How good a friend? lol

My batteries on my old 400D still work.

The review of the SL1 on B&H is dated about six years ago. If the friend stored it unused for three or four years, it is entirely possible that the batteries could go stone dead. This happened to a DSLR that my nephew's wife owned. I had a bunch of third party batteries that fit so diagnosing the problem was real easy. But the original battery didn't take a charge at all, because of not being charged for several years.

The SL1 should be a decent camera.  It uses the 18 megapixel sensor, which isn't bad.  My EOS M has the same sensor and I still use it.

The SL1 uses LP-E12 batteries.  There are a bunch of cheap third party E-12s available.
