Need to borrow NP-E3 battery

[Terence]

Hi guys,

Just purchased my 1Dmk2 from a US retailer for pickup this weekend. I have ordered a couple of OEM batteries but will not arrive before July. Was wondering if anyone can loan me a battery to tie me over from Jun 19-25 when I'm shooting in the US.

Would appreciate any help, thanks!

Congrats.

Think your 1 battery should last you a long time, MK II CMOS is very energy efficient... I know ppl that uses their for days before the battery show any warning.

Only trouble is that I will have about 5 hours from the time I receive the camera till the time I need to use it. Not sure if its enough time to charge the battery which comes with the cam. Read a few recommendations that its good to refresh the new battery after the first full charge. Might take a while.
