Good fit and replacement for my old Cannon Vixia batteries. Works as expected.

First I normally demand Canon OEM, but bought a used Vixia HF300 and didn't want to spend 3x more than the camera that I had no proof worked. Spent a full day "exploring" with the camera and first charge lasted me >120 minutes of actual recording, playback, playing with the features and some time on standby mode during and after a three hour hike. Camera displayed the battery life and kicked off with about <16 minutes (yellow zone) allegedly remaining. However I had not had a full cycle of charge/discharge on the battery as is recommended by canon to "set" the camera battery display, so I would expect a better reading next use. All being said heck with Canon's OEM these babies work great and having a back-up is ALWAYS the way to go.

The last set we bought worked for almost 5 years before not holding a charge! Let's see how long these last.

I came to you as the camera I bought was so new that the rather large electronics store did not carry any battery under $100, so I went to a battery store. They did not have them in stock and could not even order them yet.I bought two large batteries through Amazon for less than $50 and had them shipped. They arrived in two or three days, were well packaged, and seem to work great. I haven't used them enough yet to evaluate their performance but I charged them up and they seem to be accepted by the camera well and are still fully charged after a week. My impression of them at this time is, GREAT!

Battery life is not the same like the original ones

After a few years and only sporadic use and recharging, these are still working!

Price was a large part of why I chose this battery, compared to the canon OEM battery this one is almost free.It performs exactly like the Canon Battery.I have recorded over an hour at one time and still have plenty juice left. I think anyone needing long recording times will be pleased with this battery,Of course the battery is pretty large for the size of the camcorder, but with all large capacity battery for this camcorder the stick out quite a ways.Well worth the price. and you get two batteries. Far exceeded my expectations.

I bought these 2 'new' batteries as back-up for the current batteries I have for my Canon video camera.I tried both them out today, fresh out of the package. The first battery said I had 154 minutes (over 2 1/2 hours) but within 1 hour 9 minutes, the battery was completely dead...the 2nd battery did worse. It said I had about 143 minutes (2 hours 23 minutes) and it died in about 50 minutes...Two 'new' batteries that drain Very Fast. What a rip-off. A waste of about $45. I can't even get refund because I need to 'get to a nearby UPS station' to drop it off, and none of those are near where I live. Contacted the company, got no response.
