Canon LP-E6, Charging Kit

Wasabi Power Canon LP-E6 Charging Kit — Two Travel Backup Batteries for the Price of a Lunch

The gist: A 2-battery + charger kit for Canon LP-E6‑compatible bodies (5D series, 6D series, 7D series, R, R5, R6, BMPCC) that gives traveling photographers a full backup power supply without paying Canon OEM prices — at ~$23 for the entire kit.

• Two batteries in one kit: Swapping between a fully charged spare during a long shooting day on location removes battery anxiety entirely — especially relevant when access to charging is limited or unpredictable while traveling.
• Fully decoded capacity display: Both batteries communicate remaining charge percentage directly to compatible Canon bodies — no guessing or unmarked indicator; you see exact battery level the same as with OEM Canon cells.
• Wide Canon body compatibility: Works with EOS 5D Mark II through IV, 6D/6D Mark II, 7D/7D Mark II, 80D, 90D, EOS R, R5, R6, XC10, XC15, and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras.
• 3-year manufacturer warranty: Wasabi covers both batteries for three years — meaningful for accessories that degrade with charge cycles over multi-year travel use.

Photographer Gregory Varghese tested Wasabi LP-E6 batteries on his Canon 5D Mark III and found that “having 4 batteries at the same price means that I don’t really notice the difference,” adding that Wasabi’s warranty service made him “a customer for life.”

Best for: Canon-system travel photographers who want affordable backup batteries and a spare charger to carry independently while traveling. Skip it if: you’re shooting critical once-in-a-lifetime events where maximum per-cell capacity is essential — OEM Canon batteries are rated at higher capacity and some users report third-party cells underperform their spec.
