 Nice product, but poor plastic in retention tabs May 14, 2008
I have had my CPM-E3 8 AA cell battery tray for about 2 years or more now and tonight just noticed one battery retention tab was broken and upon further inspection, two more are ready to break as well. This does not affect the performance of the pack with inserted into the case, but causes an inconvenience as batteries simply fall out if you turn the tray over. I always used the hole on the bottom to push a battery out with my finger--so it must be poor quality plasic--or not enough plastic on these inner tabs. The four on the outside appear to be a bit thicker. I suspect an injection mold issue and Canon should correct this. On the other hand, once inserted in the case, I have no problems. I am not sure I would buy another as I don't shoot enough flash to warrant another tray, and this one still works fine with broken tabs. If the plastic was more robust, I'd give this part 5 stars.
 Canon CPM-E3 Battery Magazine April 29, 2008
I use the Canon CPM-E3 battery pack with my Canon 580EX Flash. I agree about the battery tabs on the Canon CPM-E3 Magazine... so far I have been lucky and did not have to reload the batteries into the magazine under a stressful situation. I have a secondary magazine with the batteries already loaded. I take "Great Care" when removing or replacing the batteries and I do NOT do it under stressful conditions. Two loaded magazines is more then adequate for my shooting style to date.
If the magazine was constructed with stronger materials I would have given it a 5 star rating. Shame on Canon again with using a flimsy material in thier product line.

"The tabs that hold the batteries are VERY, VERY weak and will snap off very easily; so be very gentle when inserting and removing batteries."
I ditto this. For thirty-two bucks, Cannon should make a more stable magazine. Those using these magazines are probably event photographers who use one or more of these gadgets on a regular basis. I'm very careful with my equipment, but it didn't take much for the little tabs to snap off.
 Plastic guides February 8, 2008
Very good product. My lack of understanding of how to take the batteries out broke one of the plastic guides. So if you buy one of these you are probably replacing one you broke. Use the hole on the back and push the batteries out one at a time. If no you will break it.
Tabs are easily breakable. September 21, 2007

I am just rating the magazine and not the CPM-E3. The tabs that hold the batteries are VERY, VERY weak and will snap off very easily; so be very gentle when inserting and removing batteries. It will still work with broken tabs once you close it into the CPM-E3 but the batteries will not be held in place prior to closing. You would have to hold it in your hand and the case will align the batteries in place.
