It seems Duracell ONLY sell batteries for older model cameras where there is no "copy protection".
I can get a Duracell for my 550D (Rebel T2i) but I can't get a Duracel Battery for my 760D (Rebel T6S).
No 3rd party batteries can be charged on my 760D Charger and the camera software cannot record their performance and life history - UNLIKE Canon OEM batteries.
I Love Duracell been using them for seval years and they still perform like new.
Yeah, these guys understand batteries. Can't wait to be able to buy them in Canada!
Very nice find. Im in canuckistan but will happily support duracell delivering oem quality batteries at a fair price.
Fair price for sure. C$120 is way too much for a single battery.
Very interesting video Simon, I have tended to play safe and over the years have stuck with the Camera original batteries. But after watching your video it made me stop and think for a minute as I use a lot of AA rechargeable batteries for accessories etc and over the years I have found the best value and most reliable rechargeable have been Duracell. I will be looking at these new Duracell batteries when they become available in Australia. As usual great job of keeping us informed.
You're welcome Cliff. I was one click away from buying until they said US only. It's nice to do a tips video for a change among all the news and rumour videos. I hope to do more of these in the future.
Cliff, try again. I set the locale to AU$ and the site allowed me to view batteries. It appeared to have a different selection than the US site. I created an account and was able to select Canada. But the site is tossing lots of errors. Can't seem to complete the order. One thing I found odd, they limit the password to between 4 and 10 characters - very strange - a red flag there.
Hi Simon
Just for your and your viewer's information. The Duracell batteries can already be purchased in Europe.
I am Danish and bought extra batteries for my EOS R at a Danish Duracell webshop in start may
.
Keep up the good work 😊
Thanks for the update Flemming!
Thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely look into buying one of these.
You're welcome. It's nice to do a video that is not a rumour based video :)
OEM all the way. But Duracell has a good reputation. Special consideration is how accurately remaining charge is reported to camera. R5 will probably chew through batteries, so picking up a pair of Duracells may not be a bad idea if they will make the LP-E6NH.
I might too. I need some new batteries.
I use PowerExtra too. I think they're amazing for the price, but these Duracell batteries might end up being the best value for money!
I did some more digging. They have 1600 mAh. The lp-e6n is over 1800. But they are reviewed well. I just wish canon would put them on sale once in a while.
I saw these online somewhere but I wasn't sure about them. I am leaning towards giving them a shot as my 70D is almost as old as yours. My battery still holds up for photos, but pop the flash a few times and not so much....I bought a Refuel by Digi Power (Best buy house brand) LP-E6 replacement for $45.00 and it has been OK, but noticeably shorter life between charges. They say 1600mAh vs. Canon's 1800mAh, which explains why. Duracell might be a good idea! Thanks!
For the 70D, I'd recommend the powered batteries. The link is in the video description. They are cheap and have performed very well over the past year and are rated well. If you were getting the R5, I would suggest Canon.
Knowing that they are already available in Europe (Thanks Flemming Andreasen for that info 😉), I think him gonna give it a chance!
Looks like they are having trouble with their site. I was able to add a battery to the cart with a Canadian address, but it kept erroring out. I did notice that their LP-E6N batteries where on 1600 mHa...
I will try them on a new Canon R5, can't wait!
Let me know ho they go. Can't get them in Canada at present.
For my Canon 80D I have 4 Wasabi and they are excellent
How long have you used them for Michael?
The real test will be if they actually get recognized by the Canon cameras as the E6N batteries. The N batteries are capable of in camera and grip charging in the R where the regular E6 is not.
True enough. But these are not cheap batteries. Its easy to find batteries a third the price of these. I don't think they would cause damage, but will they perform as well?
Ravpower and Nightcore is good too though range of batteries may not be as much. All my Sony Fz and Npf batteries are from rav power
I'm in need of more, but not sure whether to go Duracell or OEM...
All I use is Duracell for our toys and remotes, I’d give them a try! My camera batteries are usually the one that came with the camera and 2 cheapest from Amazon.
That is what I have been doing, but if I get the R5, I might think different. The cheap batteries don't always deliver the required power as they age.
Ordinary Filmmaker I have an original M50 battery and 2 Amazons, Amazon’s outlast originals, same with my 7DMK2!!
That is surprising! Your experience is opposite mine. I'm going to change the poll. I want to see how any others have the same exerpeince.
I am into photography a few years now and I never bought original batteries, they are just not worth the markup. The third party batteries I have all perform similar to to the originals, but I would recommend to buy them from known replacement battery manufacturers and stay away from the really cheap noname ones. I bought these really cheap ones for my first camera and they lost most of thier capacity after a few charges.
I've done the same thing. I found power extra to be pretty good, but I've only used them for a year.
The 1 dislike is the Energiser Bunny 🐇
lmao...
I mostly take Still Pictures and have used several brands of 3rd party (LP-E6) batteries with my Canon cameras with good results.
Some brands will give "more shots per charge" and some will "hold a charge longer". But almost all are a bargain at $10 per battery.
Before retiring I was a electronic tech and my hobbies kept me heavily involved in Li-Poly batteries. I have used high end battery analyzers to test and monitor all my batteries. The ones that work the best for me, at least so far, are: Canon, RAVPower, and PhotoLex. Other brands are okay in the first several months but performance drops after 6 months or so.
I have a 2017 Canon battery that only gives me about 80% but a 2017 STK that I get 95% from.
BTW, pay no attention to the rating on Chinese 3rd party batteries. In fact, take with a grain of salt any battery that says it has over 2,100mah!
