You can also look at for Sterlingtek for batteries on Amazon. They have a very good reputation as well. . I use primarily Sandisk cards but I have two Transcends that work just fine. Jim

Might also look a little more there may be packs higher then 2000mah that was just a quick search I did. How much longer do they last? Oem is like 1200 I believe. 6D -- Canon 24-105 -- 50mm f1.8 -- Canon 16-35 f/4 -- Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II -- Canon 85 1.8

Oem is like 1200 I believe. This is coming from my RC racing experience, but a battery with double the mah should last close to twice as long. So your not gaining a whole slew of extra shooting, but I figure if a bigger battery is available why not get it. I shot an entire airshow, camera on all day with like 5k images one 2 2000mah batteries. That was with some 12min exposures as well.

If your doing any video I would be getting the largest packs you could find. Would getting that much of a higher "mah" do damage? 6D -- Canon 24-105 -- 50mm f1.8 -- Canon 16-35 f/4 -- Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II -- Canon 85 1.8

No .... its just battery storage size, has nothing to do with voltage or any of that other stuff. Its just has more energy storage.
