Is this battery decoded? Does it communicates with the Canon EOS series cameras, so that I can always check the remaining capacity, shutter count ?

These batteries are the Eos M which doesn't have this function; it has only a three dot icon on the display. These Wasabi batteries are better than the Canon original, though.

Mine did not. I contacted the seller (he contacted me) after a negative review and replaced it for free. These batteries talk to the camera, they are not just power. I have NOT tried the replacement yet as I am using the OEM right now. I would rate the seller well though, they will do the right thing by you.

These batteries are decoded and will work fine with your camera. They will not be rejected.

To be honest I can't tell you. Also, E_PRANCE lost my returned camera and never issued me my $100+ I spent on the unit. If you order the unit do not send it back for repair.

Having purchased this battery, I reviewed it based on the fact that when I used it in my camera, occasionally during the shoot, the camera simply wouldn't fire. I'd then turn the camera off and then back on, shoot a few more frames, then same thing. I've since acquired another Canon brand battery, and retired this one to use as a "backup backup backup." After all, you never know, and if you truly run out all of your batteries and still need to shoot, having an unreliable battery is still better than having no battery at all. How long does the battery last? Can't say. . . got too frustrated with its unreliability to keep using it until it died. Sorry.

I purchased this to replace the one that came with my camera that stopped working. Can't answer about it's authenticity. The Canon name was not taped over on mine. It works fine and is identical to the one that came with my camera. Hope that helps.

In my experience .2 VDC should not have an effect as I think there is internal regulation. I did not measure my new STKs and cycle them through my EOS 6D regularly with excellent performance. HOWEVER, it would be good to contact STK (very responsive) and Canon (a little less so) and ask to put your mind at rest. This is not an inexpensive camera. Again, my experience is very good. I will buy again in a year; I run batteries only one year before replacement.

You didn't say what camera model you have. It might not be compatible with the batteries. Read the list of compatible cameras. Also, a Canon camera might not recognize another manufacturer batteries but it might still be fully functional. You just might not get a visual warning as to how much charge remains in the batteries. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is a genuine Canon battery. It shows the same battery onthe Canon website.

Yes I have the same camera and it works great. I use it as in extra battery, I have only used it a few times. I have only had it sence the holdays.

Thanks, not really an issue, grip works fine. I just wondered, since both batteries are always in play, why the shutter count for each battery and be different. A nit, really.

I am a private consumer not the supplier or product expert on this product. I, like you have purchased a battery due to needing a battery for my Olympus 720SW camera. Please check with the product manufacture or supplier for product specifications. Thanks and Happy New Year.

I am not sure if it is my camera that I purchased on Ebay or the battery. At any rate the camera will not keep a charge. I charge it put it in the camera take one picture which I cannot view and than it needs charging again.

I never experienced such drastic draining of charge when using those supplied batteries in the grip (when the camera was OFF). Mine is performing well. Please check if the same happens when (not using the grip) a single but different battery is installed in the body-if so contact the canon service; in the meanwhile, check all the contact pads in the grip for any short circuit. I hope you can figure it out easily.

I checked out what model my camera was and it is your EOS. It is an after market battery. Most brick&mortar stores don't carry batteries. My Best Buy salesman told me where to get them.

I have to believe that the manufacturer would claim that the battery was decoded if that were the case. If you are shooting mostly video and particularly long video segments this may not be the best choice. But if you shoot mostly photos it really doesn't matter if its decoded. When the battery runs dry stick in the next one. Even shooting video. After awhile you get a feel for battery length. I've never lost any footage. For the difference in price I've found these batteries to be a good value.

Well it depends on what you are running on the camera from what I can tell so far. My camera has been broken a few times so I haven't really had a chance to see the life of the battery. The battery that came with the camera was bad. It died within an hour and wouldn't hold a charge. Mind you the camera was purchased DIRECTLY from Olympus. That wasn't good to have a bad camera AND a bad battery. :( I got a replacement and it seems to work fine. But I can't give you a true time length as I haven't tested it yet past an hour or two with general use.
