If I use the regular battery that came with the 6D(Canon one) and an STK battery, will they both work well together and show appropriate information?

It depends on the battery manufacturer. Some of the non-Canon brand LPE6 batteries, such as those made by Wasabi and Maxtek, work fine. I've generally avoided unbranded batteries (if they won't proudly put their company's name on the battery, what else did they lowball?), but some of the unbranded LPE6's work just fine alongside Canon's, with full readouts (left and right batteries), etc. I generally pair two batteries from the same manufacturer in the multi-power grips for my EOSes. Really necessary for cold weather work, too.

I used both firmwares 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and they work fine on both. There was not a change in performance to either firmwares that we noticed during use. During our last event, my buddy was using the 6D with the 1.1.2 and I was using another with the 1.1.3, using the STK batteries - we both basically had to change batteries close to the same time.

If your 6D uses the same batteries as the 7D then I'd say yes you can use them. But check with your manual or better yet ask your camera salesman in any camera shop. I have used them in my 7D and they work great!

I do not have a 6D. On my 7D the need for the ST-E2 transmitter is eliminated since the function is built into the camera body. My understanding is the transmitter was useful for older model Canon cameras without this function.Peter Lenz

I updated my 6D's firmware to 1.1.3 and am using this STK battery with their charger and it seems to work perfectly. No error messages, long battery life, no worries.

I have owned three different (tho similar) Canon cameras and each has a (slightly) different battery and charger... so be careful.

Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch. The last time I used them, however, I was getting an error on one of them (the error that occurs when you use non-cannon battery...camera asks if you want to use anyway, but without info on battery). Swapped the batteries around, and the error moved with the battery. Assuming one of them is acting up. They are still working, and providing a LONG time between battery changes/charges; just unable to report battery life on one of them right now. I haven't bothered to look into the issue. For the price, i could easily just buy another one. Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch.

I have 2 different after market chargers (this being one of them) and have used 4 different brands of after market batteries in them and in the Canon charger. I bought dual chargers because I use a battery grip. All of the chargers worked with all of the mixed brand batteries and when I have had an issue with charging a specific battery it has always been the battery and not the charger. Since this is for a 6D (new to the market) I'm assuming that you just purchased this battery and you're attempting to charge it for the first time. I believe your issue is a bad battery and not a quirky charger. Hope this helped. P.S Nice camera, Enjoy!

I use the Canon charger and another non-name brand charger for this STK battery. As best I can tell there is no significant difference in the batteries other than branding and price.

Not sure if I completely understand the question, but I have used the STK in my D60 for several months with no problems.

I don't believe so. The pinouts on the Canon BG-E13 grip for the 6D and the BG-E14 for the 70D look physically the same and the two cameras take the same LP-E6 battery but the cameras themselves have different dimensions and a grip made for one may not conform to the shape of the other. http://www.eos-magazine.com/articles/power/Resources/Battgrip-table-2013.pdf is a good compatibility table outlining which Canon battery packs and battery grips fit into which Canon SLR and, for most Canon battery products there are equivalent aftermarket items.

In my experience .2 VDC should not have an effect as I think there is internal regulation. I did not measure my new STKs and cycle them through my EOS 6D regularly with excellent performance. HOWEVER, it would be good to contact STK (very responsive) and Canon (a little less so) and ask to put your mind at rest. This is not an inexpensive camera. Again, my experience is very good. I will buy again in a year; I run batteries only one year before replacement.

Works fine in the 6D. has the coulomb counter chip, so the 6D will give %charge.

You didn't say what camera model you have. It might not be compatible with the batteries. Read the list of compatible cameras. Also, a Canon camera might not recognize another manufacturer batteries but it might still be fully functional. You just might not get a visual warning as to how much charge remains in the batteries. Hope this helps.

Depends. I bought the Wasabi batteries and charger back in December 2012. At that time, The batteries were not "Canon 6D" compatible. So when you put them into the Canon charger it'd blink in error, in 6D it is listed as non compatible battery but still would work if your override that message. I think sometime after that, they have update the Battery where it works well on 6D, at least to the people who have responded to my original post. I have not purchased additional "updated" wasabi batteries. I'm pretty sure the Wasabi charger charges the Canon battery, but I did not test it for a full charge. Just short plug in to see what happens. Hope that answers your question. Depends. I bought the Wasabi batteries and charger back in December 2012.

I did a little research on the Canon Website, and it seems that your camera takes an NB-6LH battery, which has a slightly different mAh than this battery. So the short answer is: NO.

LP-E5 refers to the battery format. STK refers to the manufacturer. Neither the batteries nor the charger are made by Canon, they are made by STK. My impression (I do not have data) is that the STK batteries do not hold a charge quite as long as the Canon batteries, but they certainly have more battery life per dollar than the Canon. I bought 2 STK batteries (and a charger) for less than a single Canon battery. Now I always have a spare battery (and a spare charger). Having a spare battery is a bigger deal than having a little more charging time. The charger works great also.
