Advice - Canon R6 batteries

[Jungli]

Team TP,

Looking for guidance on batteries for the R6.

So many to choose from anyone had any experience of the non oem ones?

Thanks in advance.

I've got a ton of the genuine ones for my R5, but I've got a few off Amazon just in case. Expro ones. TBH I've never had a bad battery from any third party makes, and I've been using them for over 10 years.

Read a bit online that you don't get the burst speed on non oem ones.

Did you find that with your selection of batteries?

Not that I notice at all.. my R5 does slow down sometimes but that’s the card I think as I’m using the genuine ones right now

Thanks ST, been looking for ex-pro batteries but they don't seem to available. Will look at second hand ones from mbp.

I’m using the DSTE ones in my R5 work well ,also got some older ansmann ones as well they are excellent too
In my opinion you’re better off with new third party ones than second hand canon ones but that’s just me

Duracell have been faultless for me for the past 3 years on my 5ds and now r6

MPB have a few original canon batteries. Not as cheap as third party but they’re OEM batteries for £73-77. Ive got one on order currently as I’m trading in some Sony batteries I had. May be worth a look.

Edit just read your post 5.
