Spare battery for Canon 40D

Can anyone recommend a cheap(ish) spare battery for keeping with my 40D. I really only need it for emergencies when my other battery runs out. Many thanks.

Hi,

I recommend these bad boys

At 6.99 a pop if you can get over the fact they are silver they work really well .. I picked up two and have been shooting with them just like the official cannon ones ..

Just ordered one myself. Handy to have a spare and having used the excellent £19 Ansmann, ( used by both the 30 and 40D) I have not noticed any real difference to the Canon branded one.

I dont know if the Mk2 uses something else
PS: it does...
Ignore that it works for the X0D and 5D i think the Mk 2 ( and 7D) have a different one.
