Spare Battery

[Barrowness]

Hi All

I am looking to get a spare battery for my camera. I have the 5D Mark II and I found THIS (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1800mAh-LP-E6-LPE6-Battery-for-Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-II_W0QQitemZ350204298241QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Phot ography_CamcorderAccess_RL?hash=item5189cd8401&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50)
My only concern is that it says the battery is only compatible with the non OEM battery charger - well I can't find anywhere if mine is non OEM - I don't even know what it means :o

Help!

PS - How do you get your links to be text instead of the big link?

TIA

not sure on the battery but to get your link as text... first write what you want, highlight it and click the link button, then add the Url and click ok :top:

You might find it worthwhile getting a battery grip. Holds 2 batteries and gives loads more stability. The non-canon ones can be just as good at a fraction of the price :top:

I have thought about this Marvin but it adds too much extra weight for me - I am only a little thing with small hands - lol!!

BB Try this ebay shop, (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/digital-camera-batteries&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SELLERID) contact the chap he is very very helpful, I bought 2 from him for my 300D and he asked if I had the OEM charger and sent the right ones that work with the battery level and charging light.
