Try Euro Batteries - I got my Olympus battery from here (not original) and the price is amazing - it has also been just as good (sometime's out performing) my original battery.

scroll down - think it's the canon BP-511 battery you need?
Hope it's the right one ;)

I doubt you'll do much better than the Sterlingteks sold by Wbessada on this forum.....see his adverts. Excellent servic at a very competative price.

I got my spare 40D ones from a seller on Ebay
from this seller here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Phottix-Battery-for-Canon-BP-511A-30D-40D-5D-BG-E2_W0QQitemZ170221313349QQihZ007QQcategoryZ40975QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
Honestly you get them to your door quick and they are 1600 mAh .
I can not flatten mine they last ages and ages.
And they are only £3.20 for the pair + the postage from Hong Kong which is £6.00 to the UK.
Do not be put off by the cheap price. I am proof that these are spot on.
I use them in pairs in my grip.
I hope this helps

Thanks Steve for the link. Much appreciated.
Now a question about your website and the piccies on them. Have U used any specific software to display them like jAlbum etc?

Hmm, there are a few HK sellers you could choose besides that one (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=63324), they've not quite been hitting the mark lately, not for me anyway.

Thanks :thumbs::thumbs: - just ordered a pair, and a remote shutter release for £6.49 !!
At that price well worth a try and not worth bothering with imports.
I should have mentioned, with 7dayshop, if you are a Quidco member you can get 2% cash back on your purchases. Not a big deal on a £20 order but every little helps....

Delivery will probably take 7-10 days, so don't panic if your stuff does not arrive within the week.
got a set for 400D from wbessada - work just like the real thing - no problem with duration either :thumbs:
