Canon LP-E12 Battery Pack

Charges up fast and holds its charge for weeks in my bag, so I never worry about grabbing a dead battery mid-shoot. The lithium-ion build feels solid and lighter than the OEM one I was using before.

I can finally shoot an entire wedding without swapping batteries mid-ceremony—this pack easily lasts over five hours of continuous use. The lithium-ion hold is noticeably better than my old generic one.

My old battery would die halfway through an afternoon of shooting, but this one keeps going well past the point where I'd normally have to pack up. The rechargeable lithium-ion cell holds its charge nicely between uses, so it's ready when I grab the camera.
