    Folks,

    I need someone to pick up a spare battery for a 40D for me in town which I need to get my hands on before wed morning at 5am. I have just had another heart attack involving access to electricity on my holidays and it looks like I might have five days of no charging of camera battery. So I need a spare. Must be BP-511A which I think is the battery that came with the camera originally.

    Anyone able to help?

    thanks in advance.

    I live/work in the city so if you tell me where you want me to get it I can grab it for you. I can't remember where you're based but I think I remember it being outside of Dublin???

    I'll guess you are flying out from Dublin airport? PM me and we'll see if we can sort something out!

    I work at Dublin Airport but the flight out is at 7am on Wed morning. I'm in Swords.

    I'm assuming Conns will have one - I will call in the morning and confirm and pay via credit card over the phone.

    My problem is I can't get into the city centre for close of business at the moment. I only discovered I'd a problem when I went seeing what adaptor I was going to need to bring with me and discovered the magic words "not on grid" "from generator" for the second part of the trip. CF cards I can get comparatively easily (if expensively) so storage is not the biggest problem really.

    If your back by Friday I have two BP-511A batteries you could borrow

    EDIT: or you could borrow just the one for a longer

    I'm not going to be back until 2 December.

    Sand is a big huge risk again on this occasion.
