Hi there....just a simple little query....are the cheapo replacement batteries available on the net - suitable for my canon 400d....thought i would just ask before i bought.....thanks....Jackie..
 
Jackie:

I bought NB - 2LH, equivelant batteries on eBay for my 350D over a year ago. I think they were about £12 each (Canon about £40). They have worked every bit as good as the one supplied with the camera and I've had no problems with them. Hope this is of assistance.

:agree: (if they have the ones for your Canon) - otherwise the ones www.7dayshop.com sell are non branded but as good as my original Nikon ones were ... Paul ;)
PS - Unless you know what you're buying I'd avoid the £Bay ones jmo of course
 
I bought a replacement for my 350d from local camera shop.. It's an unnamed/unknown brand and is a lower capacity (only just) than my Canon one, but as the others have said, there's no issue with battery life at all.

I bought my Canon EOS 20D batteries from 7dayshop.com . I think I paid £19.99 for two (special deal) and they work just as well as the original battery.
 
Thanks for the tip....i can't believe the prices....amazing...i trust they last more than a day!! ..worth a try...definitely....not a lot lost if they don't.....jackie

I also bought 4 batteries for my 300D/30D (same battery thank god) from ebay, cost me around £30 quid for the lot inc p&p and they are superb.
 
7 Day shop ones are excellent for a 400D
 
I got a non branded one for my 400D a couple of months ago from the bay (kerso), cheap and very good value for money. :thumbs:
 
Put my ebay batteries through the test today, over 1100 shots at todays wedding and it got through it fine and still showing full.
 
Just to add a note here as nobody's yet mentioned it.

The various batteries for sale will be rated in mAh...milli-amp hours. This is the effective capacity of the battery and roughly determines how many shots you can take.

The various clones for sale have values from 750-2000 so are hugely different in their capacity....ie, 2000mAh models will take almost 3 times more shots than the 750mAh versions.

This is something to consider when deciding on price and value for money.

For what it's worth, I use Sterlingtek one's for both BP511 and NB-2L replacements and they have given no problems.
See the link in the traders forum...excellent value.

Bob
