Bulging

 

All five of my cheap, aftermarket, batteries for my camera are swollen.

Three of them are too bulged to go into the battery compartment.  Two will go in and don't really want to slide back out.

The OE battery that came with the camera is still running strong.

I guess I know where my money goes when I buy genuine Canon now.

  1. I don't know a lot about batteries but canned goods that bulge are not something I want anything to do with.

    1. Both are and indication you shouldn't use the contents thereof.

  2. FWIW I've had good results with Wasabi Power brand camera batteries. Out of 6 batteries I've only had one fail several years ago.

    1. I bought my spares in pairs. 2x Wasabi, 2x Batmax, and 2x PowerTek. I've had good luck with Wasabi, but they swelled up just like the other 4.
