Is this battery decoded? Does it communicates with the Canon EOS series cameras, so that I can always check the remaining capacity, shutter count ?

Don't know about the remaining shots, but it does communicate with the camera re remaining battery power.
1887119
These are generic batteries. The camera does display the remaining capacity. However, they do not have the circuitry as OEM Canon batteries, therefore, they do not have the electronic serial number for the camera to track the shutter count.

Sorry for the delay in response...I have the canon sl1 and i can tell you that it shows the remaining level of power on the battery and the number of shots i can take..hope that helps.

Clifford, I am not a very constantly-taking photographer, so with my new Canon SX260 which I bought in October of 2012 I have taken only 171 photos. The original battery which I charged when I received the camera is still going strong, with full bars in the camera's battery icon. I cannot guess how much longer it will go before recharging, but I am well satisfied with the battery so far. It is a real Canon NB-6L-Ion battery, not one of the cheaper non-Canon batteries available at a much lower price. I cannot speak for those, but have bought another real Canon battery which is charged and ready to go when the original battery needs its first re-charge. Hope this helps you somewhat.

I checked out what model my camera was and it is your EOS. It is an after market battery. Most brick&mortar stores don't carry batteries. My Best Buy salesman told me where to get them.

Yes, it is a genuine Canon battery. It shows the same battery onthe Canon website.

No they're not, that's why I was skeptical myself, but I've already used them for several photo shoots; they totally work as long as my old batteries whatever the brand name is. But yeah they're not canon.

Decoding simply means an electronic communication between the camera and the battery regarding the current level of the battery power. Without proper decoding, the camera does not know what is the percentage of battery power remaining, so it keeps showing 100% full, where, in reality, it may be about to get over. When using WASABI batteries, the camera will keep showing 100% power, and suddenly the camera will no battery. As long as you have a spare (and charged) battery, this is never an issue for me.

Who knows? Information on this camera seems to be a closely guarded secret. I would like to send Canon an instruction manual of my own describing what they can do with this camera.

Absolutely Not! It's just a generic, dedicated battery w/ contact points that work on any Canon camera that calls for an LP-E8 battery. I've given this Wasabi battery power pack the best rating of any accessories I've purchased for my camera so far... They're still in my battery grip and have been using without having to re-charge or swap-out for 2 weeks now. Buy in confidence... Have Fun!

No, this is NOT a Canon battery. It's the same battery that came with my Powershot SX700. The only difference I notice is that is doesn't say Canon on it, and it's over $30 less expensive.

Sorry I have no idea. If you currently have a battery in your camera, you can type in the number and it will tell you

The package says the battery is made for Canon but it is not made by Canon. It is a substitute.

I don`t know what you mean by decoded? However, mine work as well as the Olympus supplied OEM battery. You can`t charge using OEMhrger. You MUST charge using the one supplied with the two battery kit Testing $20.00 is worth it. ORDER IT!

I had a similar situation for which I promptly emailed the shipper and am awaiting an answer. Part of my email to them goes like this: "The original (battery) says: 7.2V 1120mAh 8.1Wh(Li-ion) while the ones you sent have a slightly different label: 7.4V 1350mAh Li-ion". I wonder if the shipper even knows about batteries or just sells stuff. We'll see I guess. At least no one that I've read (so far) says their camera is ruined, other than the one person whose battery is stuck inside. Mine seem to work fine (are easily installed and released) and fit on the charger without a problem.

I never experienced such drastic draining of charge when using those supplied batteries in the grip (when the camera was OFF). Mine is performing well. Please check if the same happens when (not using the grip) a single but different battery is installed in the body-if so contact the canon service; in the meanwhile, check all the contact pads in the grip for any short circuit. I hope you can figure it out easily.

S.R.,I just ordered a battery that "may" work, based on all the information I could find. I'll post the results when I can verify it works or not with as many details as possible, including the firmware my G1 has. It may be @10 days before I receive and thoroughly test it.I'm still interested in any and all suggestions. It may be helpful to other users, too. I can try not to update the camera, but some of the lenses get firmware updates too.Thanks for taking the time to reply.

If you mean does the battery support the decoding by the camera to show actual power levels, yes, the ones I received do.

Only if it says its a genuine Canon battery will it be a genuine Canon battery. If the seller doesn't say, its probably not. The battery I purchased was genuine but the seller indicated it was genuine.
