Np400 = Bp514?

[Sukoo]

Hi, I read from some where that the NP400 and canon's BP514 battery is actually the same battery. Is this true?
So can I conclude that BP514 is compatible with KM's camera?

No, they are totally different. who told you that?

Yeah, cant be shared among diff brands. Not unless you are a Elect. Engineer.

But there are already some compatible batts readily available in the market. 'KEEP' is especially agressive.

Please also note the voltages and currents may differ slightly for different battery types... we are dealing with very fine precision electronics... any slight difference in the electrical current and voltage will kill your camera... as always, u will void your warranty instantly... no arguments will be entertained by KMSC u can be sure of that...
