What our customer's say!

"Great replacement battery", I bought the BP-2L14 as a replacement for the battery that came with my Optura camera. The standard battery never quite held a charge from the start and before long I would get a "battery warning" lamp right after turning on the camera. The longer life and no memory charging make this a great option for anyone looking for a backup battery.

"Amazing battery!!!", I own the Canon HV-20 and this battery is almost twice as large as the stock battery and it fits flush with the camera body. This battery lasts much longer than the stock battery. All you need are a couple of these and you'll be set for a full days recording!!!

"Works Great with the Canon HG10", This battery works great with my Canon HG10. I'd recommend it as being worth the higher cost.

Happy filming!

"Exceptional performance", I bought this battery at the end of 12/07 and writing this review at the end of 5/08.

This is a product of exceptional quality. The unit is made in Japan, unlike the batteries of Chinese manufacture that comes with the Canon video cameras these days (mine is the HV20). Whether the difference in quality between a China-made battery and a Japan-made battery is perception or real, I don't know. I prefer made in Japan stuff, due to their high quality control and reliability.

This battery has high energy retention. I was surprised to find out that after 5 months in storage, this battery showed up as 100% charged on the OSD (on-screen display) of my camera. Pick one or two of these up as a spare. I am quite happy with this purchase.

"canon extra battery", I needed a spare with more with longer life and that's what I got. Works great!

"Excellent battery, just small", As a professional cinematographer working 14+hour days, I know camera batteries. I want them to last a long time. These are well made, high quality OEM batteries. No better ones exist. However, I wish they made bigger, longer life batteries for the HV-20. I guess this small size is a compromise to keep the camera small and for the fact that the vast majority of users will only need a couple of hours of juice at a time. On the other hand, if you need to shoot all day, you'll need to buy at least two or more, turn off the camera frequently, fold up the LCD screen, use the non-orientable viewfinder, change batteries several times, etc, etc,. This even more so if you are in a cold environment.
Its a hassle, but one I'm used to and can deal with. My last camcorder had a HUGE battery and it would work all day. So I'm spoiled.
Also I went with Canon, and their higher price, because the cheap off-brand batts available worry me about their quality, and life times. The cheaper price was not enough for the risk. If anything happened to damage the camera, say faulty wiring, you are in a much better position warranty-wise. if everything is OEM.

"you get what you pay for", i have had very bad experiences with knock off canon batteries so i always buck up and buy canon. sure 2 times as expensive but i have never had one quit taking a charge. the 2L14 is a big step up from the 2L12/13 for just being a little bulkier. highly recommended and use the original battery as a spare.

"Nice to have Additional Battery", Its worth in investing in this battery if you shoot more....Continuously e.g. on trips etc. Its bit thick & lasts longer than the one which is supplied with HG10.

"It does what's expected.", This replacement battery does exactly what it is made to do; give you extended recording capability over the ridiculously inadequate battery that Cannon ships with their video cameras.

As mentioned in previous posts, this battery is roughly twice the size of the original battery, but fits the camera nicely. It also gives MORE than twice the record time. I get between 2 and 3 hours of shooting w/ the LCD open.

"Handy to have the extra battery", Okay, it's a battery, and it lasts about as long as predicted. I like to carry several extras, as we spend lots of time shooting nature stuff and are often away from a charging source (including our vehicles).Good deal for the price. The good thing is I can use the same charger that I use for my Rebel xti.
