Canon LP E6N Rechargeable Battery for EOS 7D Mark II - Black

Dispatched from and sold by Amazon = Genuine Cannon LP-E6NBought two for the  Canon BG-E14 Battery Grip for EOS 70D  and could not be more happy.Compatible Cameras:EOS 7D Mark IIEOS 7DEOS 5DSEOS 5DS REOS 5D Mark IIIEOS 5D Mark IIEOS 60DEOS 60DaEOS 70DEOS 6DEOS 80DCompatible Chargers:LC-E6LC-E6EThe LP-E6N was launched with the EOS 7D Mark II and is basically the new modified version of the old LP-E6.The LP-E6N and LP-E6 are 100% backwards and forward compatible, the only noticeable difference between the 2 is that the LP-E6N has a 3.5% higher mAh (1865mAh) over the LP-E6 (1800mAh)My advice if you thinking about this battery:Don't mess around with off brand/computable brand batteries use this genuine Cannon offering! I know they are expensive and Cannon probably makes a pretty penny, but this genuine battery will be long lasting, hold charge longer when unused, more usable and stable in different temperature environments i.e. the cold. Also would you even want to run the risk of a cheap £15 battery leaking/venting and destroying your £1000 camera?Cannon Warranty:"Canon shall not be liable for any damage to this product and/or accidents such as fire, etc., caused by the malfunction of non-genuine Canon accessories (e.g., a leakage and/or explosion of a battery pack)."Also please check:When ordering that its stated as "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon" as when Amazon is out of stock it may default to other sellers that are not offering the genuine/correct product, which I believe has been the source of some confusion and inconsistencies with reviews.Edited 25/04/2016 to include new 80D model compatibility..

There will always be cheaper options than the Canon branded batteries. I have 4 of these and and they are not cheap. However, my experience has been that the charge lasts and lasts and lasts. If the weather turns bad for a week or 2 or more and I'm stuck indoors, when I finally grab the camera there is still a ton of power left. I switch off the power saving options on my 7D MKII and during the warmer months the battery can last all day (yes it depends on the level of action). Happy to recommend.

Ok, so Canon batteries aren't the cheapest, and you often hear of third party ones giving the same results. Problem is, as the owner of a 5Ds and needing the E6N rather than the older E6 the choice is more limited. And with Canon saying they won't honour any warranty as a result of third party battery defect, and the risk it poses to a very expensive camera, I think the price is worth paying. I have third party batteries from trusted brands in my older Canon cameras, and as soon as they start selling this newer type of battery I may go down that route (after they've been out a while and got good results), but not just yet. I know the E6 older one works in the 5Ds, but the newer battery is there for a reason, and I have to say at a recent shoot, it kept it's charge longer than my other cameras using the E6, even though they aren't that old (about a year).

Has anyone realised that the product being sold is two batteries (against the price it's £40.25/count and in the details count is 2). I ordered it as this but only had one delivered.Having bought a new EOS 90D camera mid Dec 22, I had a known genuine Canon battery to compare it to, and was happy that this is a genuine battery, well packed and identical in almost every detail with just minor label differences due to the age. This is the problem I had and why I'm returning it, when removed from the packaging the this battery label was stamped with a Date of Manufacture (DOM) number (it doesn't call it that but that's what it is) and this was dated Nov 2018 - so it was just over 4 years old. Whilst Li-ion is way better than older battery technologies I'm not prepared to spend this sort of money on a battery product this long in the supply chain. By comparison the battery that had come with the camera was just over 4 months old. The issue is largely stock rotation in the supply chain, however to be fair to them, there is no DOM printed on the packaging.Note: That when I came to return this single battery, digging down through the returns screens eventually showed it as a single battery for ~£67, so I have reported the 'not as advertised' issue.I've given it 2 stars simply because I was satisfied it was a genuine Canon product, and will order it again once my return has been processed and Amazon have sorted their description/delivery alignment issue. I'm hoping the aged stock is a random issue, if not it'll be returned again and that's it, I'll go elsewhere.

I don't normally write reviews but I thought I would in this case. I was a little unsure whether these would be genuine having read some of the reviews but according to my 5DsR they most definitely are - which was relief! They are also definitely the LP E6N and the camera happily registered both batteries without issues. I have after market batteries that I use on my old 5D mk2 which make the 5DsR squeak in protest and then shut down given half a chance - hence I'm happy that they are the real deal.I've not had them long enough to vouch for how long they will last etc but I'm happy so far (and the price is really good too).

I bought some not-Canon batteries to supplement the battery provided with my new Canon EOS 80D - this was a false economy as the cheaper batteries did not fit! So I bought this Canon spare battery - and yes, it is genuine Canon item which is identical to the battery supplied with my camera. Although the blurb say it's for an EOS 70, it fits my EOS 80D perfectly well, although I haven't actually used the camera yet. I can't comment of battery life or longevity but, having used Canon cameras and accessories for nearly 20 years, I expect no problems.
