Can anyone recommend a third party LP-E6 battery that is chipped and shows battery meter and can be charged on original charger?

I got mine from batterybusiness on ebay.

It's identical to my Canon one and works perfectly.

There's a thread somewhere if you do a searck that a few of us posted in.

I bought a compatible grip and 2 chipped batteries here;

Canon 7d grip and batteries

I've not seen the original grip in person, the compatible one works well and doesn't smell of cheap burnt plastic.

The batteries charge from the original 7D charger and charge level is displayed on the LCD. I've not had them long enough to test the battery life compared to the original.
