Digital camera reviews of Lenmar DLC5L Lithium-ion Digital Camera/Camcorder Battery Equivalent to the Canon NB-5L Battery

Digital camera Review: Charges fine, but my Canon camera rejects it...
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this battery as a cheaper option to the Canon replacement battery for my PowerShot SD880IS. The battery charged up fine in the charger that came with my camera. However, when I put the battery in the camera, I got the message: "Replace battery pack". Comparing side-by-side to the Canon battery, it looks similar except that the metal contacts on the Lenmar are a bit more recessed than the ones on the Canon. It's probably due to this that my camera won't take the Lenmar (incomplete contact with the camera contacts).

Overall, I can't give this a good review since it didn't work in my camera, even though it was supposed to be an equivalent to the Canon battery.

Digital camera Review: Cheap but good as brand name
Summary: 5 Stars

Bought it and used it and I see no difference between this battery and Canon's battery. Glad I paid less for it than the brand name item.

Digital camera Review: Cheap no good battery
Summary: 1 Stars

Bought this battery last March 2008. Used it once or twice only.
Now, a year and 3 months after it was (barely) used, its busted.

Doesn't charge, doesn't power on cam either. Next time im investing
more money on branded batteries like canon / nikon.


Digital camera Review: Compatibility problem with Canon SD870 IS
Summary: 1 Stars

I recently bought 3 of these batteries believing that they were truly equivalent to Canon's NB-5L for my Canon SD870 IS camera. All of the 3 batteries exhibit the same symptom: Even right after being fully charged, it will cause a "Change battery pack" message on the camera. After re-inserting the battery, the message will go away. This has not happened to my Canon NB-5L battery, just these Lenmar batteries. Another problem: they don't last as long as the Canon battery.

Digital camera Review: Completely useless
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this battery on April 29, 2008. Since it's intended to be a spare battery, I hadn't needed to use it until last weekend when I went on a 3-day trip. I used it for the first time and it doesn't work. I charged it to full (the green indicator in the original Canon charger came on indicating that it was supposed to be "fully charged"). However, it just didn't work in the camera. After coming home I recharged the original Canon battery, and it works, which means that it's not the camera or charger's problem, but the Lenmar battery's. I was quite frustrated by the poor quality of this battery, as I never used it before last weekend, and kept it in a cool, dry, safe corner of my home. It was most inconvenient to me because it's completely useless when I need it the most. Yes, it's cheap, but it's not worth the hassle. Now that the 30-day return period is over, I can only get partial refund. Figuring in the time and postage on the possible return, it's not even worth the return or refund. I will NEVER EVER buy this batter again.
