A quick question. Can the NP-E2 battery be used safely in a 1D MK II ?

Don't think so. Designed for EOS-1v & EOS-3 film cameras. The NP-E3 has a rated capacity of 1,650mAh, higher than the previous NP-E2. If your NP-E3 won't hold a charge, first try 'reconditioning' it with the charger, might take a few cycles to reform.
These batteries are Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) and suffer the 'memory effect' if not fully discharged before recharging a few times.
If that doesn't work and we assume it's life expired, Mexxtronics do a generic equivalent for about £30.

I use the 7dayshop batteries if you are looking for spares.

Yeah. Looks good. At that price I might gamble on a spare for myself!

These look ok with a 2 year warranty.
