Thanks for all your testing. Bought some Neewer as they are so cheap (the Canon are 4x the price in the UK at £120). By using them as well, the original Canons will go through fewer cycles and last longer.

SmallRig announces LP-E6NH battery for Canon, priced at $39.99 USD.
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I was so intrigued I ordered two batteries. The ability to charge via USB-C directly sounds very intriguing for me as I can just switch the battery, put it on power bank in my backpack or car and just keep on shooting 
And compared to the Canon LP-E6N it does offer a way higher capacity Oh, final thought: I like the blue color (my favorite) as it helps to immediately distinguish the batteries from the Canon LP-E6N´s I have.

Would be great if these would also be chargeable IN camera. Can anyone who buys them find that out?

In about three weeks I can tell you whether it works with the R7 or not. I guess there are people on this forum who could tell you sooner though

I'm interested in seeing what Tig and the Camnostic team find with these batteries. As Camnostic and other testers have demonstrated, no third party battery beats OEM in terms of power delivery (including H+), durability, and longevity. Even those cells which purport "more power", drop off the curve after a couple of cycles.

I agree. Third party batteries also have worse QC. Some are better than another and some are really bad. I've been opting for Wasabi for a while, and their 2 packs are cheaper than one OEM. They don't last longer but they've been pretty good for a backup. However, I recently noticed that one of LP-E17 doesn't hold charge. I've had it since the release of RP. I'm still debating whether to get one OEM or third party.

That's good to know. I have only Canon OEM batteries right now for the R6. If you are a stingy with your power settings - I run mine in airplane mode, low speed view finder, rear screen off - you can get the green H+ a lot lower than 65%. I was down to about 13% at a soccer tournament and still getting it when the battery was pretty new. Mainly switched over to ES mode, so have not really re-tested now that the battery is older.

The camera won't run with the battery door open so placement doesn't matter.

This is fantastic news.
finally a battery that can be easily charged in a car. very useful when travelling and on the move.
and waaaaaay cheaper that the OEM version.

True, if someone wants to hack it. The rubber grommet for the cord allows the door to close with a dummy battery. The grip has a tab that depresses the button. I've never understood someone who wants to use a screw, toothpick, tape or whatever to try and bypass the door.
The body has USB-C PD. You can't use both. So you want the battery door open or removed and a battery you can plug in to? So you can leave the door attached, but open or removed with the button taped or depressed?
This battery is not a power or charging solution. Wouldn't a USB-C PD or VMount be a better and more graceful option. The door open / off thing , open cavity or hack sounds like a bunch of unnecessary maneuvers. Sorry I'm not seeing the benefit. If you want to use a gimbal, just use a splitter.
