Any reliable 3rd party camera batteries out there?

I'd appreciate any time proven feedback on 3rd party camera batteries since we want to carry 2nd batteries for our 5 consumer dslr cameras.

I have bought one or two in the past but they didn't last more than 6 months.

Any good experiences with other brands?

7dayshop for Canon 30D, 100% perfect, last longer the canons and £10 for 2 last time I bought.

The Phottix ones from Etefore on Ebay are good - I've used them in several different brands of camera without problem...

Another vote for 7dayshop. I used them in my old 1DMk2 and they were every bit as good as the Canon original ones at a tenth of the price.

ebay ones, no problems at all

Had 7dayshop ones as spares for my D70 since the D70s was released (the "new" D70s made the older D70's price drop to within my budget).

Totally agree with this I have 3 for my 350D and they are great
