5D Batteries!

Been looking at another BP 511A battery for my camera, problem is a genuine Canon one is £54.99 from Warehouse Express Shocked they also have 2 equivalents costing £29.99 and £26.99 respective.

After a further search I found THIS from picstop costing £9.90 another supposed equivalent.

My question is are these as good as the original Canon one and all I'm paying for really is the name or is there power shortages ie not as powerful.

All claim to be around the 1400mAh mark, so what is the difference?

any help much appreciated

I have 4 of the batteries from 7day shop. Seem to be fine and dont dump their charge after 10 photo's

Only probably i had was one set are a bit of a sod to get out of the grip. The later pair i got are fine though.

On the 10d (incidentially these also fit the 10, 20 and 30d) camera. with the 100-400l i managed over 1200 shots (shooting raw only)

Im tempted to get some more for the price though.
