Rebel XT Batteries - DPChallenge Forums

I have a Canon battery and a Power2000 battery which has a little more juice at 7.4v 900mAh, and both run pretty well.

I want to pick up another battery. Before I go for the Power2000 again, for $18.95 (free shipping as long as I get it up to $25), I wonder if anyone has used any of the more powerful batteries, such as the Sterlingtek, 1100 mAh, which is actually a little cheaper.

Recommendations?

I know what you're gonna say, no way is it that cheap and is legit. I bought a 300D battery from them before, and it was better than the canon battery that came with it.

Anyone here using this for there dRebel XT?

One thing I note is that my Canon and my Power2000 batteries say 7.4 volts, and this one says 7.2. Perhaps that's how they are squeezing a little higher mAh rating?

Hi,

I bought two batteries from These guys which happened to be 1500mA :-O... and the second one is still inside its box!!!. They seem to last forever, more than it takes filling my 1Gb card up!!

I can't say for the XT's battery, but I bought a Sterlingtek battery for the Digital Rebel and have not had a problem for about a year of daily to weekly use.

I just sold it and may buy some batteries for my XT from Sterlingtek.
