Car Charger for EOS 20D

[CriPPle]

Hi,
I was wandering if anyone knows if there is a Car Charger available the EOS 20D and where I might be able to purchase one from?

Thanks in advance

More than likely I think.
If you're looking for official Canon, then I'm not too sure, but if you don't mind third party, then I would suggest eBay.
You need a car charger for the BP-511a (I think it's the a which signifies the higher rated), rather than a specific one for the 20D.
I've seen one for my 350D (the NB-2LH), so I would assume that there is one for your battery too.

I am not too sure why anyone would need a car charger though as third party batteries are so cheap I would have thought that buying extra batteries would have been a wiser choice.??

If I am away for any length of time I take the normal charger and use that in the evenings...obviously if you are going camping for a week then your needs will be different.

What about an invertor? Much more flexible than just buying a different car charger for each item.

12v DC to 150w/300w/600w mains (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36316&doy=8m8) from £19.99 @ Maplins

I bought the 150w version a couple of years ago, and still use it loads from charging up my mobile, batteries & my laptop.

Its not cheap at about 80 quid, but it looks useful to me ! As it can charge 2 batteries at a time !
