I need to get myself some more batteries for my Nikon Coolpix 8700. I have purchased off-brand batteries on ebay in the past and they wouldn't hold a charge. Nikon's EN-EN1 batteries are excellent, but relatively expensive.
Does anybody know where to get decent batteries at an affordable price?

After5pm.net usually has a 2 for 1 deal and free shipping...try them. I've ordered 4 batteries from there and they work even better than my original Canon ones. :0)

Thanks for the link. They are sold out of the 2-for-1 battery I need right now, but hopefully they will be in stock soon.

I haven't checked if they stock batteries you're looking for but //www.power101.com had the cheapest prices i've seen and the product I got worked perfectly!

WOW, are you sure it works well? The battery I want is only $1.75 on here. That's incredible! I think I'll buy a dozen!

I bought a 300D battery about a year ago from them and it still works fine, better than the canon one infact!

| Are you sure the batteries you bought on ebay have the same charge specifications as the normal battery? I usually have to hunt through the sellers before I find someone who does the batteries with the same high capacity. |

I looked for one that specified compatible with the 20D and didn't see it mentioned.
I'm still getting used to the new camera - how would I know if the battery listed would work with my camera? What do I need to look for in the specs?
Oh, and would I be able to charge the non-Canon battery in my Canon charger?

| I purchase batteries for my 20D from this company Batteries and was quite pleased. The batteries I got had more oomph that the initial batteries I got with the camera, and I certainly could not complain about the price. |

I think by far the best place to go is ebay. I got 2 batteries for my Canon Digital Rebel for $14. They were just fine. I've bought batteries for other digital cameras there before as well.
