GREAT AND CHEAP BATTERIES FOR EOS-M

[surapon]

Dear Friend fotorex.
Give me 2-3 more days, And I report back to you, Yes, I want to see how the discharged Battery react to the Battery Icon at the LCD.
Have a great weekend.
Surapon

Hello surapron,

did you meanwhile gathered more experiences with these batteries?

Regards
Frank

Yes, Dear friend fotorex.
Past two weeks, I shoot EOS-M with cheap and Great Chinese made Batteries, more than 1500 Photos---Every thing in front of me---Just Shoot and Shoot.
I report that :
Canon LP-E12 7.2 V 875 mAh. ( I have 2 of Them ) = $ 45 US Dollars/ Each = 150 to 180 Photos per Full Charged @ 2 Hours.
Wasabi 7.2 V, 1100 mAh ( I have 2 of Them) = $ 12 US Dollars/ Each = 250-275 Photos per Full Charge @ 2 Hours.
Halcyon 7.2V, 2200 mAh ( I have 4 of them) = $ 9.50 US Dollars/ Each = 350 t0 425 Photos per Charge @ 2 Hours ( Sorry Past 3-5 days = Super Cold in my Home town = Below freezing Point)

BIG BUT----Both Wasabi batteries and Halcyon Batteries are not show the Power ( Green Color Symbol---Just White and Black Icon) on the Battery Icon in the Camera LCD---When Out of Power, Just shut off the Camera's Power----Yes, That is the Inconvenience, But , Not my Problem, Because I alway check, How many Photos that I shoot from the Starting Point, and have 3-4 spare batteries ready to roll.
Have a great Weekend.

Thank you dear Surapon,

it really does not seem to be a problem that the real power consumption is not displayed correctly on the LCD when one
1. has enough spare batteries with him/her
2. is able to take up to 2.5 times more photos with one charge cycle than with the OEM batterie and keep the starpoint of picture count in mind when attached the batterie.

And at that price ($9.50 each batterie) you can easily buy 4 of them for the price of one OEM batterie.

Frank

Dear Frank.
I just remember that., One of our friend , CR member told me on another post that = The Product from China always try to cut the cost down for sell to us super cheap, and For the Batteries, They not install the Computer chip in the battery, That why, the Battery will not report the power status to the camera= Just Dumb Battery, But working Hard Batteries-----Ha, Ha, Ha---Working hard with out Brain.
Have a great Weekend.

Hi khun Surapon, tell me, why do thai girls want to look like Western girls? I never understood that! Haha
Thai beaty ideal is so Western!

Thank you for posting about the third-party batteries, do you know if they are also made for canon 5dii, 5diii or 7d? Halcyon is an American company, but it has a different logo, they make computers. I can't find a Chinese company called Halcyon (sounds more Korean!) and there is no Chinese text in the pictures you posted. Where can I find these batteries? On Amazon? Oh, I checked Amazon, they also have batteries for 5d ii and 5d and 7d! Great!

www.amazon.com/Halcyon-Lithium-Replacement-Battery-Charger/dp/B00GS93FEK/?ie=UTF8&qid=1391264874&keywords=halcyon+5d
http://www.amazon.com/Macro-Close-Halcyon-Batteries-Bundle/dp/B00ENHL2X0/?ie=UTF8&qid=1391264892&keywords=halcyon+7d

Has anyone tested these for the 5-series or 7d? Do they work well? Are they safe? Are they reliable?

I almost forgot! alibaba is not the most reliable place, many companies of bad repute deal on alibaba... There are better websites to buy from China but you have to read Chinese or use a translator!

Sawat dee kaa, khun Surapon, mai pen thai khon! Pen yureethia... Yes, I noticed the aegyosal on the girls above, ha ha! Korean influence

I have found different branded 3rd party batteries near me, but I don't know about those brands... They are all different brands, very hard to know if they are good or not! But maybe I will order some and try them

Are they all safe? So they don't explode in the camera or anything? If they're safe then maybe I can try all the different ones!

Have a nice weeked as well, khun Surapon!

These cheap batteries keep calling my name ... but I resist..waiting for more feedback from users here to report on accurate battery level display and total shot count. Also would like to hear about how hot the battery gets when fully charged...and perhaps how hot it gets after a good shoot.

As mentioned previously there is a good reason usually why they are cheap. I am willing to live with short battery life for such a price but not really interested if it takes the camera with it.

Yes, Dear my friend East Wind .
These Cheap Batteries " Halcyon" LP-E12,2200 mAh = $ 9.50 US Dollars call my name out Loud too----Ha, Ha, Ha---Past 3 days, I have use This Cheapo Chinese made Battery = 1 Battery, with 1 Full charge at 2 Hours--And I use up to 15 minutes ago, to shoot every thing in front of me, both single shots and Conti. Shots = 595 Photos, Still have Power to go, ( BUT, The Battery ICON at the EOS-M Camera = Still Full= )
. Every 20-30 shots, I open and remove the Battery from the Chamber, to check the Temperature of Battery, No, From my hand, The Battery Temperature do not get Warmer---Yes, I am afraid that this HALCYON battery might blow up my $ 299 US Dollar EOS-M----Sorry, My lovely EOS-M still work Fine and my fingers still intact..

Now To night, I remove the Battery and Recharge It, Next 2 Hours---And See, What will happend to my Cheapo Battery next.
I will shoot another 500-600 more Photos by this new recharge Halcyon battery, and use it again tomorrow, And I will report back to you.
YES, IF NEXT TWO RECHARGES OF THIS CHEAPO BATTERY AND WORK AS CHARM LIKE MY FIRST CHARGE = YES, I WILL CALL THE MFG. IN CHINA, AND OFFER TO BUY THE COMPANY STOCK TOO.

Yes, As 64-almost 65 years honor old man as me, and tell you from my heart, This Cheapo Battery make me believe in MAGIC.----Well, If you do not see or hear from me next 2-3 days, I might die because the explosion of rechargable Chinese made LP-E12 battery, That I charge near my desk.
Have a good Monday Night.
Surapon

Now that you have had many cycles of battery charging i was wondering if you had any more insight on these 3rd party batteries and if the battery life is reported properlyy in the camera...

...also wondering if they have burned up yet!

Now that you have had many cycles of battery charging i was wondering if you had any more insight on these 3rd party batteries and if the battery life is reported properlyy in the camera...

...also wondering if they have burned up yet!

Dear friend East Wind.
Yes, I use Both Wasabi power and Halcyon ( 4 of each brand name) for 2weeks about 3 cycle of charge per battery, It keep the power for 300 to 450 Each shots, Which better than my 2 Canon batteries ( only 120 to 180 Shots)----BIG BUT, This Wasabi and Halcyon batteries do not show the Power in Canon EOS-M LCD. Because No computer chip in the battery ( That why so cheap)----When it no power---Just turn the Camera Off. YES, I must have the spare batteries in my pocket all the times.
That is only Bad Thing after 3 Cycle charge these Batteries----NO, Not thing blow up in my EOS-M Yet.
After the Battery out of Power, IT STILL COLD TEMPERATURE, Not Hot as the stove range----Ha, Ha, Ha.
Have a great Workweek.
