Canon Powershot SX40 uses NB-10L Lithium batteries just like Canon SX50 does. You only get one battery with the camera so It's a good idea to buy one or two extra batteries to use when you are going on trip or for a event like party. Fully charge NB-10L battery can take over 200 photos but you can't be sure about rechargeable batteries. Sometimes these batteries seems to have their own mind and will. So it's always extra battery or two can come handy. Good news is these NB-10L batteries are cheap. You can get one for less than 10 USD. Canon NB-10L Batteries are expensive. One would cost around $40 but you don't need Canon batteries as extra. Other brands work fine for this.
Something you need to know about Lithium batteries is you need to "train" brand new batteries. You might feel in first couple of times these batteries loose power fast or that you can't take enough photos with it. It might be like this in first couple of times you charge the battery and then it will work as normal. Also You must remember the correct time frame battery takes to fully charge. In a standard charger it might take 14 hours to fully change a 750 mAH battery. Check the Camera manual for more information. Also check battery cover to find the capacity of your NB-10L Lithium batteries.
Having 2 chargers can be a big advantage. Specially if you need all your batteries to be ready in morning in middle of a trip. It's not expensive at all. NB-10L battery charger with 2 batteries can be bought at Amazon for less than $20. This combo package along enough for you since you will get one battery and charger along with your Canon SX40 camera.
I checked Amazon and found this NB-10L battery charger pack is really a good one for it's price. You get 2 1200mAH NB-10L batteries, Travel Charger, Micro Fiber Cleaning Cloth and a Deluxe Universal 5" LCD Screen Protector. All these for just $18.
This pack is good for several Canon camera models like Canon SX50, Canon SX40, PowerShot G15 and Canon G1X cameras. You won't find a cheaper or better deal than this for a this kind of NB-10L battery and charger combo.
