Copy battery

Dunno about these particular ones but I have several third party batteries for the 350D and 40D. Never been a problem:thumbs:
 
agreed with the above i have copies/thrid party ones and they work, last just has long has the originals..
 
My experience of third party batteries is mixed.
Although they all work after a fashion, I find that some of them do not last nearly as long as original Canon Bp-511.
I have tried Uniross (dependable) Powermart (bought from *bay by another member, one works fine the other is only fit for testing) Blumax (ok so far but not used extensively yet).
I was shooting outside at night (maybe 4deg) for an extended time taking timed exposures and I managed to use all of my camera batteries with the original canon lasting the longest. If I am taking my camera away now I always put the Canon in (fully charged) and take a third party as back up only.
This is my experience using 10d,20d,30d.

Something I forgot to add, how much more is a proper one, is it not worth just getting one you know will be good? Gary

Thanks all for the input .Original's from what i've seen are ,£29- £50..:shrug:

.Generally the batteries i'm looking at will be back-ups for now .Between buying 450D ,Sigma 10-20 ,bag ..,both at Xmas time ,can't justify spending £30 each for batteries ,i'll chance it for now, i think when i go for the grip ,i might go for originals if i can :)
