Canon DR-E18 Reviews

Terrible

By Damian
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-02-09

BH website lists this as compatible with the R50 but it is not. When I tried to initiate a return I was advised by BH to remove the battery door from my camera body. The most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I wish I could give BH zero stars for that one. What an absolutely ridiculous idea to permanently alter the camera body to plug in a battery. I will never buy anything from BH again since this is how they treat their customers. I will gladly drive across town to Hunts Photo.

Excellent Power Solution

While my SL-2 can withstand a 3 hour zoom meeting with just one fresh battery, I sometimes forget to have a fresh battery. This fills the bill.

The Canon DC Coupler DR-E18 is not compatible with the Canon EOS Rebel T7. You need the Canon ACK-E10 AC Adapter and DC Coupler Kit. Here is the link: https://bhpho.to/3bF0o01

I need some help with my short term memory! I know I have seen a battery "dongle" for the SL2 battery (LP-E17) that has a "fake" battery to go in the battery compartment and on the other end of the dongle, maybe connected to a 6 inch cord, a receptacle for a real E17. This would allow changing a battery without actually handling the camera, having to readjust on the tripod, etc...I don't mean a dongle to attach to a separate power supply but just to another E17. I hope I have described this in enough detail. Thanks for your help?

You can attach the dummy battery and use it in conjunction with a brick battery. Click the links below to view the items; https://bhpho.to/3dZHDpI https://bhpho.to/2zy3Xrt

Will this coupler connect directly into an external monitor to power the camera? I have a smallhd focus 7.
Asked by: Sean
No, the connector on this coupler is too big. The SmallHD branded ones use a smaller male connector, like this one for an example. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1337665-REG/smallhd_pwr_adp_cambatt_lpe6_monitor_camera_power_compatible.html

Asked by: Neslihan
The ac adapter is purchased separately, but it depends which camera you own as there are different ac adapters for different cameras. Please email us at [email protected] the camera that you own and we can recommend you the correct ac adapter and dc coupler for your camera.

Will this also work with the AC Power Adapter AC-E6N? Specs here omit the N, which seems to be the adapter that ships with the equivalent product for the 5dmkiv battery. I'd like to purchase two couplers and one power sources.
Asked by: Ray
Yes, you can use this with the AC-E6N.
