JVC BN V416U Lithium Ion

Advantages: size, durability
Disadvantages: ?

...having recently bought this battery for my camera, i can safely say, it is the best camera bettery i have had so far.

Advantages: Can't think of any - buy a third party battery at a tenth of the price!
Disadvantages: Disgustingly overpriced

...Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) accessories are usually sold at a premium, but the price of this particular battery is verging on the excessive!

Advantages: long lasting battery life and half the size of the NB-1LH
Disadvantages: none

...Description The battery is made by and for Canon cameras. The battery type is a rechargeable lithium ion and it runs for 150 minutes at full charge. It hols a capacity of 790mAH and the battery is both long lasting and reliable. The battery was produced originally to succeed the NB-1Lh in size so that they could create smaller digital cameras for them to be used with. With a fully charged NB-3L Battery you will never miss the important snap when you're just about to capture the perfect moment! When in packaging the product weighs 454 g and it has a size of 17.5 x 6.9 x 1.8 and it weighs 100g by itself. Compared to equilevent batteries like jessops NB-3L it has a much better battery life and is a much better value for money compared to it's competitors. I would advise with not using other forms of compatible batteries as these... Read review
