Stay away - rather original Canon battery buy ...

The purchase of this China firecracker is back not quite 10 months. In August 2011, I, blinded by the low price, bought two of these LP-E6 imitations of Star Bundle. The fact that the performance is not on the original batteries (about 65%) comes close was already clear to me, but most of all errors and failures became more frequent with every additional charge cycle. After the third or fourth store I have those things no longer really Community, let alone had familiar and really only as emergency reserve during shooting with the 5D there. And when times were used, then there was every time the nasty surprise that despite display with full charge both batteries suddenly got out after a short time, the camera turned out promptly and good shots thus simply were in the bucket. Same game yesterday, after which the perpetrators could come over for the last time as "China firecrackers" in action and although the strong throw on the asphalt ... Anyway, definitely reaches even here the old adage: who buys cheap buys twice. Conclusion: typical China scrap. However, the flight characteristics are fantastic!

Addendum 07.09.2012: the second replica battery has finally given up the ghost after just over a year cautiously use. Charged in the original Canon charger, he keeps in my 5D MKII in Live View mode just 1 minute and without Aufnhame or photo activation -. So the pure image viewing / setting Testing the flight characteristics I save, the next transition to the recycling center the thing is properly disposed as hazardous waste.
