It is the original battery for the Canon Ixus. It pays to take such a second battery as a reserve in any case for larger enterprises. He holds normally used for a long time, but a day in Marrakech - and that with a digital camera, which anyway led to excessive photographing - and the battery is empty. Especially if you Flashes much. Put with a handle to the fully charged spare battery - and on it goes. Because the road also helps no charger. Buy recommendation for anyone who likes to take pictures even more.
