A quick note of success:

You can successfully charge a 7.2v Li-ion Sony camcorder battery with the Canon CG-580 battery charger supplied with the EOS 20D.

Background: I left my Sony charger at my parents over Christmas while showing them my Katrina video.

Procrastination: I'm flying to Brazil tomorrow and figured I should charge my camcorder. Surprise, the charger isn't there.

Solution: clipped some wires to the + terminal, - terminal, and D terminal on the Canon charger, and pushed the wire ends into the Sony battery in the +, -, and C terminals, respectively.

Result:  camcorder battery all charged and ready!

Comments/questions/warnings welcome.
