Although the battery looks charged, it often runs out quickly. So either the charging indicator is getting a false reading from the battery or the battery drains quickly.

I had originally order’d the wrong battery. Getting an exchange for the correct one was no hassell.

I originally purchased one of these batteries as an extra for my Canon 30D. However, after receiving it, a professional photography recommended getting non-branded version from a different website. The price of those non-branded versions was $8 each, I returned this and ordered 5 of the others for the same price as one of the Canon’s. The non-branded batteries have been working just great.
This is one case where I personally chose to skip the Canon brand…most everything else I have is Canon branded.

If you have to read this then you have issues.

Nothing to worry about.
Got an extra for my 30D.

No even the only battery, I have the grip and I buy one BP511 from canon and two from Ultralast. The one which came in the camera its dead after 7 months not even with a hard use. The other one, after 12months dead (I use that with my previous 30D)
The ultralast batteries still working good. Just 15$ I pay last year for those, 1600mAh.
