    smallriglpe6nh 728x364 - SmallRig announces LP-E6NH battery for Canon, priced at $39.99 USD.

    SmallRig has launched an LP-E6NH battery for Canon cameras. This new battery has some improvements over Canon's OEM offerings. SmallRig's battery 2400mah capacity, which is a bit more than Canon's 2130mah. There is also a USB-C port on the battery for charging, which is a pretty nice feature. When using 5v 2.2A charging, the battery is fully charged in 2.5 hours using a USB-C cable.

    These batteries are also fully compatible with dedicated battery chargers from Canon or third-parties.

    The new SmallRig battery features frosted ABS and PC shell, which is fire-resistant and durable. The battery is also slightly lighter than Canon at 105g, compared to 113g.

    The best part for most people? The $39.99 USD price tag. Currently, the Canon LP-E6NH is $79 USD.

    SmallRig LP-E6NH Key Features

    • USB-C charging port supports power bank, power strip, car charger, or other special chargers
    • Pioneering high-current charging (5V 2.2A) makes the battery fully charged in 2.5 hours
    • 2400mAh nominal capacity for longer run time
    • Visually distinctive color
    • Fully decoded, wide compatibility, no pop-ups
    • Quality battery cell, with a safe and reliable circuit for stable voltage and current output
    • Battery Weight: 105g (Canon OEM 113g)

    First shipments of the new battery will begin on July 30, 2023, and for now, only to the USA.

    2. I think it has been posted here before — Patona offers fully decoded LP-E17 batteries (the ones with USB-C input however are not).
      I've using their LP-E6NH in my R6 for some time now and cannot find any difference between those and the original Canon battery. The Patona LP-E6NH have a nominally higher capacity of 2250 mAh compared to the 2130 mAH of the original, but I have not done any 'scientific' tests comparing run times.

      Edit: Here in Germany Amazon offers a double pack Patona LP-E6NH for €66,90
    3. Usually, isn't a particular curve applied by the charger to the current which varies in dependency to the state of charge? I suppose, this wouldnt happen if one omits the charger and use a simple USB cable connected to a power source with a constant current like a computer's USB port or similar.
    7. If it’s really fully decoded, this sounds like a great alternative to the OEM versions.

      How about a fully decoded LP-E17?
      Patona just released fully decoded LP-E17. Didn't test them yet, but friend who did told me.

      They have been on the Patona website for a loooong time, but perpetually out of stock. If you can never order them, do they actually exist?
    10. I saw a photo on friends instastories like 3 days ago, so sure they do.
      I was on their notification list and got a reminder that they are in stock again just a week or two ago.

      The battery will have a inbuilt charging circuit for the usb socket. Charging a lithium battery is fairly straight forward - current limited until the battery reaches it's design voltage then constant voltage. The current will then slowly drop as the internal resistance increase. Eventually the charger will cut of once the current has dropped to a low enough value.
    13. the EOS R doesn't accept LP-E6NH batteries.

      ?!?!? Are you sure? That's frankly impossible, the difference between E6, E6N and E6NH is just the mAh, the capacity/duration. I don't see any way in which the EOS R is not compatible with the new batteries.
      The thing is some advanced functions of the new cameras cannot be carried out by old batteries because they won't provide enough peak power; but compatibility for normal use is always guaranteed in cameras with batteries of the same "family".
    16. Could be interesting, if you can still get Green H+ mode with them.

      I ordered a couple of these just now to add to our ongoing LP-E6 variant review (https://camnostic.com/2021/02/powering-the-eos-r5/). In terms of getting Green H+, it's very likely that these will achieve that. The question is for how long.

      Canon's OEM batteries typically keep the green H+ capacity all the way through about 65 percent of battery use. We tested a couple dozen of them, and it was pretty consistent. Of the four non-Canon LP-e6NH batteries (those not reporting as NH cannot do green H+), they average about 25 percent of battery use before the green H+ capacity goes away. Interestingly, if you had a third party battery and a Canon battery in a battery grip together, green H+ would be available using both batteries all the way down to the level at which Canon's crapped out.
    18. At this price there is no reason not to try one. Small Rig makes great products. Their NPF and V-Mounts are top notch. They have put a dent in Anton Bauer and FXLIONS's sales for sure.
    19. Yes, it does. I've used them in an R just fine. You just can't charge them in-camera:

      Well that's great news!!! I'm going state-side in August and I'll be getting a couple of these new patona batteries then :) thx for the info!!!

      Canon Germany only has the LP-E6 and LP-E6N listed for the R, so does Amazon.de...
      They probably don't list the LP-E6NH because people will complain it can't be charged in the camera.
