Selling my original Canon BP 950 battery that came with the camera. I'm currently using 2 BP 970 and have also many extra XL1 batteries from the past, So this is like never used any more.
I charged it only 3 times. It holds full charge and last 5 hours of shooting on a XHA1.
Asking 100 euros. New batteries cost about 170 euros here in E.U. Buyers pay for actual shipping.
Paypal or Bank transfer within E.U.

Sure there are also cheap batteries around . But my guess is that you haven't seen a melt down on your camera yet. I can tell you it is not a pretty sight. My friend had a battery from china (ebay) and his 3000 euros camera when in for repair after it melt down inside the battery compartment. The fake batteris tend to get stuck in the compartment too. And with the bp 970 , there is no room at all to move, so when that gets stuck, you have a handful trying to get it out.
Sometimes you are lucky but I"m not willing to risk my 3000 euro camera for anything less. If anything happens, you are not covered.
Spend the extra money and you can sleep at night or even during a shoot.It is a great investment. The original batteries last a long time, I still have some batteries that are from an XL1 and that is proof that they last a long time .
