I need Canon replacement batteries LP-E6N 7.2V / 1856mAh Li-ion. Has anyone had success with Non- Canon replacements? Thanx for your help.
My only experience is with Canon batteries that came with each camera and the spare Canon batteries purchased from B&H or Adorama to minimize the likelihood of getting knockoffs.
These observations are not what I have read, seen on Youtube, or what "they tell me". Although I am a fan of Mr. Ken Rockwell.
I also apologize for NOT directly answering the question " Has anyone had success with Non- Canon replacements?"
I "try" to start any planned shoot with a fresh battery, but I seldom do, so I ALWAYS have a freshly charged spare battery in my pocket or camera bag.
This is a habit that started with my Canon 7D and continues to this day while using my Canon R5 with IBIS and using IS lenses.
The Canon RP does not have IBIS however it supports my RF IS lens. For the Canon RP I ALWAYS have a freshly charged spare battery in my pocket or camera bag.
The Canon RP does have a much smaller battery and just as large an appetite for electrons.
Using this system I have NEVER been caught without ample power even after a day of touring and 200+ shots/day.
In fact, some of the very batteries I currently use were purchased with my Canon 6D body "a few years back" and they all perform without issue in both the Canon 5DIV and the R5.
They are all numbered and put into the "rotation".
I don't notice ANY meaningful battery consumption difference between my Canon 5DIV (with mirror) and my (mirrorless) Canon R5.
However, I'm pretty sure someone will take issue with this statement.
I don't take many sports shots so I don't "spray and pray". I'm still a surviving relic of the film era so I "measure my shots trice and shoot once". (grin)
Now, as part of the digital age I also now "Chimp", share, fiddle with my settings, and delete images in-camera.
All in all Canon battery life makes me . . . . .

Now, here is what Canon has to say about batteries for their cameras.
