1800mah battery for 20d

xEQ · Apr 6, 2005

I'm looking for a new battery for my 20d was just wondering if anyone has tried the 1800mah batteries from http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7505805544&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

These are the largest I've found but I was wondering if it's for real? all the others I've seen are 1500mah and below, can anyone comment on these batteries.

Thanks.

I bought two of these ... it's a sweet deal. They hold a charge longer than the Canon betteries. The question is, what is their lifespan. Well, at this price ... who cares? Even if the lifespan is half that of a genuine Canon one (which I doubt), you still win because they's half the cost.

I have used the 1800mah battery from SterlingTek ( I think thats the name) from E-bay for about $15.00. Initially it didnt start the camera but that might have been operator error!! Working fine ever since; about 5 weeks and charges and works fine...

do you guys know if these guys give you the lids for the batteries??

Are you referring to the bottom case that comes with the Canon battery to clamp on to tell if its charged or not.. no just the battery from Sterling Tek.. and probably just the battery from all aftermarket mfgs...

No cover, but they each come in a little plastic case ... I prefer the cases over the cover, myself.

I've just emailed them I want to know how long it will take to send to Australia.

I'm still waiting for my 2gig CF, I have this badd feeling these guys are going to keep my money =[ It has taken them a week to send me an email saying they've sent it, and thats only after I emailed to remind the guy!!

They are cheaper if you order them from their Yahoo store. It is the same people but they don't have to pay ebay so they sell the for about $2.00 cheaper each.

I ordered two Monday night and they will be here tomorrow (Thursday).

No no I'm not talking about these guys I'm talking about another sale I have on ebay.

Came sooner than I thought they would. I must say, Sterlingtec.com gave extremely fast service sending these out. I ordered them Monday night, they shipped them tuesday and I received them on Wednesday. I have both of them charged and they are working pine in my 20D.

Just thought I would share my experience with Sterlingtec.com,

My batteries from sterlintek have been great and they did come with covers. Been using them for 2 yrs with no problems.

but it doesn't say that they are 1800mah on the battery or anywhere for that matter. I bought mine from ebay, you guys think that these batteries might not be 1800mah?

tbottoni · Apr 20, 2005

Is there some way to measure them?

I would like to order these, but am worried about the quality

on those third party batteries. I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. I use the sterlingtek batteries with no problem at all. I have had very little luck with the ebay batteries. They usually die in a few months.
