Wasabi Power Canon LP-E19 Battery for Canon EOS R3, EOS-1D Mark III, EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1D X, EOS-1D X Mark II, EOS-1D X Mark III

Wasabi Power Canon LP-E19 Battery for Canon I've been using Wasabi batteries in all 7 of my Canon cameras for over a decade and never had an issue with any of them and they all still perform well. This battery is being used in a 1DXII and is the first time I've used this style as my other batteries have primarily been LP-E6NH style. After putting this battery through the paces for the last few weeks taking over 20,000 pictures at soccer games, it's given me just as many shots or more as my Canon batteries. I've also seen no reduction in fps. I average about 4000 pictures in a 1.5 hour match and I review many of the shots in camera. I was able to use just this one battery for the entire match with plenty of juice to spare. The battery fit perfectly into the camera with no signs of over tightness before or after use and sealed well. I noticed no difference between it and my Canon batteries. The battery cap pops on and off easily and remains tight on the end while in my camera bag. The cap also works well on my Canon batteries as the originals no longer stay on. I wish I could find replacement caps. The battery fits into the 1DXII's charger with no issues exactly as the Canon version does. It charges quickly and accurately displays the % while charging. To maximize a battery's lifespan, I charge all my lithium ion batteries to about 80% when it's not an all day event. Being charged to only 80%, the Wasabi battery still had over 15% left at the end of the match, same as my Canon batteries typically do. I store my batteries between use at about 40% then charge them to 80% just before use as mentioned above. I am very happy with this purchase and it's met all of my expectations and past experiences I've had with this brand over the last 10+ years. I spent a great deal of time researching aftermarket batteries before purchasing this brand. And after taking over 1 million clicks during the last 10 years I am very happy with Wasabi's performance. I highly recommend them based on my experiences.

Do you want a Cadillac dressed up as a Honda? How about a fancy dinner at Taco Bell prices? Well then, you're in luck and this is your battery! This things runs like a champ. I can pump out 3K-6K pictures out of my 1DX Mark III and still have enough gas in the tank to take the old lady out for a night on the town. And when you go to charge this bad boy up, don't even worry about the second light on your Canon charger. It won't be there. But that's ok, that's just Canon's way of saying we don't appreciate you dating our daughter. Rest assured though, that battery will push through that not working middle light right on to the end and you can bet your sweet little tushy that Canon will tell you when your battery is 100% charged. Don't let Canon fool you, Wasabi was built with a little spice in mind.

Edge of battery hangs out a little bit. Fit is not perfect but it works fine. Great for a backup battery but I wouldn’t trust the weather sealing in extreme environments.

The battery doesn't fit in the charger. It works in a Canon 1DX but doesn't fit in the charger... Really? There's a notch on the bottom of the battery that is longer on this battery than on the Canon battery. I'm not sure if they expect you to buy a different charger for their battery, but this is ridiculous.

I read here reviews that this battery did not work in the Canon R3, and I thought maybe Canon did something anti-consumer and locked the camera to only allow OEM batteries. I bought one anyway to use this battery in my EOS 1D X II. Turns out, it worked perfectly in my R3. I photographed a lacrosse game with it, taking thousands of photos, and the battery indicator did not drop below the halfway mark. So if you have an R3, are worried it won't work, relax -- it works just fine.

I've purchased Wasabi batteries for my Canon 40D, 5D MKII, 7D over the years and now for my Canon 1DXMKII. It's been years and I have yet to have any fail or degrade. That was the main reason for sticking with Wasabi, that and saving more than $100 over the OEM from Canon of which I own two. It comes with approx. a 20% charge and instructions on the web advise to give it a full charge which I did on the Canon LC-E19 charger and the Wasabi battery was recognized by my camera. Time will tell but based on past experience I full expect this battery like the rest I own to last years. The value for the price can't be beat.

This battery will fit in a Canon 1Dx, BUT it will not fit the Canon charger. You have to buy a different charger. The battery will never read 100% in the charger or the camera. There is no consistancy between batteries or over time with the charging ability. Yes they are cheaper than Canon OEM batteries and the camera will function fine until the battery reads dead on the camera. You will need multiple ones to be sure you always have charged battery, whereas Canon OEM batteries will last a long time and always give an accurate % reading.

I've been using third party batteries over the years. After deciding not to spend over $300 on replacing the LP-E4N batteries which had died, I bought very cheap "PowerExtra" batteries for my 1DX and 1D Mark IV. I shot hundreds of events with them and they worked perfectly although the 1DX didn't show how much charge is left in them. Now the new Canon chargers (like the one with the 1DX Mark III) will simply refuse to charge them since they don't communicate with the charger. The Wasabi LP-E19 is even better since the 1DX (and the 1DX Mark III) will show you how much charge is left. I've shot several events along with Canon's LP-E19 and have found no difference in life at all. The new Canon chargers will charge them just like a Canon battery. PLEASE NOTE: this battery will NOT charge on the LC-E4 charger that came with your 1DX. A Canon LP-E19 battery won't charge either so don't blame Wasbi. This type of battery will ONLY charge on a LC-E19 charger that comes with a 1DX Mark II or Mark III. If you don't have this charger then don't buy this battery.

Works but they lose power very quickly, not recommended.
