Canon LPE6 replacements

J Veitch · 29 Sep 2015

Hopefully in the right place, so here goes.

I run a Canon 70D and am looking at some additional spare batteries. I know of course I could just grab another Canon one, but wonder if there are any brands of non-canon batteries that people had got on ok with? I did buy one a while ago and it quite frankly sucks.

Thanks in advance.

How do you find they last between charges? I think they are slightly lower capacity when I was looking at them.

There are many threads about this.

Duracell here. Works in both my 6D and 7Dmkii and charge fine on the Canon charger.
they last just as well as the OEM's

I use Hahnel's "Extreme" (orange) version of the LPE6, more expensive than the cheaper clones, but have found them to be very good and will charge in the newer Canon chargers.

DSTE ones worked really well for me.

Another for the Duracell's here, they charge fine on the original Canon charger as said.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my query everyone. I'll probably end up trying a Duracell one by the sounds of things.

Timely topic as was looking for one for the 60D for a friend. I did see some so called genuine ones on eBay for around £20 but are probably fakes.

If they are new, I'm sure they are fake.

I bought a load of these to take to south America a couple of years ago, I don't find any difference between those and the two canon ones I have.
