Replacement BP511s for less

[CyberDyneSystems]

I have two of these;

Oddly when I bought mine it did not have the warning about not working in the D60,.. and I use two in both the 10D and the BG ed3 grip for the 10D. Can't understand what they mean by "Does not fit the Canon EOS D60"

Half the price of the Canon battery and lasts longer.

Also I grabbed the Lenmar Mach 1 charger for them. At $60.00 it charges a BP 511 in about 40 minutes.

Interesting. I got one Canon BP511 with my D60, and then I purchased a Lenmar replacement for BP511, and it fits and works fine. In fact, I think it has a slightly bigger amp-hour rating than the real one and I use it more than the real one.

Canon is dark gray, and the Lenmar thing is silver.

Anyone else have experience with these?

I bought some cheap clones on ebay that claimed to have 1200 mah.

However, they only have about half the performance of the original BP511 - so you can't be sure you'll get better results.
