I've had five of these batteries for my digital camera. It's been hit and miss every time. Some batteries have lasted only a couple months before no longer holding a charge and others for an entire year. The worst part is that when they go bad, it happens very quickly and unfortunately for me, while on vacation so it was difficult to find a replacement at the time I needed it the most.I'm on my fifth battery and it doesn't work so I've ordered a new charger to try to troubleshoot the problem further. Seems far easier to just deal with AA or AAA batteries than the fickle lithium-ion technology.
