Hello i would like to say a little bit about the battery for the Canon EOS
450D 12.2 mp Digital Camera even when there is not a lot to say about
a battery in a review, well here goes as far as batteries go.
Canon have developed this battery to be 50% more powerfull than the
battery for the EOS 400D and gives more shooting time in its lithium ion
power pack, the battery is a Canon LP-E5 battery pack and you can
recharge the battery with its own charger that comes with the camera
when you buy the kit.
Now the camera run at 7.4 volts with an output of 1080mah capacity,
also the battery has no memory effect this means you can charge the
battery when you want, you dont have to discharge all its power before
recharging plus eco friendly.
now the battery has been designed to fit Canon`s other D-SLR range
and they are the 500D and the 1000d model so if you have upgraded
to the 500d from the Rebel XSi the battery will fit.
Now the tech side has been covered they are some imitaion batteries
out there for the Rebel XSi like the powerstorm LP-E5 and many
other makes.
These are a little cheaper in price to acquire but by some reviews of
these batteries there are a lot to be desired.
Here i would like to show you some reviews from amazon customers
about the canon and lower priced models.
vipre77 says:Bought a genuine Canon LP-E5 as a backup to the
original that came with my Rebel XSI that I bought last year. Had
it for 3 months and it worked fine. Only charged it maybe 3 times
in the time that I had it. One day, for no apparent reason, it gave
up the ghost and wouldn't take a charge at all. I bought this battery
from a reputable local Canon authorized retailer right before they
went out of business. Three months had passed since I bought the
battery. The retailer that sold me the battery was out of business.
I was past their return period, so even if they were still in business,
I'd still have been hosed anyway, so I called Canon USA directly
to see about getting it returned under warranty. Turns out that
Canon USA offers NO WARRANTY OF ANY SORT on their
batteries. I paid nearly $70 for a battery that I only used a couple
of times and then died permanently. It was nearly enough to make
me sell off all of my Canon gear (2 digital SLR's with a collection
of lenses, 1 point-and-shoot, a flatbed scanner and a multi-function
printer) and jump ship to another camera manufacturer. Caveat Emptor!
Do yourself a favor and buy a superior aftermarket battery from
another manufacturer that actually gives you a warranty with their products.
ronni j.engel says:Battery mysteriously quite working after less than 3 months.
Would put in charger, light would illuminate red, then after a few hours
(normal charging time) would go green, I would remove charger from
outlet, remove battery, put in camera and nothing--no power at all.
I put in back in charger, and light went red---same thing several times!
c.o`connor says: The battery is an OEM Canon battery. I bought this
as a spare battery for our honeymoon to Greece this year. The writing
on the battery is different from the one that came with my camera and
is different from the picture as advertised, but other than that it is
identical. I haven't recharged it yet but it came almost fully charged
and I have taken about 300 pictures on it and it is only halfway down
now. It came with the contact cover and easily fits in to the battery
compartment, unlike some of the aftermarket batteries which can stick.
Well worth the price. c.o`connor
As you can see some people are saying about the price of the
Canon LP-E5 battery but are willing to pay the price for quality
with Canon and most just wanted backup batteries for there camera.
