The SterlingTek batteries are excellent, they can be trusted every bit as well as the OEM batteries and can't be beat for the price.

I have two. They work great, and their 1 year replacement warranty is great (haven't used it, but it's good to have).

I picked up four BP-511's from Sterlingtek about two years ago. Still working just fine...never had a problem and they hold their charge for quite a while.

I have used them for years and they have been wonderful. I have 6 and not a single problem. They seem to last longer than the OEM's as well.

Since the price is so cheap, that means you don't need battery grip ?
