Match for canon xa10 video camera

I was a little skeptical about how great the battery was purported to be. I needn't be. My battery came partially charged (about 80%) and was clocking 254 minutes. After charging it fully I get 301 minutes of camera life. As for the size, when the viewfinder of my Canon XA-10 is popped out for usage, the eye-piece and the battery are about flush. Not too big a hassle at all. This battery works great, much better than the Canon original (only 90 minutes fully charged). I'm probably going to buy a couple more soon. Great product at a price you cannot beat! I ordered the battery and camcorder at the same time and the battery arrived two days before without paying extra for shipping. *update* So I had damaged the plastic casing of my first battery but it wasn't leaking or anything. I dropped it by accident from a second floor landing! To my surprise the battery was still usable; I wrapped some tape around the chipped plastic casing - I didn't lose charge or functionality, just created an aesthetic problem. I had always wanted another battery anyway, so I finally got around to it and ordered another. Shipping was fast, again! Now I have two great batteries. And now I know that these are extremely durable.

303 minutes for real! I use it on my Canon Vixia HG20. Unlike other batteries that I have bought during the last years for my camcorder, It is easily recognized by the camera and there are no error messages. I had read in the previews that it is big and interferes with some buttons on camcorder, but it is not true, it is big but I can easily reach the buttons. I may order another one again.

The old Canon HF M300 battery I had has started to lose it's ability to keep a charge. Not to mention the battery indicator on the camera says 97 minutes of record time when, in fact, I have only about 60 or so minutes. Kind of the same problem here, but at the same time, the lasting power is much higher. Will run my Vixia HF M300 for about 4 hours of record time before being completely discharged. When you get the battery, completely discharge it, then let it charge all the way up to full. This may take a couple hours, but the return on this will be well worth it. Wish it didn't have to protrude back so far, but not a fault of the battery or manufacturer, just a reality of higher capacity battery charges for what I'm needing. At $30, I have to give this a perfect score on principle alone. The battery is definitely chipped, so the camera will tell you remaining battery life and will also charge while in the camera as well. After picking this up with some lens filters, a lens hood, and a 32 GB class 10 SD card, the HF M300 I have is basically a brand spanking new camera.

Excellent battery. Way better than the original Canon battery my HF M40 came with. New battery gives me over 5 hours recording time. Camera can read the battery just fine and I can charge it with the Canon charger.e
