BTR-BP827-JWP

I was a little skeptical about how great the battery was purported to be. I needn't be. My battery came partially charged (about 80%) and was clocking 254 minutes. After charging it fully I get 301 minutes of camera life. As for the size, when the viewfinder of my Canon XA-10 is popped out for usage, the eye-piece and the battery are about flush. Not too big a hassle at all. This battery works great, much better than the Canon original (only 90 minutes fully charged). I'm probably going to buy a couple more soon. Great product at a price you cannot beat! I ordered the battery and camcorder at the same time and the battery arrived two days before without paying extra for shipping. *update* So I had damaged the plastic casing of my first battery but it wasn't leaking or anything. I dropped it by accident from a second floor landing! To my surprise the battery was still usable; I wrapped some tape around the chipped plastic casing - I didn't lose charge or functionality, just created an aesthetic problem. I had always wanted another battery anyway, so I finally got around to it and ordered another. Shipping was fast, again! Now I have two great batteries. And now I know that these are extremely durable.

Good replacement battery, life seems to last ok and equivalent to the original

I purchased this battery and it already had a charge of about 150 minutes and I used it two times before it needed to be recharged. Then I let this battery charge over night and tried to use it again the next day and it showed only one bar on the camera and said it had 70 minutes remaining! The original camera battery had a longer charge. Then after about a minute of staring at the 70 minutes remaining it suddenly had only 50 minutes left. There is something seriously wrong with this NEW BATTERY. I don't know if it is the seller putting out crappy batteries or what, but i am really pissed off. My big problem is that I discovered that this was a bad battery after the time I could return it so now I am screwed. Before I bought this battery I did my research and thought that this seller was a good choice to purchase the battery from. So I took a chance and bought the battery thinking that it would be a long lasting battery, at least lasting longer then the original camera battery. I feel like I was cheated simply because I waited a month or so to see if the battery was functional. If you purchase this battery you need to check it right away and then fully charge it and make sure that it fully charges or you will get screwed like I did. CHECK THE BATTERY!!!! Like I said, it was my fault for waiting a month before testing the battery. It seemed to hold a charge the first time I put it in, then it just failed. If I were you I would just keep on looking.

This is the second one I bought for my cannon xa10 works great and shows data on screen like it says i’m happy for the price hard to beat

Now, I have read reviews that say your camera wont be able to communicate with NON OEM batteries and you wont be able to see the battery life still left available - HOGWASH. I have owned Canon GL1's & GL2's, Sony VX2000's & VX2100's and NOW the NEW Canon XA10 and the XF100 and ALL of them work/operate/report and perform Perfectly fine with Wasabi Power Batteries. I had pre-ordered my Canon XA10 back in January and waited til it arrived before purchasing additional batteries. The Canon BP 808 that came with the camera is a tiny lil battery that at 850 mAh does not last very long (maybe 1.5 to 2 hrs) BUT this BP 827 Wasabi Power replacement battery is a MUST have. At 3 times the size and 3000 mAh it runs ALL day. I probably used it 6-7 hrs last Sat without problem. Dont get all worried because I mentioned it is 3 times the size. Your looking at 4.25 OZ instead of the original being 1.5 OZ. I have 2 of these BP 827 and and a mid sized BP 819 at 1500 mAh only plan on using the mid size BP 819 and the original BP 808 as a last ditch back-ups. Oh, WAIT - i didnt mention the BEST part. This BP 827 not only lasts 3 or 4 times longer BUT is actually cheaper than the Canon OEM original. (sorry Canon) Matt - Professional Videographer Since 1993, I am not affiliated in any way with Wasabi - I just think you cant beat them for the price and power. UPDATE: 7/17/2015 The very 1st Wasabi Power Battery for Canon BP-827 I purchased back in 2011 (I know because I labeled it #1) Finally died last month. Wont charge or power on any of my XA 10's. Pretty good life span. I just purchased 2 more and have faith that they will last just as long

The old Canon HF M300 battery I had has started to lose it's ability to keep a charge. Not to mention the battery indicator on the camera says 97 minutes of record time when, in fact, I have only about 60 or so minutes. Kind of the same problem here, but at the same time, the lasting power is much higher. Will run my Vixia HF M300 for about 4 hours of record time before being completely discharged. When you get the battery, completely discharge it, then let it charge all the way up to full. This may take a couple hours, but the return on this will be well worth it. Wish it didn't have to protrude back so far, but not a fault of the battery or manufacturer, just a reality of higher capacity battery charges for what I'm needing. At $30, I have to give this a perfect score on principle alone. The battery is definitely chipped, so the camera will tell you remaining battery life and will also charge while in the camera as well. After picking this up with some lens filters, a lens hood, and a 32 GB class 10 SD card, the HF M300 I have is basically a brand spanking new camera.

Match for canon xa10 video camera

303 minutes for real! I use it on my Canon Vixia HG20. Unlike other batteries that I have bought during the last years for my camcorder, It is easily recognized by the camera and there are no error messages. I had read in the previews that it is big and interferes with some buttons on camcorder, but it is not true, it is big but I can easily reach the buttons. I may order another one again.

Excellent battery. Way better than the original Canon battery my HF M40 came with. New battery gives me over 5 hours recording time. Camera can read the battery just fine and I can charge it with the Canon charger.e

This is a good product in terms of capacity (almost double OEM), but it is literally twice the size of the Canon battery. The problem that creates is that it makes access to the record button difficult. Still good as a backup, but I would not use it as my main battery for this reason.

Did what it was suppose to, even in Canadian winter. I just kept it in my warm pocket until needed for filming.
