I have a Canon EOS 450D/XSi, and a friend has an extra battery from a Canon EOS 400D/XTi. Can that battery be used in my camera? More generally, how can I check which Canon EOS/Rebel bodies share the same battery type?

If the battery model are those which EricB wrote, be careful because the physical shape are different (use google images to see them), and probably it won't work.
Check yourself, and choose your model in www.canoneos.com, go the accessories part, and in each accessory they have a compatibility list. I think this is the comparability list for a replacement battery for you camera, and in that isn't the Xti.
Now I see I've luck, because my cameras have 5 year difference and they use the same battery model. I never imagine that canon change so much the batteries between models so close in time.

Not always. Canon EOS/Rebel batteries are only interchangeable within groups of cameras that use the same battery model, and the physical shape can differ too.
For your specific cameras:
- Canon EOS 400D / XTi uses NB-2LH
- Canon EOS 450D / XSi uses LP-E5
So the 400D battery will not work in the 450D.
To check compatibility in general, look up the camera’s official battery model number and compare it with the other body. Canon’s accessories/compatibility pages are a good source, and camera spec sites also list battery types.
Examples of shared Canon battery groups mentioned in the answers:
- LP-E5: 450D/XSi, 500D/T1i, 1000D/XS
- LP-E8: 550D/T2i, 600D/T3i, 650D/T4i, 700D/T5i
- LP-E6: 7D, 60D, 5D Mark II/III
If you’re buying a spare, make sure the battery model matches exactly; capacity (mAh) affects runtime, but not basic compatibility.
