    Karen,

    Have a read of this thread: Batteries for 1dmkiii ......advice please

    The 1D4 uses the same battery as the 1D3 so the same should apply, there are various batteries tested by the various members in the thread I think and conclusions were arrived at, I just can't remember what they were.

    Re: Battery

    Further to original post .............. have not had to use the spare cheapo so far, but every time I take it out of the bag and check the charge level, it has lost all charge ... so give it a full re-charge again .............. stick it back in bag ..... and it's ground hog day again ............... not sure I would trust it in a desperate for back up situation .........

    Re: Battery

    Ive ordered one but Im already getting 1000 plus out of the battery, plus my backup camera is hitting the same. A note on the 7 dayshop site says give it a full charge. I would imagine that there has been a bad batch and 7dayshop seem reasonable about returns.

    Re: Battery

    I hope it was a bad batch from 7 day shop as my relacement, sometime ago also died and was replaced by them no fuss.
    I have no back up now, might try later.
    I also wanted to be 3rd Mark in a row to reply.

    I think a wise move, keep original.... I have 4 but I was lucky... When my Mark 3 was exchanged (twice) I kept the batteries and no one ever said anything

    I bought one from 7dayshop for £10.99 and it failed to charge. Not really worth sending back
