The last time I checked, Sterlingtek was not yet selling any Canon LP-E6 compatible batteries. The LP-E6 is the newer battery that contains a microchip and communicates its power capacity with the body, and is used in 60D, 7D and 5DMkII.

If that is the battery used in the 60D, then the Maximal batteries are a good battery. I bought two. They work just like the OEM batteries, report all information as well as percent charge left and number of shots taken.

This combo has worked great for me since I use two in the grip.

Or is there a good dual battery charger you all can recommend?
