Well spotted, Eagle-eyed Mitchell!
Thanks all for the info, and for the link AQ
I've been sat with these 2 batteries in front of me and the more I look the more I find.
The casing is not well defined, t the blue label is a slightly different hue, the fonts are is slightly different, word spacing not the same, the " C E" is thinner on the fake. The list gets longer...
The battery came from a supposed 'genuine Canon' reseller and was in sealed Canon packaging (which I still have) and it all looked the real deal. Seems like I've been well and truely diddled. Communcation drafted to retailler listing all the difference and including comparison pictures, but I don't hold out much hope for any action being taken . I've had the battery a few months - although I've barely used it hence not noticing the difference until today while I was fiddling about with my kit.
Ho hum!
