Question 1

Is it useful for T5i ?

Accepted Answer

I have it for my T2i and it has lasted for about 2 years now so if you are able to use it for the T5i I would say get it. I do not think the batteries have changed through the different models. Here is something I found on the following site: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-Rebel-T5i.aspx"The Canon T5i uses the same battery as the T4i, T3i and T2i - the small 1120mAh/7.2VDC Lithium Ion Canon LP-E8 Battery Pack. Canon rates the LP-E8 + T4i combination for up to 550 (440 w/ flash) shots. Battery life of course varies greatly with temperature, flash use Live View use, etc. The T5i tracks 4 levels of battery charge on the rear LCD. "Hope it helps

According to the Canon website, the T5i uses the LP-E8 battery. So yes, it is compatible.http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/eos-rebel-t5i-body

Question 4

Why is this battery $50 bucks as opposed to the other batteries which are $12?

Accepted Answer

Very likely because they are either third party batteries (which I do no recommend), or fakes (which can be hard to spot and need to be avoided).  I recommend sticking to Canon for batteries, as they will for sure hold up.  Its not that a third party battery can't also hold up, it's just more likely to prematurely degrade, and then you are replacing it much sooner than the Canon brand (I have had Canon batteries last several years, and third party no longer hold charge after 6 months).  As long as you understand and accept the risk then it is personal choice.  But again, I recommend only Canon brand batteries.

I also recommend to get your batteries from sources other than Amazon or other marketplace type sellers, as they are frequently sent fakes from the third party sellers that send them stock.  Places like BnH, Best Buy, Adorama, Canon direct, all get their stock straight from the source.  If you do get one from Amazon or other marketplace sellers, go to Canon's site and read up on how to spot a fake.  Fakes not only will stop functioning prematurely, they also have other risk like catching fire or damaging your camera.
