I left my Canon charger in the states accidentally when leaving on my field research in Japan. Rather than buying the $50 replacement from Canon, I bought a $10 clone from accproshop off ebay. It's worked great. It comes with both a 120/240V wall-wart power supply as well as a 12V car DV lighter plug. The wall-wart makes it larger than the original Canon but the presence of a 12V plug is nice. Shipping was $8 to Japan.
To be on the safe side, I always unplug it after the green light turns on (don't want to fry the batteries). The 511A replacements I got from the same place have also worked out great with my 10D:
