I am currently on the island and forgot my battery charger for the Canon Digital Rebel. Anybody on the island i can borrow it from? I am at Sand Dollar A1, sitting in the Chat n' Browse, Michael knows about it, too.
Any help appreciated.

I would troll around all the Photo shops at the resorts and ask if they can help. Capn Dons, Buddy etc etc. Keep your eye out when at the bars/restaraunts for someone with the same camera. etc.

The stand-alone charger is the CB-2LW and weighs only 68 grams or 2.4oz, so you could ask if a BT'r coming out could get you one. Here is compatible one for $13.5 http://www.camcorder-batteries.us/multi-chargers/canon-cb-2lw.htm or the pukka one for $39.95

Other than I would check the voltages and make a charger from a universal power supply but only 1/2 charge the battery as you would not be able to apply power management like the pukka charger.

Good luck.

For the last option charge the battery out of the camera so the worst scenario is the battery only is at risk.
