i seen 2 comments about the size of the batteries being larger and one saying it was difficult to eject. Anyone else have problems?

No issue at all with ours!! Love having the spare great battery for a great price!

They are not any larger than normal. I have had absolutely no problem installing or ejecting.

Nope. No problem. Same size as the battery that came with the camera. It charges fine and holds the charge for quite a while and a lot of shots.

On my G15 it slides out easily. All I have to do is push the orange clip that holds it in out of the way and the spring pops it out. I let gravity do the rest.

Well I think that maybe the real problem is if the battery fits on your camera basing on the brand and model. Because the battery does not cause any problem at all

These batteries have been great to me...the only problem I have ever ran. In to is the connectors they are very stiff and hard to connect and if u dont connect them fully the battery will act like an ass lol

Ginny: I have had a problem with my B & D battery not fitting too well. Mine was slightly over sized and took some effort to slide in and latch properly. You could be having a similar problem. My battery was being used in a 5 or 6 year old leaf blower. If it is hard to get in and latch, it will be worse to get out. I just quit using the blower and substituted an older cord blower that I previously had.

No. I thought the same thing, but actually the end comes off like most other battery inserts. They had sent me an email telling me that, but I ignored it as spam haha

I would immediately send it back. It has to be defective. My two batteries work just fine. They take the charge and hold it until you are ready to use them. Sorry to hear you had trouble. These are hi-tech units and I do suppose that they are a little temperamental.

I did not find the battery difficult to change, but, it is a very small battery, of course. And I am a bit younger. Best wishes.

Mine is a tight fit as well. Perhaps yours are built a little on the large side, but for me, it is better than the oem batterry that falls right out. My two batteries do fit easier than the zerolemon extended battery. That one has to go in a certain way and takes some added effort.

I had the same problem with the one I ordered so I opened up the battery case to see if maybe the betteries were bad or missing. They has become badly oxidied in the case and so were obviously very old. I pried the suckers out with a screw driver, threw them away (being careful not to touch them with skin in case they were leaking any fluids), cleaned the inside with a clorox wipe, and popped some new batteries in and it has worked great ever since. Give that a try and I hope this helps!

I have had mine for some time and don't recall that it was a problem when I installed the battery. Sounds like you may have to return it and get another, BTW, I do like (and trust) the unit.

The battery compartment is a bit snug. Even the original Canon battery needs a bit of encouragement to come out. I tap it a bit to get either the Canon or Halcyon battery out. Not too bad. -r

Actually, I've never noticed. I usually use two batteries with no problems. I do a lot of vertical shots and it's been great so far.

I have had no problems removing the battery. Make sure you are pulling it from the right side. As the picture shows from the top. If you try from the bottom it has a latch and its impossible to remove from that end. Hope this helps. G.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

Thanks Brianlatz! I swear I couldn't figure out how to put the battery in so I finally just decided to shove it in. But then the little ring wouldn't fit. Now I can't take it out. I thought there must have been an easier way. Thank god for google which led me here. lol. Geez. How the hell am I going to take the battery out now???

We purchased this item but have had difficulty using it. I put batteries in it and it did not work. In fairness I have not spent a lot of time tryimng to figure out what is wrong. But than should I have to spend time trying to "fix" it?

It's a little late for you I imagine, but hopefully it'll help someone else because I had the same question. The one I purchased did not look like the picture I see now. Mine holds 25 AAA, and I purchased it a month ago, but now it shows a picture which only holds 10 AAA, and has extra C and 9 volt storage. In the one I ordered, Eneloop batteries fit very well and have no issues. I had 1 or 2 holes that were a little tight with alkaline batteries, but nothing ridiculous, and no issues remove the batteries or having to not use certain holes like others have mentioned.

I haven't had any issues that I know of. The nice thing is the camera doesn't really eat battery power anyway, but I always carry the extra one when I'm out. I don't pay attention to which one goes in, and I couldn't tell you a difference. My only suggestion is you ALWAYS take care of your batteries, and they'll last.
