1 battery works, 1 battery is bad. Receive error message:"Cannot communicate with the battery pack. Continue using this battery pack?"Choose "Yes", then the camera shuts down in a couple minutes.

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.

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!

Good yes yah yah

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 just tested this on my Canon RF30 and I'm very happy with the results. I recorded 1 hour and 39 minutes and could have gone longer, but my SD card was running out of space. I was using the AVCHD format. The battery also communicates well with the camera and you can see how much time is left. Impressive

The batteries that came with my camcorder only last 20mins at best.So these batteries were a big upgrade. I have heavily used these batteriesfor the last year and so far so good. They easily last over 120mins each...It does however add a lot to the weight and size of your camera so be aware.Definately a great buy if your looking to buy batteries that last long and show charge status.

Works on my HF-R400 just fine. They seem to deplete a little more quick than what the actual time says... but not by much.I am really satisfied with my purchase!

Meh they do what there suppose to

Works well on the Canon VIXIA HF M500 and M50. As good or better than Canon original battery.

no complaints,highly recommend,just reordered

Great bargain. Delivered fast

I start using these batteries on my canon video camera, and found them amazing. They have long life, longer then the original ones. They also corresponds with the camera so you know how much juice are still there. Not all OEM batteries have this capability.
