How do you link paypal and amazon together?

Can someone please tell me why these Rebel T2i dslr batteries are so cheap (see amazon link in description)?

Here is the link to the product I have a question about: http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Replacement-Batteries-Canon-Cleaning/dp/B004CNVFKK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_p_1 It comes with 3 batteries, a charger, and a cleaning cloth for $40 I am wondering why the bundle is so ridiculously cheap. It says on amazon that it is an official canon product, but there is another canon battery listed that is $40 by itself. Here is the link to that battery: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-LP-E8-Battery-Digital-Package/dp/B00393THEK/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1299058376&sr=1-2 I basically want an expert to tell me what the difference is between the batteries found in the bundle and the batteries that come packaged with the T2i. Also, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me the difference between the charger that comes with the bundle and the one that comes with the T2i. It should be noted that I am primarily using my T2i for video. The bundle seems like a great buy but I want to be sure.
Answer:

When it comes to "great deals" on any type of battery, I am always leery. I only buy from trusted reputable vendors (B&H Photo or my local camera shop).

It says that it's made "exclusively for Canon", but that's not the same as being made by Canon. These are cheap chinese copies of the original Canon battery. They won't have the same capacity as the original, and they may not fulfil the same safety standards.

I agree. Quality is never cheap because of the technology involved in making quality products. If any product, regardless of what it is, is that cheap there's something lacking there. I wouldn't trust these batteries - safety included.
