LP-E6 Battery Pack for EOS 5D Mark II The new lithium-ion LP-E6 battery pack is approximately 30% more powerful than the previous BP-511A with 1800 milliamp-hours capacity, vs. 1390 mAh for the previous-generation BP-511A. Among many exciting new features, Canons new EOS 5D Mark II brings with it a totally new compact battery pack called the LP-E6. Far from just a more powerful power supply, this new battery teams up with the camera in new ways to give photographers a precise outlook on remaining strength of a battery, as well as managing multiple batteries.Powerful New Power SourceThe new lithium-ion LP-E6 battery pack is approximately 30% more powerful than the previous BP-511A with 1800 milliamp-hours capacity, vs. 1390 mAh for the previous-generation BP-511A. Even though the new EOS 5D Mark II is a substantially higher-resolution camera than the previous EOS 5D, and in spite of the added performance of its DIGIC 4 processor, the LP-E6 powers the camera for 850 shots at normal temperatures (vs. 800 for the EOS 5D), based on CIPA-compliant tests performed at Canon Inc.Specifications:EOS 5D Mark II Shooting Capacity&nbsp&nbsp Temperature: 23C/73F&nbsp&nbsp Normal Usage: 850&nbsp&nbsp Live View: 200&nbsp&nbsp Movie Mode: Approx. 2 hoursCompatibility:&nbsp&nbsp BG-E6 Battery Grip&nbsp&nbsp CBC-E6 Car Battery Charger&nbsp&nbsp EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera&nbsp&nbsp EOS 5D Mark II + EF 24-105mm L IS USM Kit&nbsp&nbsp LC-E6 Battery Charger

Excellent battery

"The only problem I had with the 1st gen 5D was battery performance in cold weather. I made the switch to the Mark II in December and besides the great technology in the camera, the battery is a hidden gem. Recently I was on a shoot with a group and a 5D shooter had to switch to a point and shoot because the 5D battery lost all of it's juice in the cold weather. The Mark II's battery was still fully charged!!! I ..." Read Full Review »

It's more expensive than I cared to pay.

"But the info available from the battery on a shoot can come in handy if you aren't using the battery grip. But then you aren't reading the reviews unless you need it anyway...." Read Full Review »

"Well, you wanna run that new 5DMarkII right? It's a battery... what else can I say? The thing that bugged me about my new 5DMII is having to purchase another battery when I already have plenty of back-up batteries for my original 5D.

"I was sorry to discover that the 7D needed a different battery than the 30D, 40D, 50D and 5D, all of which I own. For those I bought both Canon and generic versions of the batteries and found little difference but price in them. However the newer battery communicates more information to the camera …"  Read Full Review »
