Haven't seen this discussed yet, but wondering if the 5D MK III will be able to take the LP-E6N. Seems the only difference is the LP-E6N has 200mA more juice, and I am suspecting Canon looks at the battery in firmware, but wondering if in the future with a firmware upgrade, the 5DMK III will be able to take advantage of stronger and likely longer lasting batteries from the 7D MK II
LP-E6N in 5DMK III
- Thread starter Maui5150
- Start date
I think it will work.
I will ask for confirmation tomorrow at Photokina and let you know the results.

We need someone who has used the new battery for 1D X (LP-E4N) in a 1DsIII, 1DIII or 1DIV and can tell if it had a longer life compared to the LP-E4.

There is a earlier post about the new battery, the LP-E4N has a higher capacity as well as circuitry changes. The LP-E6N will work in all cameras that used the LP-E6, the LP-E6 will no longer be made now that a safer battery is available.

That wouldn't be a directly useful comparison: the LP-E4N is advertised as having an additional 150 mA·h capacity over the LP-E4, while the capacity for the LP-E6 and E6N is advertised at 1800 mA·h.

You're right, and it practically makes this thread irrelevant. It seems the only difference in LP-E6 and LP-E6N is in charging setup as per regulation changes. I wonder where this titbit came from?

If the N batteries are built to more recent Japanese safety standards, they might end up being easier to carry on flights; they're small compared to laptop batteries but non-trivial. Other than that I don't see any reason other than availability to make the change.

LP-E6N on the 7D MK II
Hi all,
I read/heard somewhere (can't remember where now grrr) that the 7D MK II will also accept the 'old' LP-E6 batteries, and not just the newer higher capacity LP-E6N. Does anyone know if the reverse is true? Would the LP-E6N work on a 7/6/5D?
Also, given the likelihood of the 5D MKIV probably having the same new battery, what do you think the chances of it also accepting the older LP-E6?

Re: LP-E6N on the 7D MK II
I had the same question and got this reply from Canon Pro Service.
Thank you for contacting Canon product support. I understand that you have questions about the LP-E6n and LP-E6. I can address this.
The LP-E6n and LP-E6 use the same charger. However, regarding backward compatibility of the LP-E6n with previous models that use the LP-E6, additional compatibility information is still pending.
Please feel free to contact us with any other questions or concerns. Thank you for choosing Canon.
Sincerely,

Re: LP-E6N on the 7D MK II
The advertised figures show no difference in capacity between them, so why worry?
