Wasabi Power LP-E6, LP-E6N Battery (2-Pack) and Charger for Canon EOS 5D Mark II/III/IV, 5DS, 5DS R, 6D, 6D Mark II, 7D, 7D Mark II, 60D, 70D, 80D, 90D, R, R5, R6, Ra, XC10, XC15, BMPCC 4K, BMPCC 6K

This is such a great deal. I have had these batteries for almost 2 years and they have never given me any problems so I just got some more. They came charged between 60% and 80%, nice. They are rated at a higher mAH than the canon lp-e6 so they might last a little bit longer, I haven't done side by side testing. What I do notice is that these batteries function just like canon batteries. Some other non-OEM will not be this way, for example these Wasabi Power will give battery info in the camera and will charge on the canon charger. They are are reading full recharge performance in my camera's battery info after around 2 years of use. The value is clear, for $32 you get prime shipping, 2 batteries 1 charger and 1 car cigarette lighter adapter for the charger and the foreign plug if you're going to Europe. a canon battery cost just about $58 here on amazon. I advise doing what I did which was get two of these packages, which gives you 4 batteries and 2 car ready chargers for a few bucks more than one canon battery! I will probably buy more, you can never have too many batteries! It gives you peace of mind, especially shooting video to know that you are covered. 2 batteries in a battery grip on the Canon 7D gave me approx. 3.5hrs of continuous video recording at 1080p. so half that to get how much a single battery will approx. give you. I have never had any problems but Wasabi Power says it will replace any non working batteries no charge within first 30 days and with only a shipping charge within the first 3 years. Pros- - good quality - inexpensive - functionally identical to OEM Canon battery - may have longer run time than Canon Battery - 3 year warranty Cons- -None Summary- This is the kind of modern product I really appreciate, essential for powering the camera, affordable and long lasting. The company says that their goal is for every customer to be 100% satisfied and I think that with this product that every customer will be. It would be cool to see them make a multi battery charger, maybe a Quad?

These WASABI branded LP-E6xx batteries perform perfectly (with one exception - see below) in all my cameras that use this battery format; 6D2, 5D4, R5, R6ii, and R7. They provide a proper status readout and recharge in body on the mirrorless cameras. The only issue I have found with them, and I can't explain it, is when used as a pair in the 5D4 grip (genuine Canon OEM grip, don't recall number) I get indications of incompatibility where the camera only reports one battery present on the battery status page. Using a pair of Canon batteries in the same setup, both batteries are present on the battery status page in the menu. But taking the same WASABI batteries one at a time in the 5D4 without the grip attached, there were no issues at all and they worked normal. With all other aspects of use, single or paired in a battery grip, there are no issues seen. They charge in my all my LP-E6xx chargers, including the Canon LC-E6 standard AC powered single port charger. Please note: I don't use these as the primary batteries (have Canon OEM LP-E6NH or LP-E6P), I have the WASABI ones available as backups when needed.

My wife is using these in her 60D, and they have worked great so far. They survived an out-of-the-country vacation, and had no issues with reliability. We haven't had much time with them yet, so I can't say anything about longevity, but the price was better than reasonable. The charger definitely sold me, as it has the vehicle adapter, and that's just a no-brainer. I would absolutely recommend Blue Nook as a seller, as the shipping was without delay, packaging was good, and he even followed up to make sure we were happy with the purchase. Normally, I don't like getting bugged with phone calls, but when it's after I already bought something (rather than before I've committed, i.e. salesmen digging up business), it's much more sincere - keeping a customer is as important, if not more, than trying to gain a customer. Regardless, if you buy these and have any issue with the purchase, I'd bet good money that they'd make it right for you. I will certainly follow-up on this review if we have any issue with the batteries in the future. Reliability will be quite important, as the wife is counting on them for her new photography business. If they have issues within 3 years, I'd surely test out the warranty they claim to have come with. If they last longer than that, I'd be beyond happy!

Background: I forgot my charger while at my parents house for two weeks over the holidays. I did not want to spend a lot of money, but needed another charger for use on the road. I looked at the options on Amazon, especially because I wanted to guarantee one day delivery, and decided to take a chance on this affordable solution. Out of the Box: Nothing fancy here. Everything was neatly and securely packed, but no instructions were in my box. I deducted a half star for this since some explanation of the battery plate, other battery plates, and the status light would have been helpful. Use: the charger charged both the two included batteries and the Canon batteries I had without issue. The status started at red and turned green when charged. The plate did come off several time. It is easily reinstalled but I deducted a half star for the nuisance. The batteries: I am still using the included batteries, but so far find their performance good with no issues noted. Both were recognized by my 60D as LP6 and performance is being monitored by the camera. I am using them in a Canon 60D Grip, http://www.amazon.com/Canon-BG-E9-Battery-Grip-EOS/dp/B00449NU3W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356817922&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+60d+grip, and they both fit into the grip without issues. Recommendations: I am pleased with this purchase. I find the charger to be functional, but not equal to the Canon and the batteries as good as Canon so far. That said, the price for this charger and batteries is far less then the Canon and a good alternative to Canon. I would recommend this product and I am satisfied with my purchase.

