Canon 5d users, help please

I'm trying to buy a replacement charger for my Canon 5d (Mark 1) as I seem to have left mine somewhere between my house and Ullapool and it's just too far to go looking for it!

However, I'm a little confused as I'm not sure if I need the Canon Battery Charger CB-5L for BP511 Battery. It looks like the right one, but I can't find proof anywhere as the battery I believe I need for the 5D is the Canon BP-511A.

I think that the BP-511A means that it's a higher power version than the BP-511, but I can't be sure.

Would somebody be kind enough to confirm this please I would check, but I'm not at home.

My 5D charger is the CB-5L. The charger for my Mk II is completely different, which is irritating.

Thanks, I've also found another forum that gave me the details about the two battery types.

Charger for my 5D mark 1 and the battery is the same as for my 40D which is quite handy!
