Arrow Third Party Battery for Canon 5dmk2 (LP-E6) In Stock Now! - 03-26-2009, 02:07 PM


Just got this in from a Sponsor on the TPF site:

--------------------------------
Hey there guys, we just got in a Third Party Battery/Charger combo for the Canon 5dmk2 (LP-E6).

$69.95

Battery Combo Includes:
  • Battery
  • Charger
  • A/C cable
  • Euro Plug

The genuine Canon LP-E6 batteries have been on back order for some time so those that are looking for an immediate alternative you're in luck!

Note: This replacement battery CAN NOT be charged with your stock Canon charger, it must be charged with the supplied charger in this combo kit.

This item is so new that it's not on the Arlington Camera store site yet so in order to place an order you'll have to call our store at 800.313.6748 and ask for myself Melanie or Hermilo and we'll get you squared away!

Be sure to tell them you heard about it on TPF!

If you are going to buy a third party battery, please don't be scared when you do put it in your camera 5DII.

From what I understand, your camera will sense that it's not a Canon battery,
and it will make you accept that you can't see the battery info.
Yes, the camera will NOT display the battery info.

I don't know what other differences there are, and no I don't have a 5DII.

True. I believe Canon has a smart chip in their batteries which will calculate in 1% increments of how much juice is left and how many shots youve taken on that one charge. it will also tell you the condition of the battery as well.

im sure the third party batteries will not have those extra features... just charge and shoot..
