Recommendation for spare battery for Canon EOS 400D

Hi,
As with most of my stuff, to avoid charge going at the wrong time, I'm looking to buy a second battery for my camera. The battery I need is a Canon NB-2LH.

I;m after two recommendations:

1. A reasonable (cheap !!) genuine Canon batter; or
2. A generic make which is reliable (i.e. won't leak/explode)

Cheers.

Re: Recommendation for spare battery for Canon EOS 400D

I don't have a Canon, but I got a Uniross, Olympus equivelent for my E500 and it is exceptionally reliable and lasts for ages on a charge. It was £12.99 but I can't remember where I got it from as the receipt email is on my home PC.

EDIT :

Found the place, had a quick search for product code on www.uniross.com and then a quick google threw up a name I recognised.

Just over £12, can't go wrong. Think they are guaranteed for quite a while too.

I got two from ebay for the battery grip. They are higher capacity and I never use my canon one now unless I run out of juice on them. I think I paid £9.99 each, I will have a look at the name and let you know (at work).

Re: Recommendation for spare battery for Canon EOS 400D

I got my 350D spare battery from 7dayshop

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id=8346

it was 6.50 so bargain price. I think shipping is around 5 pounds so make sure you buy a few other bits and bobs...50p for microfibre cloths which is a bargain (waiting for one of the avforums bargain oracles to correct me and say youi can get them for free now!)

Anyway- hope that helps.

WSB,

Does that battery fit in the canon charger or do you need to buy the charger to go with it ?

Thanks
