I bought a Canon S40 almost two years ago and the Canon Li-ion NB-2L Battery Pack is starting to not hold a charge very well… the booklet says that it's rated for 300 "charge cycles," and I guess I've done that in spaces!
I toddled off to the nearby Best Buy store and the SOBs wanted $54.95 for a (non-Canon) replacement! Whooooooooa, talk about your "sticker shock!"
I poked around on the web and there were also a ton of replacement types ranging in price from $16.00 to almost $40, including this little beauty at $20.00, plus $4.00 delivery. (Interestingly, that site came up on not only a Google search for "NB-2L," from a link on the Amazon.com "NB-2L" page.
Anyone have any track record with this type of "replacement" battery?
Or replacement batteries in general?
