Does any one else have issues with this battery? I have 2 bodies, EIGHT batteries to cycle through. Have had them for about a year to a year and a half at the MOST. I now have FOUR batteries that have DIED!!!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE. What is up with that??? The reason why I think that they are dead is b/c when I put them in the charger, they show charge complete in a matter of minutes, then I go to use the battery and it will not work.

Advice and opinions most welcome!!!!

Haven't tried this place so it's not a recommendation but the price seems much nicer: https://www.batterycanada.com/up-bp511.asp

I'm shooting with the Rebel XSi and so far I haven't had any battery issues. Only been shooting with it since April though.

We have two canon batteries and two cheaper branded ones for our 40D's and have no issues with any of them. I'm wondering if the problem lies in the charger but then you probably use both of the chargers you got with the camera so I guess not.

Where do you store them? Somewhere warm and dry?
