I have a random quick question.
i have a 40D coming via fed ex tomorrow morning and literally within an hour or so after its arrival, I have a shoot.

does anyone know if I could use my fully charged 20D battery on my new 40D? Or are they totally diff batteries??

I've done a search on google, and there is a generic one available as a 40D replacement, however it says it also fits the 20D. This may be of use, but I'm not 100% convinved.

awesome thanks guys.

I'm just going to charge up my 20D battery tonight, and swap it out when my 40D arrives and go shoot

Permanent ban

The battery for the 40d charges extremely fast, you should be able to get it going right before you leave.

I suck at Photoshop.

The 40D battery is a BP511A 1350Mah battery and the 20D has the BP511 1100Mah. They're both interchangeable the one just lasts longer.
