For all of you guys and gals in the UK, I have recently purchased brand new batteries and chargers for my old Canon EOS 300D, 350D, and G7 from DuracellDirect.
DuracellDirect is operated by the Duracell licensee, PSA Parts Ltd.
In a nutshell, the prices and batteries are great and much cheaper than the so-called “Duracell” store on Amazon.
The Black Friday deal of three for two is long gone, but it’s now buy one, get one half price.
Shipping is free (super-fast dispatch with DHL Express) to anywhere in the UK, including remote locations.
Search by camera make and model or your battery part number. Their “new” part numbers can be confusing, and some of their different part numbers cover the same OEM battery!
Batteries are new, packaging is new, very few images online!
Over the past 20 years or so, the mAh rating for many of these Li-Ion (lithium-ion) batteries has increased due to manufacturing and technological advancements.
There is no need to deep-cycle new Li-Ion batteries. I charge to full and then an extra hour for the first time. Then a half dozen or so regular charges, when low, will bring them up to speed.
Cold temperatures are rough on batteries; keep and charge them somewhere warm.

When traveling by air, it’s good practice to cover the contacts of your carry-on Li-Ion batteries with electrical tape.
Some airlines can be "funny." lol
