To go with my new Canon Digital Rebel T2i, I looked around for a third-party LP-E8 battery. Yes I know the argument--"why would you put $4/$8/$10 battery in a $800 camera, it's worth it for the peace of mind to go with the genuine Canon battery," etc. Well having been using digital cameras and DSLRs for well near 10 years now, and having used plenty of third-party batteries (including "name brands" like SterlingTek and other no-name ones), I don't have any qualms about using third-party batteries. They work just as well for a fraction of the cost. Really, when was the last time you've heard of a digital camera exploding or catching on fire because of the third-party batteries?
I have a Power2000 brand LP-E5 equivalent battery that I've been using in my Digital Rebel XSi for the past two years with great results, so I wanted to get the same brand for the T2i (LP-E8). I bought it through Amazon.com's Marketplace, from a vendor called TheMemStore. They shipped it promptly, and I had it a few days later.
The battery charges fine in the T2i-supplied battery charger, and works fine in the camera. It is rated for 1,500mah capacity as opposed to the genuine Canon's 1,120mah, so in theory it should give you approx. 35% more shots per charge. As I tend to recharge the batteries whenever I return home, and not necessarily let the batteries go until they are fully discharged, I haven't really noticed a difference yet--but it certainly seems to last just as long as the Canon battery that came with the camera. The T2i seems to eat up battery power rather quickly while shooting video, so I may end up getting another one for a full day's shooting/recording. One difference between the Power2000 battery and the Canon OEM battery is the rated voltage: 7.4V for the Power2000 and 7.2V for the Canon battery. A cursory web search indicates that this is within acceptable fluctation range for the battery.
I've uploaded a couple of pictures of the battery package and the battery itself. Notice the package states 7.2V, but the battery itself states 7.4V (same as the item description).
Overall I'm pretty happy with this battery--a great value for 1/5 of the Canon battery's cost.
Hoping its too good and true May 12, 2010

Owned this for about two weeks and its been a great battery. on its first two charges its held them longer than the standard Canon battery, and for this price, thats amazing. I'm just hoping it continues to perform this well for a while. To be honest though, at this price it doesn't need to.
Excellent replacement battery for the T2i/550D May 13, 2010

I have two of these batteries and let me tell you that I'm totally satisfied with my purchase. So far no problems and working great all the time. You can't beat the price although I got mine for $10 something but now they added $2 plus dollars. Oh well, still cheaper than the original Canon LP-E8. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and get one or two. The best repalcement battery for the T2i! Cheers!
Great for my T2i great Can't beat em for the price. June 10, 2010

After 3 charge cycles here is what i know: You will get close to the same shots per charge as you would with the OEM battery. Only trouble I had was the charge indicator does not work perfectly, I had a low batt warning pop up when the charge indicator was showing half full. For the $$ you can't complain.
Better than canon lp-e8 June 5, 2010

This battery lasts more than the canon lp-e8 in my t2i. I took more than 1000 pictures with it during a 4 day trip.
