Canon 6d third party batteries?

Hi all, just ordered a new Canon 6d which I can't wait to try! Was wondering if anyone has used non canon batteries in there's?

I've used plenty in my 7D I wouldn't ever buy a genuine Canon battery.

Any particular make? I have used them in my 550d without any problems but they don't last as long.

Only ever bought one non OE battery. Supposedly a reputable brand. Piece of crap. Wouldn't fit on the charger or in the camera properly. Will never buy another.

Have seen some that don't give correct charging info in cameras such as the 5D3.

I usually try and negotiate a deal on the batteries when I buy the body. Got 2 LP-E6 for £40 when I bought my 5D3 and a free LP-E4N when I bought my 1DX.

But I'm sure that many have far more positive stories than mine.
