Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is this battery OEM or after market ?TIFFANY A : It's OEM. I purchased it, and it works well. I relied upon it heavily during a 3-week long Europe trip earlier this year.MARK R : It is genuine Canon battery. It comes in original retail packaging and fits perfectly into battery slot on Canon Vixia HF M41.PAUL I : When I bought it in 2010 it was OEM.WALLACE M : This is suppsed to be OEM, which is why I bought it....however I found that this Batt has increasingly degraded and will not accept a full charge after moderate use over the last 6 months. I have other non OEM batts that are performing better. This is confusing to me as i have always thought that the OEM batts were better. I will probably continue to buy OEM batts and hope that this particular case is not the norm.FRANK C : Hi, I am very pleased with this Canon OME product. So much so that I bought a 2nd one. I made the mistake of buying an off brand battery first. It was useless right away. It would not take nor hold a charge. But these Canon batteries, yes they are expensive, have never let me down. They get a lot of use. I guess it's really true.... your best bet is to put a Canon on a Canon. Hope this helps.PHILIP S : I have 2 battery packs. 1 is the BP-819 and the other is the BP-807. They both indicate being made by Canon in Japan and both give me optimum power. Unless these are fantastic counterfeits, I would have to believe that they are OEM and not after market products.LAURENCE W : THIS BATTERY IS OEM. Do not buy one that isn't . Purchased this battery a year ago and it still works great. Bought an aftermarket somewhere else and it died after two uses. You can find cheaper batteries elsewhere, but they're knockoffs and won't work and / or won't last.JOHN J : product is oem and of very high quality. jCHARLES M : OEM and it works great. I had tried Flashpoint BP827 2 times and neither would charge up. Adorama was prompt and trouble -free with returning them. Then I just went with Canon's battery.

Reliable but could be faster charging

It's a reliable battery but with a relatively short life (about two hours) and very slow to recharge, compounded by the fact that they don't make a multi-battery charger. Still, it's a good camera for our use and this battery's the best game in town.

A good, light weight battery

The XA10 is a great light weight camera for recording ethnographies and the longer life battery is a must. It takes a 3 hour charge and weights nothing. I carry four of them and don't have to recharge for days.

Good battery

I bought this battery as a replacement for the one that came with the camera, partly because I had a store credit and didn't know what else I needed. It fits in the original slot fine.

Bulky addition

A good product but does add some significant length to camcorder size when installed.

You get what you pay for.

I've bought off brand battery replacements for this Canon battery and was extremely disappointed. The off brand batteries became paperweights after the first use. Yes these Canon batteries are expensive but you can count on their performance to be top notch.

Canon camcorder battery lasts a long tim

My husband and I use the camcorder mostly when we're traveling. The battery can be recharged either from a wall outlet using the cord with the camera or with the charger that comes with the camers. Charging is relatively fast and long-lasting. Always have two battries, though, so you don't miss anything! If I could change something, I would like to have a way of knowing how much life is left in the battery (not the charge) so I would know when to replace it. They're costly and there's no way of knowing when it's futile to try to recharge it.

But none but Canon Batteries

Purchased non-branded batteries but they didn't work with Canon patented battery evaluation system. They did provide power. Why buy cheapies and eliminate one of the best features of the camera, never again, from now on camera manufacturer matching batteries.

Convenient Size

The original camera battery is too small. I use two of these BP-819 for normal operation and the original as backup.
