Generic LP-E6 Batteries. What is there and where to buy?

[Liazon]

Hi all. I THINK I have enough batteries for my 7D, but maybe some generic batteries would be useful if I go on long trips after the winter season.

What generic brands are there? Where can I buy one? The normal companies I know that make reputable product dont make a LP-E6 variant. Do any of you know where to find a quality generic copy?

Thanks.

All non-Canon LP-E6 behave as follow:

Important notice:
1. The battery can not be charged with original Canon charger but the charger in this auction can charge the Canon and third party LP-E6

2. Once you put the battery into your camera, there will be "No communication with the battery cell, whether or not to use this", promptly confirm "OK"

3. When you put the batteries in the camera you need to turn the camera on then off then on again. Only then will the canon 5D MK II read the third party battery and ask if you want to use a battery that doesn't communicate with the camera.. answer ok and you're ready to go (you just need to do this first time you use the battery)


4. There will be no battery power information on LCD but you can use it normally

I checked out the providers, but they do not have a version of the LP-E6

There are A LOT of after market LP-E6 batteries out there; Titan, Zeikos, Adorama's house brand to name just a few. And for good reason, LP-E6 battery has been out for quite a while. Do a Google search on after market options.
