

Charge lasts a long time, even in cold northern Michigan weather.

I like it

I am the owner of a vintage Canon 5D, so it's great to have a battery that will keep my camera working for many more years.

It's a battery that works!

Adorama sent my purchase in quick fashion, all the way to the West Coast. I appreciated that.

Great Service

So thankful that Adorama continues to carry quality Canon supplies. I trust Adorama, so I don't have to micromanage battery counterfeits or quality of supplies.  I ordered two of these batteries and both are working great. Thank you!

Quality Canon Supplies

I learned a long time age that something is more money for a reason. Real Canon equipment is worth the money. But, now I hear to watch out for Canon counterfeit equipment. This really sucks!!!

Adorama has taken the guess work out of buying maybe, Maybe not equipment. They had the packaging authenicated by Canon. 

Way to go guys!

Thank you.

Authentic Canon

I have not put a charge on them yet, but they appear to be OEM replacement packs, in original factory packaging.

These battery packs appear to be factory originals

Initially, I was concerned that this was a counterfeit battery because the Canon name was in a sans-serif font instead of the standard Canon logo (unlike an older Canon battery I have that has the Canon logo in between the two humps). Also, the packaging differed slightly from what I saw on the Canon web site. I contacted the Canon fraud team and they asked me to send pictures of the battery and the packaging and later replied that it was genuine, so that was reassuring, especially since Adorama is an authorized Canon dealer.

We got out an older DSLR that we don't use too often for vacation and I needed an additional battery. I had some non-Canon batteries that didn't hold a charge that I disposed of and an older Canon battery that still worked. I added this new genuine-Canon battery to the mix so I'd have two working batteries on vacation and both the 10-year-old Canon battery and the new genuine Canon battery worked great.

Genuine, It works

I tried off brands and they failed within a year or two.  Only Canon is reliable.

Because it's a Canon original it is worth the extra money for the extra service that you get from it.

An Excellent Battery

I use Canon cameras daily for work. I purchased off brand batteries but they do not last.

Canon Batteries have Quality

It's hard to review a battery, especially when it's brand new and has hardly been used.  However, I have bought both Canon brand batteries and "generics" for my Canon 5D in the past.  I have decided to stay with the Canon band batteries from now on.  While both fit in the camera and do what batteries do, the "generic" doesn't quite fit the charger.  I have not done a "usage comparison" to see how long each lasts or how many shots they take.  I wish this Canon product had some sort of gauge so the user can tell when it should be recharged and when it should be replaced.  Both of the ones I had that were purchased simultaneously pooped out simultaneously in the middle of the mass ascension at the Albuquerque balloon festival several years back.

This battery is just fine!

I've tried a couple of aftermarket (cheaper) batteries and conclude that you get what you pay for. The Canon OEM batteries consistently last longer between charges and last longer overall. They do cost more, but their usefulness is clearly evident.

Original Eqiupment is the Best

good battery - long lasting - fast recycle - always read your camera instruction book to purchase the correct battery - shoot with confidence with genuine Canon batteries.

a quality battery

I wanted a back up battery that works with my digital Canon camera.  I talked with Adorama staff by phone, and I got advice on what was available, brand name and generic, used and new.  I took the advice and did not regret my decision.  This battery is reliable.

Good battery

I bought a Canon EOS 50D with two Canon BP-511A Li-on Rechargeable Batteries back in . And after 3 years of photoshoots and athletic events, it appears as though I'll have to fix the camera lens's automatic focus feature (from overuse) before considering a new set of batteries. The batteries are durable, reliable, and long-lasting. I've been impressed!

Still trustworthy after 3 years

Experience has taught me that the after market batteries are never as good as those produced for the original camera manufacturer and which bear its name.  The Canon batteries are 4 to 5 times as expensive, but they last much longer than the after market batteries.

Canon batteries are better than clones

I've only had one day of use, but it performed as well as all my other Canon batteries.
