Hi Bros, i have check with East Gear and they have in stock Lithium NP-E3 battery for 1D mk1 and mk2 bodies. Per piece is $89![]()
never seen Li-ION for NP-E3 before..this is certainly new.
Can these be used on 1Ds Mk 1 ? And with the NC-E2 charger?
Dropped by today. Only NiMH battery available. Guy at the shop said there was no such thing as a lithium ion version.

Just got my hand on the Lithium NP-E3, didn't know 100g will make so much different.
Love the custom-made battery charger too, it is just slightly bigger than my nokia phone charger.
If each charge can really last 2000 shots, I think I can only report the battery life a month later![]()
Me too, count me in if there is a GB. By the way, Wai, can give us a pic?
Wai I am interested in this. Since you're getting it custom made would it be cheaper if you do it in larger numbers? Any chance of consolidating a bulk order?
Wai, thanks for sharing!
how much does it cost u to mod the batt and fabricate the charger?
not cheap, about $130 and have not include shipping back and fro
S$130 for battery alone is cheaper than a brand new NP-E3, in my opinion, a bargain. Unless it is USD130. Even then, a fair price given the extra capacity and 'maintenance free' aspect of Li Ion batteries. How much for the charger? Can they sell modded ones, that is, without having to send in our old battery packs, save postage one way.
Do keep us updated on the performance of this Li Ion. TQ
S$130 including charger.
Yes, they sell modded one (the one of the left in the photo), but it is in OEM packaging.
If you want original packaging, I will need to send in your old NP-E3, otherwise where they get the casing from?
BTW, the company is specialized in making Lithium batteries for portable devices, so they have proper equipment and knowledge in this area.
