Do these batteries display the battery status info on the camera, so you know how much charge is left as you go?Some aftermarkets don't display.

Yes the Canon T3 will show Battery Life in Display Window on the Camera...If you have another model Maybe not? But I am thinking that it should..

After I replaced the original battery and put the camera on its charging station I thought the battery would not charge. After checking the battery level on the camera I determined that the battery had been fully charged upon receipt. I have had no problems with the new battery to date.

If it is the right battery for it. Have you checked to determine that? It's always good to have a backup battery fully charged and ready to go if the one in your camera quits and you are away from your charger.

These batteries will hold a charge, we cannot guarantee a new or fully working battery. Since these units are refurbished. We do not warranty the batteries.

My camera came with the factory battery and charger and included an additional aftermarket battery and charger. Nice to have options. BTW, the aftermarket battery lasts longer than the Nikon battery.

I cannot distinguish the OEM battery from the battery I purchased. They look and work exactly the same in my Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera; the battery life indicator works with both batteries; they both seem to provide the same length of service in the camera. They appear identical in every aspect.

Adilah, I've never had to worry about the purchase of an extra battery, I just make sure to charge my camera once the battery indicator shows "low battery". Also, if you remove your battery from the camera, you'll be able to see the type of battery required if in the event you do choose to purchase a secondary battery.

I just stick them in the charger I got with the camera and everything works fine. I don't pay ant attention to which battery is which.

I honestly don't know. You can look up your camera specs and it should tell you what battery to get.

My camera has a window that shows bars of how much life is left in the battery. My camera is an old digital Sony, 3.4 megapixels.

Hi Grant! I don't have quantitative data, unfortunately, and I could find no numbers on the Web. We've found the life of these batteries (between charges) to be acceptable for our uses. We're not pros, so we don't go out for extended time periods and burn the batteries all the way down. We've not been caught short or in need of a charge by these items, under our use conditions. Sorry I don't have better info; all we can say is we've used them for a short while and noticed no operational difference from OEM units in our hands.

My batteries are not as bad as you are describing yours are, but they do drain much faster than the Canon battery that came with my camera. Charge percentage in after market batteries have a tendency to fluctuate at times. What you are experiencing is not uncomon. Make sure you take them off the charging as soon as they finish charging & try not to charge them until they are almost dead. That's the only way to get the most out of these batteries.

This looks very much like the backup battery that I bought for my FZ40, which works fine. One tip: This battery will probably NOT show you remaining charge, so I use it first in a heavy use situation (such as a major trip), and when it runs down, I switch to the Panasonic battery, which does display remaining charge. That way I know for that day how much juice I have left, and I can budget my shots to cover the time until I can re-charge. Hope that's helpful!

I haven't had that problem with this battery set up, but the last ones that I bought which weren't decoded did display that message & wouldn't work with my camera.

Good_Person, Your preference for a "proprietary battery so you can see battery meter on LCD (unlike with the AA batteries)" suggests you haven't used Lumix cameras like our LZ7 and LZ8. The setup menus in these cameras let you choose battery type, so the camera's battery charge indicator is accurate and the camera works well whether you're using disposable alkalines or rechargeable NiMH cells. As far as I know, Canon cameras that use AA cells still don't have this feature. I know for a fact that our PowerShot cameras don't have it. I prefer cameras that can use NiMH AA cells, because AAs are so readily available at reasonable cost, last long, and can be substituted by alkalines if necessary.

I actually sold my batteries along with the camera I used them on, so I can't really say if they stopped charging. However I did have a problem with one of the batteries because the connector prongs bend so easily and I could no longer use it. So, perhaps they are cheaply made?

Oddly, these batteries remain on the list (as of Aug 1 2015) even after I've put a check in the "rechargeable" filter (to stop seeing non-rechargeables). They show up as "rechargeable" even though (based on the answers here) they almost certainly aren't rechargeable.
