Charging 3rd party batteries

[Vegas Poboy]

Currently I'm using Big ED & two Canon Bp511 batteries, I'm looking to purchase the Lenmar 511's & would like to know if they can be used with the Canon charger CB5L? If anyone is using this brand please let me know your thoughts & experience.
Thanks

I have "third party" BP511-ish batteries from four manufacturers.. and all of them charge just fine in the canon charger. :)

Thanks Alot for the info, Time to put another order into B&H

Too bad their not a public stock I would buy shares, to get some of my money back :P

Yeah.. the third parties work well if you gt a decent name brand especialy..

I'm partial to these myself..

But other than the $9.00 ebay specials I've yet to hear a bad thing about any of them.

I have used www.terascout.com BP511 model batteries with no issues whatsoever. Saved some money and they actually are performing better then my canon batteries (probobly because they are new)
