I wasn't thinking when I bought my 10D yesterday and didn't buy a spare battery. Does it need to be the Canon battery or can is an aftermarket one ok? (I am still just so excited

Also, I haven't heard of any complaints against after market BP511's. 5D and holy trinity of primes. Now the 90mm TS-E TS-E fly bit me. I hate these forums.

One's Energizer, I forget what the other is. Since neither came with a terminal cover, does anyone know of a source for these? Jon

SENster7 Member 148 posts Joined Jul 2003 More info | Jul 22, 2004 09:01 | #7 I have 1 aftermarket battery for my DRebel that I picked up at CompUsa, don't remember the name, but it works fine. I have 3 batteries total, two BP-511s, and the 1 aftermarket. I have 2 BP-511s because I also have a G3 which also uses the BP-511, so I lucked out when I got my DRebel that it uses the BP-511. The reason why I have 3 battieries is because I learned through experience that you can never have enough batteries

It is made by Power2000. I have 2 of them and no problems yet.
