Hello i would like to say a little bit about the battery for the
Canon EOS 450D12.2 mp Digital SLR 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 450D the battery will fit.
Now the tech side has been covered they are some imitaion batteries
out there for the 450D 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.
