Cheap xm2 battery link found

Dominic Valle · January 5th, 2003, 12:31 PM

I bought a extra capacity battery off of Ebay, and it works excellent. It is for my GL1. It lasts a long time. only 50 dollars shipped

Jim Yang · January 29th, 2003, 08:34 AM

Will those BP941 batteries work fine in the North American GL2?

Dirk Goris · January 29th, 2003, 09:40 AM

for sure!!!!

Jim Yang · January 29th, 2003, 02:49 PM

Good. I already ordered two of them :)

Bob Benkosky · May 6th, 2003, 06:24 PM

That place looks sold out of everything, damn.

Ben Lynn · May 6th, 2003, 08:40 PM

Thanks for the link that's an unbelievable price!

I just placed an order for 2 941's at $43.25 each and saved some major bucks.

Good eye.

Incredible prices are right. I check the website and the batteries mentioned above are sold out.

Tom -

What batts. did you buy? I need to get some of those.

I got two of the standard batteries and they are working just fine. I sent Sabah and email to ask about future availability of the 5500mAh and they said they expected new batteries this week.

I bought two of the same batteries, 5500mAh LIon BP-945 replacements that work GREAT, for only $63 flat including shipping from "BatteryMegasource.com" through their eBay store:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=15072. They were only $27 USD each plus $9 shipping for the two of them.

I plan on buying a few more. I've haven't even used up the first charge on the first battery yet, even after many hours of LCD screen use.

Heck with Canon -- especially when I can get FIVE of these more powerful replacements for the price of one Canon BP-945.

OEM batteries are an annuity.

I have heard that it is good to charge your battery for 24 hours before it's first use. Is this true?

Thanks for the post, I'm definately going to check out a couple of these.

Ryan Krga · May 9th, 2003, 06:34 AM

I forgot to post this before. This is the same place I purchased my Power 2000 battery from for my ZR40. Great service, great packaging, and low prices.

I may just pick up this Lemnar, it's says the battery life is up to 7 1/2 hours, is this true?

Brendan Getchel · May 9th, 2003, 10:39 AM

"Batterybank.com" is a total scam!

$84 for the exact same battery that I paid $27 for?!

I'd rather buy the Canon OEM batter for another $20. That's hardly a savings.

Bob Benkosky · May 9th, 2003, 11:59 PM

Well, hopefully they get some stock in soon.

Used my 945 battery at a wedding for the first time. Totally amazing. I used the GL2 LCD display during the wedding and reception. The whole affair lasted about 6 hours. When I got home I had used up only half the battery. This battery is 5500 or greater, and sorry I forgot where I bought it. Either Batterybarn or BHvideo.
