Canon Battery Pack LP-E6P

If you’re going to shoot a Semi-pro or Pro Canon camera, these are the latest batteries (“P”) that enhance longer image taking time. I shoot barrel racing and other sports a lot and usually have to switch batteries (The “H" ones) during barrel racing after 3 rounds of 4 groups each round. Around 40 to 50 rides altogether. WIth these newer batteries, I can get about 65 extra rides. If I spend a whole day shooting images as a nature shoot, street photography or at some botanical gardens I can fill a 128GB v90 USH II card (about 6k images with a R5 45mp camera) and another 1/2 card before the battery wears out. It’s worth the expense.

This is the real thing and works better than aftermarket ones. My original ones had been in use for six years and got to the point where I charged them at the end of each day of shooting and carried a spare. With this new one, I took over 600 pictures on a recent trip over the course of ten days and most likely would have gotten by without a charge. I no longer needed to carry a spare, and of course charging every few days was still an option to make sure that I had plenty of power.They are a lot more expensive than aftermarket brands, and if you don't mind carrying multiple batteries and swapping, as long as a cheap battery gets you through most of the day, it might be good enough for your purposes. But if you want top quality and no regrets, go with this one.

I reluctantly admit that actual Canon brand batteries are better than the aftermarket variety. I've tried the no-name batteries for four Canon cameras in recent years and had various disappointments in them: short life, no life, bad fit. I no longer even try the alternate brands. Yes, the Canon brand batteries are more expensive than I'd like, but the aftermarket batteries are just not worth the trouble.

I went with the Canon battery since I know it will have a good battery life. That has proved to be the case.

If you have to e R5 Mark ii and use pre-capture you must get this battery. That pre-capture is a real battery suck for the older Canon battery and it will put you in a sad mood, but this battery will have you happy all over again with it’s longevity.

Works exactly as you would expect. It's a genuine factory replacement OEM Canon battery. While I'm reasonably sure that third-party batteries are adequate I sometimes feel funny trusting my multi-thousand dollar setup to cheaper batteries. I opted for the OEM battery and it works great; battery life is good and recharge time is pretty decent. I do think it's a bit expensive, but what photography gear isn't? I'm using it in an R6 mk2.

The Canon battery works exceptionally well. Very pleased with this purchase.

It’s the legit canon battery. Just make sure to get it from the canon store
