Cheaper batteries for my Canon G3?

[mttmrphy]

I'm very sorry if this was posted already. I need more batteries for my G3. The shops around my home sell them for around $60 but I see them on ebay for $10.

Has anyone purchased one of these "cheaper" batteries and how well did they work.

I've always been a big believer of "You get what you pay for" but if I can save $50 on the same product then I will.

I have not purchased a second battery for my G3 ... lucky me my Canon mini DV uses the same battery

but on cell phones I have had bad luck going the "Cheap" route ...

just my 2 cents worth ........

Hi
I bought 2 batteries for my s400 from www.sterlingtek.com. Price was great but shipping to Canada was about 10 days. i would imagine they would have something for your camera.

OK I just bought 2 batteries for a grand total of $18.95 + S/H. I still can't understand the $50 difference from the retail price. Oh well... I hope they work.

keep us informed when you try them out
I know I'd like to know if I could save $50 on a couple of batteries
thats like 3 for the price of one

Hope they work!

Thanks... I posted this in a Canon forum also and not 30 minutes after buying them someone posted this:

try sterlingtek

CANON BP511 EQUIVALENT BATTERY
WITH 18% MORE POWER
1300 mAH

$11.99

I've bought batteries and chargers from them. Very prompt delivery.

The ones I bought were only 1100 mAH. I'm sure with two I'll be fine but I wonder if that extra juice really makes a difference.

I will be sure to follow up on this... The guy at the battery store laughed at me when I told him the price of the ebay batteries.
