Canon LP-E6, Charging Kit

Wasabi Power Canon LP-E6 Charging Kit — Budget-Smart Backup Power for Canon Shooters

The gist: A 2-battery + charger bundle for Canon LP-E6‑compatible bodies that gives working photographers reliable backup power at a fraction of OEM prices — practical for client shoots where battery swaps are routine, not critical emergencies.

• Two batteries, one kit price: At ~$23 for two batteries and a charger, Wasabi covers a full client shoot day with a hot-swap spare ready — the math works: two batteries at $23 versus one OEM Canon LP-E6 at ~$80.
• Full decoded display: Both batteries report precise charge percentage to the camera body exactly as OEM batteries do — no guessing remaining capacity when heading into a client session or switching between shots.
• Broad Canon compatibility: Covers EOS 5D Mark II–IV, 6D/6D Mark II, 7D/7D Mark II, 80D, 90D, EOS R, R5, R6, XC10, XC15, and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K/6K cameras — one kit across a multi-body workflow.
• 3-year warranty: Three years of manufacturer coverage on both batteries provides a basic safety net for professional use where battery degradation over charge cycles matters.

Photographer Gregory Varghese found Wasabi LP-E6 cells practical for his Canon 5D Mark III shoots — noting the per-battery cost difference versus OEM “means that I don’t really notice the difference” when carrying multiple batteries, and called Wasabi a “customer for life” after their warranty service.

Best for: Professional Canon photographers who want affordable backup batteries for client shoots, with the flexibility to swap mid-session rather than depend on a single OEM cell. Skip it if: you’re shooting extended events (weddings, live productions) where per-cell maximum runtime is critical — OEM Canon LP-E6 cells have higher rated capacity and more consistent performance under heavy use.
