I replaced both Canon battery cells in LP-E6N (NRC18500, 3.7V, 2040mAh). After charging in the Canon charger and inserting it into the camera, the indicator still shows me the wrong performance level - 1x red bar. Does anyone know why 3 green bars do not appear after exchanging battery cells to new one?
It depends on how the issue is presenting itself. These aftermarket battery packs are using super cheap Chinese cells that are probably $0.50-$0.80 each which tend to fail.
Thanks for the good info (albeit a little slow paced). In my case I replaced the batteries with a couple of 18500 I got from eBay and it worked fine. I have yet to see how long they last.
samacochan 18500s are much smaller than 18650s! The mAh is just an attribute of the format so you don't really have much choice AFAIK. I got two "Efest IMR 18500 1000mAh LiMn" that you will find on eBay for around USD9 each and soldered them with a (good) iron and they worked OK so far.
@@hernancoronel Did you replace the cells in an original canon LPE6? How's that working for you? My batteries are near the end of their life and rather than buying new ones (at 60$ each) I thought I'd buy Panasonic 18500 2000mah cells and solder them in place of the original 1830 mah cells.
ASJC27 hi I did and it's working very well. The only issue is take your time opening it so that you can close it as best as you can. I bought the cells on eBay for a very good price and I don't recall the exact price but it surely was a much better price. I wish you success!
@@hernancoronel Thanks! Did you notice if the "recharge performance" indicator (setup menu -> battery info) was reset after replacing the cells? Mine is showing bad (1/3) and I'm a bit worried that it won't reset and maybe the controller will limit the charge going into the new cells or maybe even limit the battery's discharge rate/capacity.
I have 5 batteries for my Canon camera. 2 are original and 3 are cheaper made in China. Both original battery are completely dead, all cheaper made in China are working as hell :)
i have used the MaximalPower batteries that i purchased after i got my 60D. After 7 years, the Canon battery was the first to go. Poor recharge and few shots. the MaximalPowers are still good to go! Just bought two more. BTW, they are rated for 2000mAh, where as the Canon is 1800mAh. I looked at other brands with grandiose claims of more mAhours, but not buying it.
My canon orginal battery it's fail☠ But solved this problem I bouhgt a new battery not canon original but expensive battery now I use my camera it's very well👌
Yes, poor soldering job! You need to heat up the surface first and when its hot enough you just melt the rosin solder on that surface! Otherwise its a cold solder joint and probably doesn't stay longer as the cheap welding points. Its even better to tin all surfaces first and then solder them together!
