Same lah I think... never bought from them so I dunno for sure...

Hi chyeo, is the batt EN-EL2 format supported in S45/50? I need a NB-2L one ... dunno if they're the same?

erwinx · 7th May 2003

unless prices went up, you should be able to get the 1250 Megapower BP-511s for $30 from AP without much bargaining

kindred · 7th May 2003

My contact told me unless I can get a lot of orders, the price remains at $30. I'm doing this MO just to let people have the convenience of buying these batts during SEED... so if you feel more convenient to get from AP, go ahead...

Which model?

mylau · 8th May 2003

i am using the 1800 mah batteries. bought at $28 from MSColor.

i've only used it for one week, can't comment on the longevity of this battery.

but initial test on my maha C777plus-II analyzer showed that the strength of this battery is stronger than megapower.

icyflame · 8th May 2003

i bought my g1 and ixus megapower from m colour at only 25 each around 6 mths back. dunno whether they still selling at that price, cuz someone said he bought at 25 so i went to try my luck

if u can only get 30, might as well buy direct from ap

what brand?

mylau · 9th May 2003

the brand is 'digital'. whether this battery can be put through extreme use, i can only report 1 month later.

chyeo · 9th May 2003

Seems like you guys have better lobangs. Seem pointless to have this MO, also no one supporting too. In that case, I cease this MO from now on. If anyone want me to help get or check anything, just PM me directly.

Mods/Admin, help lock this thread please. Thanks.

Is that the one on purple box? I got one from MSColor too but it was faulty. I used the Maha analyzer and it discharge only 477mah after full charge, worst than any of my canon battery. I returned to exchange for the Megapower.

i think you've got a faulty one. i've bought 4 of them. all of them discharge at around 16++ mah after full charge.

the megapower discharge at around 13++.

Hi there,

i put 2 of the 1800 batteries into the 10D, switch the camera on for 9 hours and still going strong.

i shot 180 images yesterday with 2 fresh batteries, with 4 sec preview, and a lot of magnification of the pictures, and batteries still going strong.

the analyser can be bought from EastGear, $165.95.
