Newer battery LP-E8 works on previous Canon 450D?

I have a Canon 450D/Rebel Xsi, which uses battery LP-E5 (7.4V, 1080mAh). Now needs replacement batteries. I am intrigued by LP-E8, (7.4V, 1500 mAh) which seems to be more powerful. LP-E8 is officially compatible with newest Canon Canon EOS 650D (Rebel T4i).

What’s the difference between LP- E5 and LP-E8? May I simply use LP-E8 on Canon 450D/Rebel Xsi? Any problems of compatibility?

For a deal, any online store with reputation in the US to recommend?

Thank you for your advice!
