• With constant shooting, flash usage, image review and playback, especially when you have access to additional memory, your standard battery alone will not usually be sufficient.
• More powerful than your standard battery, this 1500mAh capacity LP-E5 will not put constraints on how you want to shoot.
• A battery loses power in cold weather, and can become too cold to operate the camera. Keeping a spare battery warm in your pocket to maximize battery power and periodically switching the cold battery for the warm one can significantly enhance battery performance.
• Memory Free! This LP-E5 can be charged at any time without harm, even if it already has a partial charge and can be typically charged over 1000 times.

Alternative Battery for the Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera / 3.7v / 1500-mAh / LP-E5 Equivalent

The battery sent by Adorama is the "Flashpoint" AD-LP-E5 Canon 7.4V 1200mAh

I can't test the amperage, but while it looks right, it doesn't actually fit the battery slot well. The battery won't eject from the camera, and it's very snug in the charger. It must be pried from the Canon XSI I own, at the risk of the little white retaining clasp.

I wouldn't buy it again.

I don't know why a review here says that it does not eject from Canon XSI. It works great for me. And one charge lasts several hundreds of shots, just like the battery came with the camera. According to the numbers on the battery, this one is supposed to last longer, but I did not notice any difference. As it works as well as the Canon counterpart, and much cheaper (I paid over 20 bucks, and it is even cheaper today as I am writing this review), I am pretty happy with it.

Fully compatible with my Canon Rebel XSI, great capacity, at a fraction of the cost of the Canon battery.

I purchased two of these batteries for my canon xsi and they seem to work just as well as the canon battery that came with my camera. don't waste your money on the canon ones, these are great!

Ordered this battery as a backup for my Canon Rebel XSI. Item fits and works great, however the first couple times I used it, the contacts on the battery were a little tight, and the camera wouldn't release it. Just took a little jiggle and the battery would free itself. Not sure if this is what other reviewers ment when they said the battery didn't fit, but after a few uses the batter slides in and out perfectly.
