Best Place for Batteries?

[starabo]

I'm in the market for a new battery for my EOS 400D. I was wondering whether anyone had good experiences with 3rd party batteries which online retailers to get them from ...?

Thanks in advance.

Haven't had any experience with 3rd party batteries, haven't heard good things about them on the forums, but friends have used eBay before (don't ask me which shop, sorry don't know) or there's Jessops own brand batteries which are about 1/2 the price of branded batteries.

I have a number of 3rd party batteries some from Ebay and some from 7dayshop all have been fine.

I've also found many third party batteries to be of higher capacity as well Just got two for the D1 (big sods as well!) at £10 each, work brilliantly and saved myself over £120

Have you tried asking wbessada who advertises here?

I'm wating for 2 batteries for my 450D to arrive.
£10 for the pair + P&P from 7dayshop.
A couple of friends recommended them to me.
Higher capacity as well than the overpriced genuine Canon batteries.
