Hello i would like to say a little bit about the battery for the Canon EOS Kiss X2 12.2
mp Digital Camera even when there is not a lot to say about a battery in a review, well
here goes as far as batteries go.
Canon have developed this battery to be 50% more powerfull than the battery for the
EOS 400D and gives more shooting time in its lithium ion power pack, the battery is a
Canon LP-E5 battery pack and you can recharge the battery with its own charger
that comes with the camera when you buy the kit.
Now the camera run at 7.4 volts with an output of 1080mah capacity,also the battery
has no memory effect this means you can charge the battery when you want, you
dont have to discharge all its power before recharging plus eco friendly.
Now the battery has been designed to fit Canon`s other D-SLR range and they are
the 500D and the 1000d model so if you have upgraded to the 500d from the
Kiss X2 the battery will fit.
Now the tech side has been covered they are some imitaion batteries out there for
the Kiss X2 like the powerstorm LP-E5 and many other makes.
These are a little cheaper in price to acquire but by some reviews of these batteries
there are a lot to be desired.
Here i would like to show you some reviews from amazon customers about the
canon and lower priced models.
vipre77 says:Bought a genuine Canon LP-E5 as a backup to the original that came
with my Rebel XSI that I bought last year. Had it for 3 months and it worked fine.
Only charged it maybe 3 times in the time that I had it. One day, for no apparent
reason, it gave up the ghost and wouldn't take a charge at all. I bought this battery
from a reputable local Canon authorized retailer right before they went out of
business. Three months had passed since I bought the battery. The retailer that
sold me the battery was out of business. I was past their return period, so even if
they were still in business, I'd still have been hosed anyway, so I called Canon
USA directly to see about getting it returned under warranty. Turns out that
Canon USA offers NO WARRANTY OF ANY SORT on their batteries.
I paid nearly $70 for a battery that I only used a couple of times and then died
permanently. It was nearly enough to make me sell off all of my Canon gear
(2 digital SLR's with a collection of lenses, 1 point-and-shoot, a flatbed scanner
and a multi-function printer) and jump ship to another camera manufacturer.
Caveat Emptor!
Do yourself a favor and buy a superior aftermarket battery from another
manufacturer that actually gives you a warranty with their products.
ronni j.engel says:Battery mysteriously quite working after less than 3 months.
Would put in charger, light would illuminate red, then after a few hours
(normal charging time) would go green, I would remove charger from outlet,
remove battery, put in camera and nothing--no power at all. I put in back in
charger, and light went red---same thing several times!
c.o`connor says: The battery is an OEM Canon battery. I bought this as a spare
battery for our honeymoon to Greece this year. The writing on the battery is
different from the one that came with my camera and is different from the picture
as advertised, but other than that it is identical. I haven't recharged it yet but it
came almost fully charged and I have taken about 300 pictures on it and it is
only halfway down now. It came with the contact cover and easily fits in to the
battery compartment, unlike some of the aftermarket batteries which can stick.
Well worth the price. c.o`connor
As you can see some people are saying about the price of the Canon LP-E5
battery but are willing to pay the price for quality with Canon and most just
wanted backup batteries for there camera.
