Patona LP-E6P batteries are fully compatible with the R5II

koenkooi · Oct 9, 2024

I took the gamble of buying Patona branded versions of the LP-E6P and LP-EL this weekend and they arrived today. The LP-EL works fine in my EL-5 (which luckily doesn't drain batteries overnight) and the LP-E6P works in the R5II.
The R5II detects it as an LP-E6P, I can register it in the camera and both pre-capture in stills at 30fps and 8k60 RAW video recording worked without issues. I'm now charging it through the USB-C port in the battery itself.

Since they arrived less than half an hour ago, I can't say anything about capacity or longevity, but at half the price of their OEM counterparts they have some goodwill

Hi, Very good to hear.
Please post back here on how it compares to the OEM Canon regarding capacity/numbers of shots/how long it lasts etc... once you have used it a few times.
Thank you.

I tested 2 original Canon LP-E6P batteries and the Pantona one by setting the camera to record 4k30 and check the length of the recording after the camera shut off. The Canon batteries did around 90 minutes per battery, the Patona one did 58 and 62 minutes. So for movies it is only 2/3s of the OEM capacity.

Another quirk is that it only charged to 24% when using the builtin USB-C port, but the green light was on. Charging it in the body made it go to 100%

Thanks for doing the testing. 2/3rds the capacity for 1/2 the price is not for me especially as I have just bought a genuine Canon EP-E6P at 1/2 the UK price - I'm visiting my son in Boston MA and we got one sent here from B&H at $80 compared with the $160 back home.

And after inspecting the label and reading up a bit, these are 4 Ampere versions, the proper 6 Ampere ones will be available next year.

All in all I agree that it isn’t as good a deal as expected, but I now have a way to keep using pre-capture after emptying 2 batteries, so the money wasn’t wasted.

And with 2.5 LP-E6P and 4 LP-E6NH batteries, I don’t think I’ll need to buy batteries in the forseeable future, especially with USB-C PD working so well in hides.

Thank you for the post. I will wait for the 6A and see from Patona and also from other companies.
