This is from memory, so I could be wrong on this.

However, I believe I have a BP-511 and a BP-511A battery for my Canon
Digital Rebel. The 511A has is a newer model of the battery, has a
slightly longer life in the camera, a slightly faster recycle and
recharge time. Nothing you are really going to notice in day to day
use. If you are shooting in extreme conditions, rain forest, sub zero
locations you might notices some difference.

I will have to look later and make sure the one is a 511A.
Everyready also makes a battery that they claim works with the Canon
Digital Rebel. I have not tried the Everyready battery.

I do have a BP-511A battery. As far as normal operation, there is not
much difference between it and the 511. They both work fine. The
directions said it was supposed to last longer, and recycle faster,
etc. I haven't noticed much difference.

I have seen batteries for the Canon Digital Cameras in Walmart, Shopko,
Target, etc made by Everyready for around $40 if you don't want the
Canon Name brand batteries. You can also get the mail order from some
places for less money like someone else mentioned. I would just stay
away from someplace called "Laptops for Less" in Anaheim, Calif that
says they sell batteries. They charge your credit card and never ship
the battery.
