I have here a 5D3 with the original LP-E6 battery which I bought in May/2015. In that occasion I also bought a extra (expensive!!) LP-E6N (they were not selling the LP-E6 anymore).
Just after the 1-year warranty expired, the LP-E6N lost a green dot in the battery info screen, was taking about 200 shots less than the LP-E6 and now it also became very hard to charge.
I keep getting the quick blinking orange light (meaning bad communication) and in order to get it working I have to repeatedly remove it from the charger, clean the contacts, unplug the charger and try again. I was getting it in the first try, but now takes me 4-5 attempts.
As of today, the LP-E6 that came with the camera charges properly, still shows all 3 green dots and takes more shots. And I've always used them by alternating (roughly 1 full battery use every 3 days), so they endured the same amount.
This LP-E6N has been quite a disappointment to me. Any ideas on how to make it at least charge properly?
