I talked to Steve on Tuesday morning and asked him why his website still shows the Canon battery available, and why he is trying to sell me a replacement battery and charger. He dodged the question by telling me that the Canon batteries that were sold separately from the camera have been overheating and leaking acid. Canon has not determined the cause and that there isn't any batteries shipping soon.
At first I canceled my order, but Steve was persistent and all I could think about was having a battery run out while in the field, and that a back up even an off brand would be okay...
Perhaps CANON would like to know that it's lithium camara batteries can't be sold because they "leak acid" !
