Eastgear. At 1500mAH capacity ( instead of the original 1100 ) at $29, you get more mileage. Megapower is popular too, but the one I got has only 1250mAH at $35, so not quite as good a deal as the Eastgear stuff. Both have worked fine since I got them.

Eastgear also sells chargers. Their double chargers can charge 2 batteries simultaneously, and take different "adaptor plates" to allow charging of different TYPES/BRANDS of batteries. Looks interesting. At around 90+, it's a good deal. Normal 3rd party single chargers from AP is around $60-80 if I'm not mistaken. Check www.eastgear.com

Note : I'm not affiliated with Eastgear, but I've bought stuff from them and am happy with their service and attitude. They seem like a group of friendly and sincere people going into business for themselves, and deserve our support.

You get much more shots out of EastGear batteries per charge as compared to some other brands I had used, of which I shall not mention any brand names. I am also in no way associated with EastGear but I think that their batteries are certainly value for $$$$$$$.
