Battery Charger Replacement?

[Michael Fanelli]

Darn the luck! I lost the battery charger for my Canon BP-511 battery that came with the DigiRebel. My backup, an old G1 that charges the battery while in the camera, is missing the cord. Now that both of my options are dead in the water, I need to buy yet another charger.

Unfortunately, the only charger I found anywhere at any price is $160 from Canon. That's way too much. I could probably pick up a used G1 for that price and charge batteries with it. Does anyone know of any alternatives? In the meanwhile, my DigiRebel is useless.

Thanks.

http://www.calcellular.com/canon.html comes up as one of the paid for hits on a google search for battery charger bp-511. Prices look great - I don't know how reliable they are.

Thanks for the links! Both have what I'm looking for at a reasonable price. I'm surprised that my Google search didn't come up with anything useful. I'll try it again out of curiosity.

The single battery charger is 55 bucks from B&H, it's the same unit that came with the Rebel, the model number is CB-5L.