For the price these can't be beat, you have 2 batteries, a charger and cable for home or car. To me it last as long as my Canon batteries. UPDATE(4/23/14): After using this for over 6 months I am impressed by them. Starting off with the batteries, my batteries I know last longer than my regular Canon 70D batteries. I use them almost everyday for videos and I notice that these batteries will last longer. Not much longer, maybe extra 10-20 minutes, but it is noticeable. However, one of my batteries stopped holding it's charge after 4 months. I contacted the seller, and they sent me a replacement, hassle free. They just needed my order number and to verify my address. I was going to deduct a star, but problem was solved and I knew that I will eventually run into a defective product one day; it's just one of things you have to deal with electronics. The charger itself doesn't feel solid like the orginal Canon charger. It feels cheaper, more plastic feeling. No problem though because the price I paid for is very reasonable. As long as it charges the batteries it came with I am happy. As for the car adapter to charge, it works. Only got to try it once and even if I don't use it. It's good to know I have a another way to charge my batteries on the road. Pros: low price, last long, charger for the car Cons: charger feels cheap (it works, so no problem there)

This is my second set of Wasabi batteries for my Canon 7D. My first set was purchased in December 2012 with my new 7D. This first set is working fine, charges and HOLDS a charge for quite some time (months) with very little power bleed. The newest set which I purchased just a month ago will lose almost 50% of it's charge in one day of just sitting. Will charge fully, indicator shows charges to 100%. Put into the camera, the battery shows 100% charged on the camera. Take out he battery, leave it sit for a day, it loses about 40-50% of its power when checked inside the camera again. Definitely disappointed since the original set I purchased still work like intended. I guess it depends on the manufacture date. Like a shot in the dark. Overall, a lot of good ratings, but with this second set, for me, definitely let down. UPDATE: Blue Nook took the time to actually call me. They are sending out a new set of Batteries. As mentioned above my original set from Nov 2012 work perfectly, so had to be just bad components in these new ones. Wow, GREAT customer service to care to call the customer over $29 in batteries. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND purchasing if the only reason is the company BLUE NOOK stands behind their products. Thanks Terry/Blue Nook. Will buy again if needed. Thanks for the GREAT customer service!

UPDATE: After 18 months operating in strict rotation, the performance I get from these Wasabi Power LP-E6 batteries is indistinguishable from a same-age Canon battery. They have never disappointed, even during long shoots. After acquiring a second body, I'm adding additional Wasabi Power packs to our kit.7. Recommend. ----------- ORIGINAL: I've been running these two for seven months in even rotation with the original Canon LP-E6 battery that came with my 70D body and have been entirely satisfied with how they compare to the original. The car adapter came in very recently during a multi-day out-of-state trip and is a feature that the original Canon-branded charger doesn't offer. Having gone to the Boy-Scout-School-of-Photography (be prepared) it's become a permanent part of my kit. Background I always start my shoots with three fully charged batteries and usually swap batteries when the one in the camera gets down to about one bar, if there is sufficient pause, or when changing locations, whichever comes first. I've only run any of the three down to camera shutdown twice since these came into the kit, so full discharge is has not been typical of my use pattern. I adopted this battery-use discipline because I had done some research on Lithium Ion battery wear-out mechanisms and, evidently, deep discharge cycles exacerbate the wear out process. At the end of a shooting day, I recharge all batteries I used (usually only one or two) no matter how deeply discharged. I've been charging the Wasabi Power batteries only with the charger that came with them and the Canon battery only with its charger. This isn't a religious thing: If I purchase accessories, such as an LCD monitor that takes an LP-E6 (which would be a prerequisite) and upped my battery inventory as a result, I wouldn't hesitate to charge Wasabi Power batteries with the Canon charger to keep both chargers working during the off hours. In any event, if I find the need to grow my battery inventory or if any of the three reach the end of the charge-cycle-count lifetimes, I wouldn't hesitate to replace them with additional batteries from Wasabi Power.

I've had some successful results with non OEM batteries in the past. Since lp-e6 format has been around for a long time I thought I'd give it a try. Just got the new 6D canon released. The battery is not recognized by the camera, BUT, it does work so I gave it at least the 2 stars. You just have to live with the empty battery meter. So it's not completely useless. I'll keep them as back up. Unfortunately, I have 4 of 'em. I'll try them in the battery grip pack, to see if that'll work. EDIT #1 (2012DEC04). I actually got a call from one of the customer service rep within 24 hours of the post. They (WASABI) weren't aware of the compatibility problem with 6D due to being such new camera, i.e. battery hasn't been updated yet. According to the rep, they are aware of the problem and the compatible battery will be available in next 1-1.5 months. He offered to send a test battery to ensure compatibility with the new 6D when available. Now that's outstanding customer service (received a star bump today)! I will update once again when the new updated battery arrives and get to play with it. Possibly elevating more stars then. So for all you early adopters with a preordered 6D like myself, look to buy WASABI in Jan or Feb. EDIT #2 (2012DEC17). The seller now updated the title to exclude 6D, so that should help. I've now been using these batteries daily 15 minutes to an hour or so exclusively on 6D for photos and videos. Again, everytime you put in these batteries the 6D asks if you want to continue with "irregular batteries". They seem to work fine but you don't know how much charge is left. So every 2-3 days I would replace the batteries and charge them. I have yet to run them dry to the point of shut off yet. So it's still useful.

I still have not got the full chance to use it. I used it at one of the events and it worked fine. Of course, the battery life is less than the original but at this price, it is worth it. The quality of the cable, charging body and plug can get better. It just feels too plasticky and not durable. But I think one should keep it as a backup battery. Thanks,

Funcionan muy bien las baterías pero tardan de 6 a 8 horas en cargar completamente y con un solo cargador de vuelve un martirio.

The item arrived late. But the product is good.
