This review delves into the 2130 mAh LP-E6NH Battery Pack (Model Number: LP-E6NH), a lithium-ion battery designed for Canon’s EOS R5 and EOS R6 mirrorless cameras. Having extensively tested this battery in various shooting scenarios, I’ll share my experiences and provide a comprehensive assessment of its strengths and weaknesses.

The LP-E6NH boasts a 2130 mAh capacity, promising extended shooting time compared to its predecessors. The black finish is understated and professional, fitting seamlessly with the Canon EOS R series aesthetic. Its compact size ensures it doesn’t add unnecessary bulk to your camera bag. Compatibility with both the EOS R5 and EOS R6 is a significant plus, eliminating the need for multiple battery types.

I found that the battery consistently delivered on its promise of extended shooting time. In my experience, a single charge easily lasted for a full day’s shooting, even under demanding conditions. The charging process was also relatively quick, with a significant portion of the battery’s capacity recovered in just a couple of hours. There were no noticeable performance drops throughout my testing period.
