Winter is coming and want to make sure that i have enough batteries for long and cold days shooting urbans and park, but I dont want to buy canons batteries because they are so god damn expensive!
Ive heard different thing about this batteries, some of them wont charge on the canon charger, some one doesnt communicate with the camera and some of them stop working after some months..

Ive been looking at these,
This one works with the camera and can charge on a canon charger but I dont know if it will work ''forever'' as the canon batteries..

Do you have any experience with this cheaper batteries or any recommendations?

Thank you!:)

Nordic import er bra, jeg kjøpte en lader og et intervalometer fra dem.

Got that one a couple months ago. Has full charge, charges in original canon charger and shows battery life in camera. For fourteen bucks I'd recommend a few of these

Don't cheap out on them. Get chipped ones, I'd HIGHLY suggest the STK LP-E6 ones on amazon. they are like 66% higher capacity vs the original

i got the lp e8 ones off amazon.
I spent like 10 bucks and got 4 batteries. even if they dont last as long as chipped ones, I got 4 to last me.

lp-e8's dont have chips, so the knockoffs are really cheap and most of the time, just as good

lp-e6's are different
