I really should read the batteries better. should have got the 809 not the 808. Oh well, it works.
Great spare battery
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Works just like the OEM battery that came with my Vixia HG20 HD cam. Having the ability for the camera to “talk” to the battery to provide battery information and capacity status is important for me. However, this is pricier than the basic non-OEM battery.
The only thing I did not like about the BP-808 is that it is thinner than the OEM BP-807 so when installed on the cam, it is not flushed with the cam body and doesn’t look as slick.
every camcorder needs one

What can I say…..you don’t want to get caught without enough juice. So, you have to have the spare battery…..be sure to alternate.
Probably should’ve just bought non-Canon battery

Nothing is wrong with this battery except that I probably didn’t need to spend the extra money buying a Canon one. Oh well. I’m sure Energizer or Duracell makes an excellent one for cheaper. Never looked.

The FS100 camcorder-great! Amazon -great too! What’s bad is the Canon battery. I bought a backup BP808 battery from Frys Electronics for about $80. It went bad in 1 month. I took it back and they replaced it…great! Now, 5 months later, it happened again and they say call Canon, as they aren’t doing anything with it.Canon says they don’t warranty batteries. ‘So you mean to tell me I have a camcorder that only takes a certain battery that they make, and even if it lasts a week they won’t replace?’ And they said,” yes, but we’ll log your complaint”. Darn right.

I ordered this battery, went right to Europe for a month and when we got there the battery didn’t work at all. The battery won’t even charge or hold a charge. I’m hoping that the seller will give me a new battery. I’m hoping that this will help me find the right person to talk to about this.
Wrong Item Received

I ordered a battery for a cannon FS100. The invoice for the battery I received indicated it was for an FS100 but was too big for my camera. Since I had opened the package thinking it was the proper battery, I was unable to return it for a refund. Thus, I lost about $60 on this purchase. I am very dissatisfied with this transaction.
Wonderful Buyer!!!

This seller is awesome. I bought a battery when it came it was DOA. They had me send it back to them and they sent out a new battery. The new battery works great and I couldn’t be more happy with the service I received from this buyer. Not to mention my battery works great!!!

This product was received and operated as expected. It is a compliment for the Canon FS11. The camcorder will operate approximately 90 minutes on a full charge. Having a spare is almost manditory. I have been able to continue recording while one battery charges.

Original Canon batteries, way overpriced……as always
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I own canon professional SLR’s so I know from past experience Canon’s policies about third party products that work with their stuff; they fight it tooth and nail and try to keep a monopoly on everything. My SLR’s use the venerable 512 battery packs, fortunately somebody was able to reverse engineer those and sell them reasonably instead of the 80 plus dollars Canon wants for an original pack. Don’t get me wrong, Canon makes good stuff they just have a really inflated view of what folks are able to pay for things if you ask me. I love my FS100 it’s a great camcorder, well worth what I paid for it but the battery packages are outrageously priced for it. Right after we bought the camcorder bestbuy started offering an outfit that included a second battery for what amounts to a bargain…unfortunately I missed out on that. You can find japanese versions of these batteries on ebay but they DO NOT HAVE THE ELECTRONICS in the pack so the camera cannot detect charge and they will not charge on the camera…so far only canon has this battery with all the electronics in it for sale. I bought a third party charger, one of the new batteries I bought (I got two) will not charge on that unit but it does on the camera. Most of us never shoot more than two hours of video anyway(which is battery life in middle quality mode, maybe be shorter in highest quality mode). I feel these batteries are way overpriced and canon needs to stop being quite so stuffy about licensing tech specs so others can sell stuff too…but they do work as advertised and do last as long as they are supposed to in everyday use.

Just like the original in my FS100, and even came with a plastic snap-cover. It’s great to have a spare battery and external charger.
perfect

I took a trip to Africa and the extra battery was helpful….. buy an extra to be sure and safe.
