That makes since too, didnt think about thatquote=BebuLamar]I suspect that more than likely a cheap third party battery labelled as 1700mAH doesn't have that capacity rather than the charger doesn't charge it fully.[/quote]

I heard somewhere you need to completely drain a battery sometimes to get the to work right is that true ?

The battery says 1700mah on it and the camera only shows half charged with them in, with canon battery it shows full charged

Not doubting you in any way, but how do you know it is not fully charged or that it can in fact hold the 1700 mAh charged?

Just wondering what is telling you that it isn't working properly.

Many thanks, and good luck!

OK , my mistake it is a canon charger and it says 1120 mah not 1000, but it show full charge before the new batteries are charged. It charges the factory canon 1120 battery fine. I'll get a new charger and try it. If that don't work I'll get more batteries. Thank you all, as always you have been a big help.

I'm curious as to what makes you think your charger only charges to 1000mAh. Chargers typically charge to a specific voltage level, not wattage. I have various types of batteries of a wide range of mAh ratings. They all charge just fine in the Canon charger that came with my 6D. My 7DII came with a higher rated battery. I never even unwrapped the charger. I just use the older 6D charger. No problems.

With these generic grips and battery packages you NEVER know exactly what kind of service or compatibility you will get. They are a crapshoot every time.

On the back of factory canon charger it says it only charges to 1000 though , not 1700

Could be the batteries...I got a battery from a camera store here in Dayton...not even 6 months old will now only charge to 70% and the rate of power is only about 3 hours of use before its out of power. Not even worth carrying around anymore.

T3i , bought a grip and it came with 2 1700 batteries . My stock charger only charges them to 1000 , what charger do I need to fully charge them? Been looking but they don't say . orni don't understand there way of putting it .
