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 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 only bought one additional battery pack for my Canon EOS 5D Mark III because Canon told me how well the battery holds, as did the reviews I read on B&H. On my first day with the Mark III, I set two custom settings, set other functions, took about 400 photos, and, though I kept the screen off after shots were taken, I went back in to "play" many times. I also turned the camera on and off, which prompted the Sensor Cleaning each time. By the end of the day, only one of the battery power markers was empty. Lasts forever!

I debated whether to buy this battery or the many other compatible OEM products in the market. In the end, the price difference isn't that great anywhere, considering B&H is selling it at a great price. I have no regrets for this original.
