Had to learn that the hard way. When I was starting out I had a Nikon d3100 and I bought a knockoff battery and it was bloated after the first time that I used it

[jannis]

I am working a lot on electronics and I would definitely say that buying an non OEM battery is perfectly fine as long as it is a good quality one. The battery cells are manufactured by a third party anyway and from my experience the OEM part usually uses good medium quality cells. This means although you receive a decent product there is some room for improvement. Since the manufacturers are not transparent about their suppliers you have to know from experience which are better and which are worse.

I avoid using third party batteries in my R6, but found good third party batteries for a similar price range ($30-35 CAD) that outperformed my older LP-E6 batteries in many DSLRs. They work fine in my R6 too, but don't last as long as the LP-E6 NH do

[Ipsissimus]

Never had an issue with cheaper batteries on my SONY A7 III. I definitely cheap out on them.

[psaxena]

Understood thnks for the info bro keep growing

The Baxxtar LP-E6NH batteries with the Eos R are fantastic! 1400 shots and 28% still in the batteries!🤘🏼

[Abhidoesfirestuff]

Electrical engineer here, can explain the reason behind that, the knock off batteries cannot provide enough current to the camera, it requires a lot of current to flow at a Conti rate to do those continuous burst shots which the cheap batteries struggle with, why they do ?, Cause they don't have more number of lithium / metal sheet in them or a lower grade electrolyte that cannot just give huge amps stably 👍

I bought a used 70d and it came with a kastar 3rd party battery, needless to say it works a charm, havent had a issue, yet.

[lightningblender]

Let me add to that: a German channel now called Davision made a video comparing all brands he could find for the LP-E6NH and his result was:
A lot of the knockoffs didn’t have an actual temperature resistor (RTD) but only a static resistor. This can get dangerous when charging.
Most of the knockoffs had highly inferior internal load balancing, if any at all. The two lithium cells need to be charged and discharged equally otherwise the performance drops off fast.
His conclusion also was: buy Canon. Although 3-6x more expensive. It also lasts years without significant drop in capacity. His original battery retained something like 97% of the original capacity after about 1 year while the knockoffs fell below 70%.

That's true both for two knock offs for my camera and for two knock offs for my battery powered drill. The drill doesn't spin as fast and my camera can't do burst shots well with those as with the original battery.

Having one just for backup not so much to count on working but to have just in case is always nice

[gaijininja]

And sometimes on the flip side, they are generic labeled OEM batteries, the licensed manufacturer sells as their own, at a minimum profit rate. They move a hundred times more of the product than the very same named product, and as such, keep sales down and prices up in the licensed product, and shipping more and more of their generic ones.

I use aftermarket battery for my Fuji XE1 (from Hähnel) and they are more than sufficient. At least they last way longer than the old original battery 😅

[kpluk]

There are high end battery manufacturers who make them. They are in general really good. They also can't afford to be too bad

[johnfairweather]

I worked shooting sports for a guy who bought knockoff Nikon batteries from China. They were crap, died quickly, and ruined one of the cameras. You get what you pay for.

[KevTheMedic]

Been using Ravpower LP-6s and based on the cameras diagnostics the OEM Battery’s life depleted more than the “knock offs” with same use lol

[chrisbramasco]

I have 3 legit Sony NP-FW100’s and 2 “fake” ones and it’s a good setup, using the real ones first the the aftermarket ones as a backup but it rarely gets to that point

[bobbyberserk]

I've bought knock offs a lot and the only difference is they don't last as long as the oem

[vueport]

If you get well made third party batteries they are really good. Of course for casual users original batteries are better since you won't run out of battery these days since one fully charged battery last 1000 shots. The third party batteries I bought last 95% as long. Stuttering is due mostly to full buffer when I shoot birds and your cheap memory card can't keep up. Has nothing to do with battery in my years of experience.

Love your channel but many of these advice are inaccurate.

My advice, save money on the batteries, get the fastest memory card if you're always doing long bursts.

One thing you don't want to cheap out on is getting the best possible flash you can. That means the most expensive one made by the brand.

[SwapkillProject]

Honestly it’s sad that it’s unlikely to get official ones in Lazada it’s probably more better to buy it from the stores instead yet its canna be so expensive 😅
