Best battery?

Poseidon

Please share your opinion on a 3rd party battery for a 1D mark IIn. I have not had the best of luck with "Black Diamond" brand myself. I would like to think that there is a 3rd party cell that is at least as good as the Canon OEM, but I may be wrong in that... The OEM pack is just so EXPENSIVE!!!

Thanks for sharing your opinions!

Sterlingtek. Great batteries, ridculously low prices.

Thanks for the idea, but they don't carry a NP-E3 replacement.

Have you tried eBay ? Ive found the batterys there for the 20/30D to outlast the originals & ive run them side by side for several years.

That has been my experience with my 20D too, but not for my 1D. I have been through several 3rd party batteries in it. I really don't like the idea of spending $120 on a battery that is for sure, but the more I read the more I think it would be the best choice.

I would certainly like more opinions though.

I found a good price on the Delkin replacement, on E-bay. THose come with 2 year warranty's.... Not bad!

I also found an "Energizer" version on Amazon, anyone have opinions on these?
