Digital camera reviews of Lenmar DLC5L Lithium-ion Digital Camera/Camcorder Battery Equivalent to the Canon NB-5L Battery
Digital camera Review: Does not hold much charge
Summary: 1 Stars
Doesn't hold charge as long as the Canon battery that came with the camera. After full charge, I got about 50 pictures. Loses charge quick.
Don't be so cheap (like I was): buy the Canon version. I wish I did...
Digital camera Review: Does what it should at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
It charges quickly and lasts a long time. What more do you need in a battery. Oh yeah, and I can buy four of these for what the brand name one costs.Digital camera Review: Doesn't last that long
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a Lenmar for my older Canon SD1000 some time ago, and it was mostly fine.
This one, however, doesn't last half-as-long as the factory battery for my Canon SX210.
So, I give it two stars for being a cheap, emergency power back-up, but DON'T rely on this
battery as your primary source for power when you head out for a long days' shooting or you'll be left with no way to take pictures.
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work for SD880IS
Summary: 1 Stars
Dont buy it. For me, worked just once. Then recharged it and when tried again just keep receving a "Change the battery pack" message. I have tried a lot of Internet procedures, but this just doesnt workDigital camera Review: Doesn't work reliably with Canon SD950IS
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted to confirm what many of the other 1-star reviewers are saying: when I used this Lenmar DLC5L (NB-5L) battery in a Canon SD950IS after a full charge, either the camera immediately said "recharge/replace" or after a few minutes of use it would die. I tried 3 of the Lenmar DLC5L (NB-5L), from 2 different orders, and they all had the same issue. So as far as I can tell, this appears to be a design flaw. My guess is that it is a mechanical tolerance issue when plugged into certain Canon SD models.
So I returned all of the Lenmar DLC5L's (NB-5L), and went with another supplier of higher quality Japanese-manufactured Canon-compatible batteries (Wasabi Power); those have (thankfully) not had the "recharge/replace" issue, but the charge only lasts about 1/2 of the length of time of the original Canon battery even though they claim to have a higher power density. So overall, I'd recommend people just spend the money on the original Canon genuine NB-5L, unless you're ok swapping batteries frequently with cheaper (non-Lenmar) NB-5L clones.
One side-note: I also have a Lenmar high-density Panasonic camcorder battery which has worked flawlessly for over 2 years now and lasts for many hours on a charge! So Lenmar has been known to make great batteries, just not apparently for several Canon SD model cameras.
