->> Got back from assignment today and the Delkin NPE3 battery was at my door.
I'm impressed! it is practically identical to a Canon battery. The finish is a tad bit smoother than Canon and the thumb latch is a bit shinier. Overall construction is excellent (rubber gasket and all) and the fit is very smooth. Put it on the charger and everything is normal.
Time will tell as to its longevity and charge dissipation.
I had talked with a Delkin official months ago when they stated the battery was "coming soon" and he did state that they would not ship any until they (the batteries) were perfect and passed all their tests.
NPPA member price is $54.95...Looks like money well spent! |

->> Randy,
Are you still happy with the Delkin battery now that you've had a little more time to play with it? |

| ->> I use the Delkin batteries and they rock! I can shoot all day with normal chimping and don't need to change the batteries out. I made sure to do a triple refresh when I got them. You can't beat the NPPA price. |

| ->> Chris do you have any connection problems like the batteries from mydigitaldiscount are having ?? The problem they are having is that when you connect the charger to them the connection is loose, and then when you put them in the camera they do not seat good. |
