Third party batteries

no problems at all here. I use a 600D and Amazon do Duracell compatible batteries, these have been more reliable than the OEM battery.
 
phottix are pretty good at least as good as my oem nikon batteries hth mike :)
 
Been using them for years without too much of an issue. The worst I have had have been with a couple that haven't been used for around 12 months and when I tried to charge them they were having none of it. However, having said that I have bought plenty at £19 (ish) for a pair and they have performed brilliantly.
 
I was at an event about two months ago and the guy standing next to me went in panic mode. He had a 1D III, it locked up and the battery was extremely hot. Pulled the battery and we both thought there was something wrong as it was so hot you could hardly touch it. He bought it from Fleabay for £22 delivered.

Then the cheeky git asked if I would give him a shot of my battery to see if the issue was camera or battery related....................on yer bike lol
 
I've also used Phottix and treated them the same as my OEM batteries. They are fine. Just don't expect them to last as well in the long term. I've found that they tend to hold their charge a lot less than the originals and will drain very suddenly. You get what you pay for in this case. If you're only shooting casually and occasionally, then they are perfect.
 
Update I have bought two batteries from 7dayshop ,they came within three days fully charged and works perfect with my 7d .
