Evaluation: 
Conclusion: Excellent little battery
Review: I purchased this battery as a backup for a vacation. It works perfectly. It is indistinguishable from the battery that came with the camera, lasts just as long (one or two days of frequent use), and charges fairly quickly in the standard charger. For folks going on a trip, I recommend taking two batteries for your camera. Just slip the spare into your pocket (not with your loose change or car keys, though) and pop it in when the camera needs it. Charging took a few hours overnight. For European current, my standard charger (not incl) said it takes the local voltage, so I only needed a plug adapter.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: as advertised
Review: works perfect. not much to say. it's the same battery as ships with my camera, so I expected no problems. SD700 IS.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Canon NB-5L Battery Pak
Review: Works well, holds a charge, lasts 2 hours, depending on what you are doing with the camera.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Uber battery
Review: I bought one of these batteries as a spare at the same time I purchased my SD870IS, for a trip to Oregon. Well, I didn't need it because the stock battery took 187 pictures over a 1 week period, finally croaking the last day of my trip. Amazing battery life! I'll give this 5-stars since it's the same battery.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Great Battery, Good for use as a Spare
Review: What can I say? The battery is the exact same as supplied with the camera (Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom), and has a great battery life.
There are, of course, other batteries that are made to imitate this one, sold for much cheaper, but they could damage the camera and void the warranty. Obviously, buying one made by Canon is always a safer option and is more reliable.
Small note: when bringing spare Li-ion batteries (like this one) on airplanes, they are not allowed to be kept in checked baggage - they must be put in your carry-on bags and be put in a "protective case" to avoid having the battery discharge and overheat.
