I have a Canon EOS 5D camera and our battery charger was stolen. The battery is a Canon E160814 - Battery Pack BP-511A 7.4V.

What kind of charger do I need to buy?

Answer
If you know the model of battery, you can go to a reputable site like amazon.com, adorama.com, or bhphoto.com and do a search. Chances are generally good of finding a compatible charger.

Can an 1800 mah battery be used in conjunction with a 2000 mah?

My Canon 5D Mark II camera battery pack takes 2 batteries. My original battery is rated at 1800 mah. The generic battery I bought to work in conjunction is rated at 2000 mah. Will there be any problems due to the 200 mah difference? I know NOTHING about electricity! Thanks

Answer
The Canon 5D Mark II uses each battery independently and switches between them.
So that said, there shouldn't be an issue.

The real question is do you want to risk your $2000+ SLR on a non-Canon battery?
I would expect that if the battery leaks-catches fire-overheats that Canon would void your warranty.

Also, a single battery on the 5D Mk II allows you to shoot hundreds of frames (video not withstanding)
so do you really need more capacity?
