I have a canon Xt and want to buy another battery Just in case. I want oem since I have never had good luck with cheap aftermarket ones.

Where would you say is the cheapest place to buy but can be trusted with my money?

Thanks
David

    I just ordered two batteries and a DC charger from this company.

    The batteries were $12 ea and the charger was $20. Overall they have a very good review on FM forums. Waiting for mine to show up so I can do some testing.

    oem will cost you liklely 4 times as much. I dunno about you but i would rather have 4 batteries that maybe were not perfect instead of one......ne_nau.gif

    I have gotten batteries from them and have been extremely impressed......better than the oem batteries in fact.
