Gift from my grandma - Need CB-5L Battery Charger

Help! My late Grandma gifted me her old EOS Rebel 300. I have absolutely know idea how to use it. I am very interested in getting into photography. However, the camera wont stay charged long enough to examine. I think I want to order a new charger and new batteries. My questions: How can I find a CB-5L battery charger? Do I HAVE to use that specific charger type/brand? I cant find that exact 5L here on the Canon site or even on Amazon, does that matter? Also, same question applies to my batteries. Must I ONLY use the Canon Li-ion Battery? Can I use a different brand? The last question I have right now, what type of lenses should I look at purchasing for quality professional photos? Or is that even possible with a camera this old? I would love to do maternity, senior photos, engagement photos with eventually wedding. PLEASE give me all of your advice.

It sounds like there was a mix-up with the camera model. The EOS 300D indeed uses the CB-5L and BP-511 battery, while the EOS 300 is a film camera.

That's sweet of your grandma! If you require a CB-5L battery charger, why not turn it into an opportunity for a experience?
