Works good as a spare when the main battery is depleted.

Works great as a back up battery when the main battery is depleted. The capacity is noticeably much less than the original from Canon. Good for its purpose for the price. Came on time too.
Doesn't work for SD880IS

Dont buy it. For me, worked just once. Then recharged it and when tried again just keep receving a "Change the battery pack" message. I have tried a lot of Internet procedures, but this just doesnt work
Doesn't work reliably with Canon SD950IS

I wanted to confirm what many of the other 1-star reviewers are saying: when I used this Lenmar DLC5L (NB-5L) battery in a Canon SD950IS after a full charge, either the camera immediately said "recharge/replace" or after a few minutes of use it would die. I tried 3 of the Lenmar DLC5L (NB-5L), from 2 different orders, and they all had the same issue. So as far as I can tell, this appears to be a design flaw. My guess is that it is a mechanical tolerance issue when plugged into certain Canon SD models.
So I returned all of the Lenmar DLC5L's (NB-5L), and went with another supplier of higher quality Japanese-manufactured Canon-compatible batteries (Wasabi Power); those have (thankfully) not had the "recharge/replace" issue, but the charge only lasts about 1/2 of the length of time of the original Canon battery even though they claim to have a higher power density. So overall, I'd recommend people just spend the money on the original Canon genuine NB-5L, unless you're ok swapping batteries frequently with cheaper (non-Lenmar) NB-5L clones.
One side-note: I also have a Lenmar high-density Panasonic camcorder battery which has worked flawlessly for over 2 years now and lasts for many hours on a charge! So Lenmar has been known to make great batteries, just not apparently for several Canon SD model cameras.

The life of this batery is too short. Sometimes it take only 25 pictures and needs recharge.
