Canon LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh)
The Canon LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack (7.2V), has a capacity of 1800mAh, making it possible to shoot up to 850 shots at normal temperatures on a single battery charge. The battery is also more compact and lightweight than previous battery models.
The LP-E6 battery also communicates with the EOS 5D Mark II, 60D and 7D digital cameras, so that you can always check the remaining capacity on the camera's power source info screen. In addition, a unique feature of the LP-E6 battery pack is that it has a microchip encoded with an 8-character serial number. So when the battery pack is installed in the camera, you can register it using a menu command. Then track the condition and power characteristics of up to 6 batteries in your camera to ensure you use your batteries evenly and identify batteries that are near the end of their useful lifespan.

Everything you'd expect from Canon
I recieved the new LP-E6 batteries (2) just before I went on vacation with my new 5D-Mark II.

I recieved the new LP-E6 batteries (2) just before I went on vacation with my new 5D-Mark II.
I was using the batteries in a BG-E6 Battery Grip.
I shot around 1200 pictures (simultaneous large JPG and RAW) mostly at the the rated ~4 frames per second before I recharged both batteries. And according to the 5D battery status check I still had about 300 shots left. The 5D Mark II batteries are about twice as much as the older BP-511A series I use in my 20D and 40D but they are worth the price.

I have to say, I'm liking these new lp-e6 batteries in the new crop of Canon bodies over the bp511, but the pricing on the batteries is well.... typical Canon. It's an overpriced product, though I succumbed to the pricing over 3rd party batteries due to reports of the battery getting stuck in cheaper versions. That being said, These new batteries are fantastic, hold one heckuva charge and I would recommend them. The product does lose 2 stars due to excessive cost (in my opinion).

Comments about Canon LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh):
I know that I am going to shoot a lot of photographs and videos with my new Canon 60D so I purchased this battery along with it. I am happy that I did because the 60D sure eat a lot of power and with Maine's cold weather, the battery that came along with the camera dies pretty fast. With this as a back up, I can continue shooting with no problems. Hopefully, I can get a battery grip pretty soon.

Comments about Canon LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh):
I was a little skeptical that the battery may be a Canon knock-off due to the relatively low price. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an actual Canon LP-E6. It is recognized as such in my Canon EOS 60D and so far has proven reliable.

Comments about Canon LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh):
It's kinda hard to review a battery. But, I think it is worth the price and holds it's charge well. I was able to use my 60D in video mode for about 3 to 5 hours before I needed to change the battery.

Comments about Canon LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh):
The camera came with one, but I needed a second one. The stock battery gave me no reasons to switch, even though there are cheaper alternatives. Would be a 5 star, if not for the price.

Comments about Canon LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh):
I purchased this battery as a much needed back up for IEM
battery that came with my camera a year and a half ago.
The original battery has performed great, and so far this
one is just as great. I shot a whole day with it recently, and it performed without hesitation.
