Am I correct in assuming the original Canon battery is included along with the replacement battery?

Yes, received an original Canon battery and a replacement that that is for a Canon, but not made by Canon. It has worked fine. The Micro-HDMI A/V Cable I received did not work with the Canon; however, Amazon gave me a credit that more than covered the value of the cable.

Yes. It came with the original battery and a replacement. Great price for everything

I bought two of this battery about one year ago. I am convinced that the batteries I received are true Canon batteries. The two that I ordered came from "Kellards" and that reseller's price is substantially higher than the posted price from this reseller.

Thank you for your interest in our listing! In regards to your inquiry, there is a second aftermarket battery included with the bundle. The camera itself comes packaged with a Canon OEM battery. The spare batteries that we include with our bundles are either by Power2000 or LE. However, the battery grip included is by Xit, another aftermarket brand. Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

I can't answer that directly as it depends on use, I expect. I don't think I've replaced one in over 5 years, but I always keep an extra on hand. I did buy one that was a dud, but think it wasn't a Canon one. Would never again try to get a cheaper one. Not worth the savings. I would recommend getting an extra new one to keep on hand if you're traveling, but sounds like yours are still going strong at this point.

Indeed, Canon battery and charger included. I bought a backup (Wasabi), too. Much cheaper, but also less capacity.

Yes, a separate charger is included. You remove the battery from the camera and insert it into the charger. Procedure is similar to other Canon cameras.

All of the packaging, hologram, etc appeared genuine and the battery has performed as a new Canon battery should, i.e. takes a ton of pictures before needing a recharge. i have no reason to suspect it is not genuine Canon.

Mine came properly packaged, but there are probably a number of vendors selling this battery. If the vendor is Canon you should be OK.

The one I purchased did come in an original Canon box and looked like an original Canon device.

The package includes one original battery. The two other are not from Canon. I use the camera for taking pictures from my family and I didn´t have any problem with the battery authonomy.

I purchased an extra backup battery when I made the original purchase of the camera. The extra battery more than handles regular use of the camera.

Yes it is... Works just as well as the original cannon battery that came with the camera... At least for me.

Yes, battery is included. I just returned from a trip on which I took up to 400 hundred photos (and some movies) each day. I think the battery always lasted all day - as long as I was certain to start with it fully-charged in the morning. However, I always carry a spare battery, and I recommend it, even though the battery life of this camera is much, much better than it was for its predecessors.

Yes, this is the same battery as described on Canon's web site, but at a cheaper cost. That is why I purchased this on Amazon web site. It is the same battery.

I'd love to answer BUT I haven't put mine in the camera yet. I just charged them. By all accounts, They are a good replacement to the one that came with the Canon.

the spare battery that I received with my camera was not a canon original, it was an after market. It last about 1/2 as long as the canon original between charges.
