Don't like to take any risks with only one battery,though it seems that it lasts forever...so I need another one for the recently aquired Ds MKIII (used).
I stumbled on this:
http://www.ebay.com …_trksid=p3984.m​1438.l2649 (external link)
....and this:
http://www.ebay.com …Name=ADME:B:WNA​FP:US:1123 (external link)
On the second,the sticker looks exactly the same when compared with the sticker on my "original" battery (ahm....not sure it's original either,though it has a SN and the ex-owner claims to be).
....but...another one,claimed "genuine" and way expensive,looks the same (note the lack of SN here):
http://www.ebay.com …ories&hash=item​4ab0fb2477 (external link)
More,on the box it's a battery pictured without any imprinted sticker,more like the cheaper clones declared as "not made by Canon":
http://www.ebay.com …kid%3D432359831​5017837740 (external link)
What's the catch?Wich is a clone and wich is a fake?
...and,in the end:if I go for a Canon-labeled one,does it behave OK in the charger and camera? (the "chip thing")
Thank you!
Regards,

PS
I read all POTN threads about Sterlingteks and Hähnels and whatever...good info but they're not available where I live.Aside,a visit to the local Canon dealer revealed that I don't have any more kidneys to sell....:rolleyes:

JD,
Was looking through Ebay for batteries for my 60D, and like you Sterlingtek doesn't deliver to me (Australia), even though there are past posts saying they used to.
I ended up going through B&H, who DO deliver internationally and don't charge a fortune for it. My battery, which is well over $100 here was $62, and when I also bought a few SD cards at under 1/3 of the local price it was well worth the $25 delivery charge.

Not a solution I know, but another option. From what I read, Ebay really is a bit hit and miss when it comes to batteries. People tend to leave positive feedback asap so when the battery dies a week or a month later, or doesn't last the distance - feedback doesn't reflect this.
