Digital camera Review: Lithium-Ion battery 1500mAH for Canon LP-E5
Summary: 4 Stars
Good battery but because not original Canon part, it sticks a bit but with very little effort, it comes out. Great for the price. We originally purchased a $40 Canon battery from Best Buy but returned it for this. We haven't completely drained the battery but seems to be just fine.Digital camera Review: Batter LP-E5

Tip to anyone having ejecting issue. The is a sticker on the front of this battery that causing it to fit too snug. Remove the sticker and possible insert a small pocket knife to loosing the contacts and this battery will work great. I do not recall any mention of removing the sticker before use but maybe there was.
Digital camera Review: Didn't get what I paid for
Summary: 1 Stars
So I ordered the Power 2000 batteries for my canon rebel xsi. I DID NOT RECIEVE WHAT I PAID FOR!!! I got 1000mAh by flashpoint from Adorama. I called Adorama and told them about the problem, and they told me I got the exact same thing as what I ordered..WRONG!!! So I put in a claim w/ Amazon and Adorama. I have not ordered many things from Amazon, and was concerned that future orders would be similar with switching. Any way, to my surprise, Adorama refunded all my money and allowed me to keep the incorrect batteries. They got an A++ from me for that effort. However, it appears that what you pay for, may not be what you get. I have read since about other camera outfits lisiting one type battery and switching to another. So be careful who you buy from...Digital camera Review: Power 2000 ACD-289 replacement battery

Battery is less strong than original, but good for the money.
I should admit that it takes little more time to recharge it.
I'm using it for 6 weeks.
I'm wondering how long it will lasts.
Digital camera Review: Your Mileage May Vary
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the Power2000 7.4V 1500mAh from this particular order. The product functions precisely as advertised and is an outstanding value so five stars.
I will buy this product again through the same vendor should I need more units in the future.
This also confirms that the product pictured is (at least in my circumstances) what you will receive.
Charge is as predicted (comparable to stock) but long-term durability is unknown. For the price point I can buy 4-5 of these for one Canon so that is likely a moot concern.
Additional Notes for Potential Buyers:
I will note the battery unit is marginally different than the stock battery in size/molding. This is forgivable (and half-expected) considering the price point. However, it functions fine in my Canon XSi (450D) using a battery grip (Zeikos imitation - excellent product fyi). This difference could be a concern if you are using the battery unit without a battery grip (directly in your camera). Users have complained about off-brand batteries fitting stiffly when inserted directly in their cameras.
I will emphasize that my order was serviced by TheMemStore rather than Amazon. Your order may be serviced by any number of vendors other than Amazon depending on availability - so pay attention to this on purchase. The specific product (by manufacturer) you will receive seems to depend on the specific servicing vendor. I determined this variance by reading the product reviews.
The products are all functionally the same (battery packs for the product in question) but the manufacturer and specifications of the product will differ. Obviously, any variance in manufacturer and product can result in differing experiences. This appears to be where confusion is resulting - buyers are getting differing products due to different vendors. This is only an observation of the issue and not a justification. Just be sure to change the specific vendor before adding the item to the cart.
I suggest checking ratings on the individual vendor before buying.
