Re: Is it Genuine? Canon LP-E6 Battery [SOLVED]

code on the top right of the blue.

If you are talking about the 2INR19/50 then that is smth my "Made in China" is missing. (And also not to be found on the others.)

I am also going to contact my guy at Canon Australia and suss it out.

Yep, I guess asking Canon would be the best solution.

I guess it isn't 'Solved' just yet. Sorry guys jumped the gun.

Please keep this thread updated.
Thanks in advance,

Weird. I looked at Canon's battery comparison page (at http://www.canon.com.au/en-AU/Personal/Support-Help/Support-News/Counterfeit-products) and both my LP-E6s (one from the original/new 5D3 box, one purchased new at B&H separately) appear to have the bold font of a counterfeit battery. Every other feature looks similar to the genuine battery however. I have had worse battery performance than other Canon DSLRs (300-500 shots per charge) so I have to wonder if somehow counterfeit batteries were snuck into the supply chain.