Thanks so much William for your analysis. I'll remember that when I buy batteries. ... Canon, RAVPower, and PhotoLex
Got myself one in the uk for my EOS R a few weeks ago, so far so good, let’s se how long they last
Please keep me posted on this.
I have several different makes of camera and always buy 3rd party batteries, however I always buy an independent charger to use with them. The charger that came with the camera goes back into the box.
I suspected that manufacturers chargers are designed to detect and under charge a 3rd party cell. Olympus cameras with a 3rd battery moans every time you switch the device on, recommending Olympus batteries.
To test this out I experimented initially with my Panasonic G9, I charged the original battery measured the voltage and then did the same with the 3rd party cells I had purchased. I cannot remember the exact results as it was two years ago, but there was a notable difference in the final voltage. I then shifted the same battery into the independent charger and charging continued on for at least 30 minutes and the voltage came out at 0.2V over the stated value.(All batteries have a higher than stated value when they are not under load conditions.) I repeated the experiment with Olympus, Pentax and Sony chargers with the same results of under charging. I do however avoid batteries with raised capacity and labels stuck on them, especially gold labels. They have in my experience been recycled OEM used cells. There are plenty of decent independent 3rd party cells, just look at reviews before purchasing and buy them with a 3rd party charger at the same time to gain further savings.
Great tip! Will try to get my hands on some when it’s available in my country. By the way, do you guys have instagram?
Nope, never set it up. Just UA-cam and Facebook. I have twitter too, but rarely use it.
Hahnel make a decent cheap batteries. Not the same name backup of Duracell. I stick with Canon for my camera, more on the basic assumption it costs a lot to fix if a battery blows up. and I know its only 1 in a million chance but thats my OCD.
Very good Point. Has not been a problem. in 40 years, but I am getting more and more expensive ever all the time. But what is the guarantee if the canon battery goes south?
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker its just you hope the manufacturers batteries are built with better-compatible components.
I would definitely consider Duracell batteries for extra ones.
I'd pick up a pair of them for sure. I usually have three batteries on the go, though maybe I should pick up three as I go through batteries more quickly now.
I prefer to stick with OEM products as they're specifically designed for the job. However, Duracell have never let me down so I'd definitely consider purchasing a suitable Duracell camera battery.
Edit:
That's as long as Canon don't do anything silly like refusing to service a camera under warranty because the 'wrong' battery was used.
Me too.

I don't trust anything other than OEM, however Duracell is reputable so they are basically OEM, they are probably the ones making the batteries for these companies anyway. lol
Good point. Canon OEM batteries are likely farmed out. I'd go for them too.
I use Chinese brands. Power extra and BM
Same as me - power extra. I just added the links in the description. Might as well try out the amazon affiliate program - Peter said I should try it out.
Ordinary Filmmaker you should. It could help your channel grow faster.
Just pasted links for the last few videos. We will see ho that goes ;)
Id be allover these. Hopefully they come out soon.
Me too. They also offer free shipping, again us only...
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker nice! If you can keep us updated if you hear when we can get them in the US. 🙌
They are available in the US now. It's outside the US they are not. When I get an update on that, I'll broadcast it for sure.
That sounds very interesting 🤔
I'd trust Duracell over a lot of the third parties I have tried.
In my experience, they are a bit hit and miss, I've had one that swelled up and luckily it was not in the camera at the time, it's not gonna work out so cheap if it wrecks your camera!
The best ones I have had are Neewer and RavPower but despite their stated superior capacity older Canon batteries seem to have a similar performance...
What I have found far more useful and the reason I bought the aforementioned Neewer and RavPower, is their dual USB LP-E6 charger, so you have truly portable charging solution anywhere you have USB power, even a pocket power bank or car power socket, they were £20-30 each, cheap enough that you can just leave one in your glove compartment, I really considered the batteries as an added bonus.
Duracell, however, has a historical pedigree, so maybe they will fair better, however, the Duracell AA rechargeables I have used fall some way sort of Eneloops.
I wish Canon would just offer a better price. I'll pay more, I just hate feeling I am being taken advantage of.
They are or at least seem to be very expensive, what we don't know is the internal technology and microcircuitry compared to the third-party options, there must be a reason that the OEMs generally have a lower power rating and are more expensive, maybe more protection circuitry and less room for battery chemicals, after all, the camera is a delicate piece of electronics.
Good and newer tech is expensive, as we're no doubt about to discover with CFE and the latest specification of SD.
Meanwhile, we can just wander the third party battery minefield.
Video is about Duracell batteries. Instead, you show us Canon's and other's 3rd party batteries.
too bad they do not make any sony mirrorless.
The 3rd party batteries never perform as good the original one. I have 5 of those fake one. I trust the original ones
Also important note - cannon voids warranty if u use the 3rd party batteries .
Do you have documentation to show that. Seems like it would not hold up here in Canada or the US. It's like saying that it you take your car for service to a non Toyota, they won't honour the warranty.
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker here in India - if you use a 3rd party battery you will not get
1) insurance
2) warrenty ( service center says using 3rd party battery causes over heating and damages the mother board. Hence any issues with the camera will not be solved for free even if it has warrenty.
I experienced motherboard failure and they charged me for the service and parts stating that it caused due to the 3rd party battery .
Thanks for explaining your local laws. Each countries has different laws. A company cannot do that in Canada or the us, unless the battery has proven to be the cause of the problem, then it is up to the owner fo the camera to chase down the battery owner. But if the camera suffers a defect, and the cause is not traced to damaged caused by the battery, the company has to honour the warranty.
Only in your country. In the US use of third party doesn't void warranty
