"Everything I needed"
At first I could not believe that the 3 hour time limit was true because the smaller batteries didn't even last 45 minutes using the eye viewer. To my surprise, this battery lasted over the 3 hour limit and I used the TV viewer to film. I do sports videography and I need something that wouldn't have to run and charge every hour because in tournament action every game is back to back.

This was beyond what I wanted and I ordered two when i really only needed one! I must say that this is a new battery and I am not sure how long it takes for the charge to start to degenerate, etc. this was a good buy at a good price.

Well, it's been almost a year since I wrote this review and this battery is still going strong! The only problem is the older it gets, the longer it takes to charge, but if you pop it on before you go to bed the day before filming, you should be good to go!

Great buy!

"More power is goood."
This is a great battery if you are shooting for long periods of time and dont want to have to worry about filling your pockets with extra batteries.

"Great batteries, "
Purchased from camera_world for $49.
These were authentic Canon batteries in original packaging. They work great and I have put them through many cycles. They hold up terrificly.

"Canon DV Camera Battery"
Great long lasting battery. Worth the extra price for longer run times. Lasts for over three hours on one charge.

"Not from Canon model!"
This battery, if purchased from North East Power and Battery, is not the Canon BP-945, but an equivelent. If you are looking for the actual one from Canon, I suggest buying it straight from Amazon, not from North East Power and Battery.
