Many Canon shooters have strong opinions on whether it's best to go with only genuine Canon camera accessories or save money with a compatible third party. The same argument is often debated with Canon batteries vs.
I have purchased both Canon-made batteries and replacement batteries and gotten good results with both.
See the Canon battery compatibility chart below. I purchased two Canon-made LP-E6 batteries with the camera and they work like a charm, so I haven't had to employ a battery replacement strategy on them yet.
Canon's 60D battery is rated at mAh. DSLR batteries are rated for the total amount of capacity by milliamp hours which is abbreviated as mAh. Some of the replacement batteries for your 60D have a little less capacity. The O riginal E quipment M anufacturer OEM one that came with the camera was quite old and has gone off to battery heaven.
In my opinion, one of the shortcomings in Canon's camera designs has been the lack of a more sophisticated battery meter. The 2-bar meters on top of my Canon 20D and 5D are not only inadequate. They are also inaccurate as well. My official Canon 60D Battery Replacement Strategy is to save your money and go 3rd party for your battery. I give you that advice with only three cautions. Save your money on batteries and use it to get other valuable Canon Camera Accessories.

Be safe with the Canon or risk a third party manufacturer? It's been around for a while, but it's till selling at a brisk pace. I was using ND Grad filters and was using live view to position the filters. I had live view on a lot. I was shocked when all of a sudden I was totally out of batteries. I only took 40 or so shots but had live view displayed for a lot of the time. From the time I made it to the beach to the time the batteries were dead was no more than 1 hour or so.
I am thinking that having the live view on that much ate the batteries up. What do you think? Also both batteries are brand new. I usually get around shots with my gripped 60D without using live view. Of course, however, your batteries may be tired and they may not be giving out as much juice as they used to.
How's the batteries' recharge performance? Are the batteries third party batteries or genuine Canon batteries? You also say that the batteries were "brand new", did you fully charge them before use? Sometimes, you need to charge batteries a few times before they achieve their full capacity. Are they both the same? I can shoot for almost all day with the battery grip and 2 batts in my 60d, though live view is a killer, approximately hours with the screen on all the time for me and about shots My 3rd party batteries last a lot longer than Canon though I always take three spares www.
Thank you everyone. The batteries were new but fully charged. One is a canon batter they other a 3rd party. Also, I did not turn the power on the battery grip. The other kind of weird thing is that I put one battery in the charger and it was fully charged in less than 2 hours and the other one in about an hour. Should charging be so quick? I would say the live view is draining your battery. Try lowering ur brightness and shut off time. Canon 60D Gripped mm f3.
I have two batteries and I only charge them every weeks. I can get well over and probably with the two batts. If the batteries are of different capacities, the one with the lower capacity may cause the second one higher capacity to drain faster. That said, in North America, battery packs from Wasabi have gained a good reputation, while in Europe, replacement power packs from Patona have received many favorable reviews.
In any case, the existing comparisons tend to find that the cheapest of the generic replacement packs score worse in terms of achieving their rated capacity, holding their charge over time, or allowing for a large number of charge-discharge cycles than somewhat pricier battery packs or the genuine Canon offer.
Thus, the old adage, "If the price sounds too low to be true, it probably is" has some merit with respect to camera batteries also. You can check the current offers and prices for the original LP-E6 and its clones by using the buttons below. Several other cameras from Canon are powered by the same type of lithium-ion pack. The adjacent table lists some of them along with a selection of their headline specifications.
As such it is an indispensable camera accessory. Below are some additional questions and answers concerning some particular aspects of the battery pack and Lithium-Ion power units more generally. Canon offers the CBC-E6 here at amazon to charge the battery pack from the standard lighter outlet of a car.
No, Canon supplies this battery pack only in black. However, some generic alternatives from third party providers might be available in other colors. No, the battery is specifically designed for use in the Canon 60D and other selected cameras from Canon. Lithium-ion batteries can hold a charge for a long time. However, these battery packs have a safety mechanism built-in that disables any re-charge if the voltage drops below a certain minimum level. To avoid this safety-trigger to be activated, the battery pack should be charged at least once every few months.
The contents of Lithium-Ion batteries is under pressure and the packs can explode if exposed to extreme heat. Lithium-Ion battery units should therefore never be incinerated and should not be thrown into the household trash, but put into the recycling stream. Most places that sell camera batteries will also accept them back for recycling. A potelyt.
