My bro's Canon s10 battery is running a little low on juice.. What are my options as far as replacement goes?

This is a very good price but these guys want $12 to ship it :mad: Are there any options to get a similar price locally in Toronto? I searched tigerdirect and SourceCC already, no luck.
Should I take my chances with ebay? What sort of a risk factor am I looking at?

Sterlingtek.
I've ordered batteries from them before, and their shipping rate is under $10. To make it worthwhile, I ordered a few batteries, and a charger, along with some small items they had on clearance.
The batteries are fantastic, and cost a fraction of the OEM price. Well worth it. I think they also sell via ebay.

So will this really have 20% greater battery life in it?
3.6Volt 1500mAh

compared to this:
Li-Ion 3.6 V, 1200 mAh

If so, definitely worth it.

In my experience, the Sterlingtek batteries I have are supposed to provide 35% more power than the OEM version. I've not done any testing, but I have noticed that the Sterlingtek ones are just as good as the Canon ones, again, for a fraction of the price.
I'm not sure I'd believe all their marketing, but many photographers use these batteries, and they work great. Their customer service is pretty good too, though I haven't ordered from them since last year.

Ditto! I got Sterlingtek batteries for my SD400 and the prices are impossible to beat for the power they put out. Higher mAh than OEM and higher than just about any other replacement battery available. I got 2 x NB4L 900mAh (vs. Canon's 760mAh) for about $20 + reasonable shipping.

I am looking for a camcorder battery. But, I also wanted to order a battery for my sister's new canon sd300. I would prefer to deal in Canada. If anyone has any other suggestions it would be appreciated.
I found this CDN dealer via ebay. http://www.power-battery.ca/about.htm
EDIT : Unfortunately, Sterling doesn't carry my Camcorder battery. I would like to deal with one company. I also wanted to buy a battery (the slim 1100 one) for my Axim x50v to spread out the cost.

Again, I got my NB-4L which is the same for your SD300 for cheapfrom sterlingtek the one in that link you posted isn't even as powerful as the Canon original! note the canon's are 760mAh and that link shows it's 730mAh. Sterlingtek has 900mAh batteries. actually 2 for $24.99.
