I have never had any issues with firmware updates when using these batteries in 4 different Canon cameras. Why do you expect an issue?

I have both a 50D and a 70D so I feel there should not be a problem. And with Amazon you do have a 30 day return policy should there be an issue.

Here is the phone number to customer service at the vendor, Blue Nook. I talked to Terry. 877-268-1235

Not sure if this will help or not. I bought the same battery for my Nikon D3100 some time ago and it worked fine. Nikon then released a firmware upgrade for the D3100 and apparently this upgrade stopped the Wasabi battery from being compatible. Fortunately (for me) I read about the incompatibility before I knew that the Nikon upgrade was available so never installed the new firmware. I suspect that something similar has happened with the D5100.

It appears the problem is not with discharge, but with the software that tells you the battery is discharged, and then shuts the camera off automatically. The battery is actually fine. Problem is, Canon says the issue requires a firmware upgrade for certain serial numbers, not others. So I have a camera with a serial number that supposed does not require an upgrade, but it still has the problem. So now I have to deal with customer support and that whole thing. Not something I'm eager to do on a brand new product.

Mine works fine. Just returned from Africa and took 846 pics, that battery lasted 3 1/2 days on one charge Constant picture taking. Charged up with charger that came with camera. Everything worked perfectly.

Works with a 7d. Will last about 6-9 months and then leave you in trouble. They just die. No warning no decrease in battery meter. Just dead in the middle of a shoot.

Thanks for the link, Repro. I'm in the process of ordering a battery as I type this. According to the reviews of the battery, all zs3 owners/reviewers are reporting success with this battery no matter what firmware the camera has. Thanks again for the info.

The company I ordered the batteries sent me different batteries than the ones listed which solved the problem. My advice is that if they don't specifically say they work with 6D then don't buy them.

Previous version of these LP-E6 batteries where not recognized by Canon 6D. However, just yesterday I got a replacement from Blue Nook. New ones ARE recognized by both - 6D camera and Canon charger with comes with 6D.

I, too, am using the 1200 mAh battery in my Lumix FZ150, as well as the 7.2 v 895mAh. No problems at all.

I am not that familiar with 6D, but it in fact uses a LP-E6 battery and the Photive is supposed to be an equal. I looked at the list of cameras that it is compatible with, but for some reason it does not list the 6D. I once ordered an Opteka replacement battery and the box was marked correctly, but the battery inside was not the correct one. Might double check that.

I've got the firmware update and I've had the battery replacement for about a year and a half now and so far I haven't had any issues with it. My Zen gets used quite frequently as well. Hope this bit of info helps out.

Thanks CAMPJEEP.Most of my photos will be outside, so it sounds like I should be able to expect well over the stated 260 shots (CIPA standards).I'll purchase a backup battery to be safe. Probably the Maximal after market battery listed here on Amazon. Only $3.45 and the reviewers say that it lasts as long as Canon's.Thanks again.

Worked great for me on my DV6t-1000, I was also able to turn the old battery in to be recycled at my local Home Depot. Saw some of the negative comments, so don't know if I was lucky or if whatever problems they had have been fixed. Still, 1 yr warranty and "fulfilled" through Amazon, so probably pretty safe even if you get a dud.

I received one Canon and one generic battery that works fine. This particular lithium battery for this camera is easy to get and very inexpensive. Both batteries last forever with this camera. I think you'll be pleased with the results obtained with the 6D. Know anyone who wants a slightly-used 20D?

Just fixed mine. Thanks for the tip. My question is, has any been able to let Canon know about this? They should have it in the manual. You can search for 6C10 and it is not listed. I'm going to try to call them to complain.

Yes, I have. I bought two of the batteries to extend the time I had taking photos and video when we went to Switzerland and Italy last September. They were great to have as spares since using the video uses up the battery quickly. I always kept 2 spares charged. The price is so much more reasonable than the Canon batteries and mine had as long of life. In my experience this was a good buy!!

Check and see if this battery supports Canon 6D, if it does, then there is a good chance that it will. MZ
