Camera Batteries?

[deebee29]

Anyone have any Canadian websites that they have bought lithium ion camera batteries from?

Recently purchased a Kodak m550, just a cheap P&S. But am looking for one or two lithium ion batteries to have as extras on the trip. I've seen really cheap ones on amazon.ca, but am skeptical, anyone try these, or have any suggestions? The battery model is KLIC 7006. Thanks!

I'd be wary of camera batteries online from anyone but a trusted big-name retailer. I bought some on eBay for what I thought was a good deal and they turned out to be knock-offs. They looked just like the real ones but when they died 6 months later I found out how to tell the real ones from the fakes.

If it's actualy Amazon selling them I'd trust it, but Amazon also acts as a storefront for a number of other resellers and if they weren't from Amazon directly, I'd be concerned.

I have bought camera batteries on Ebay from Aisa Cheep Some them where not quite as good as originals but at less than 1/4 the price i did not mind

you could also try going to your local camera/photo store, they have many types of batteries there and should be able to help you.

I ended up paying a lot more than I could have gotten it from Kodak, but we bought it at the Source, so problem solved! Thanks all!
