Introduction
For weeks, I’ve been putting the LP-E10 1350mAh battery through its paces, testing its endurance and reliability with my Canon EOS Rebel T7i. This review aims to provide a comprehensive look at this readily available replacement battery for a wide range of Canon cameras. My goal is to give you the information you need to decide if it’s the right fit for your photographic adventures.
Features
The LP-E10 1350mAh battery is a straightforward replacement for the original LP-E10 that ships with many Canon EOS Rebel cameras. Its primary selling point is its 1350mAh capacity, promising extended shooting time compared to lower capacity alternatives. The build quality feels solid, and it fits snugly into the battery compartment of my camera.

Performance
In real-world testing, the LP-E10 1350mAh exceeded my expectations. I consistently got more shots than I did with my original battery, especially when using features like continuous shooting mode. I took over 500 photos on a single charge during a day-long photoshoot, with a mix of stills and short video clips. Battery life, of course, varies depending on usage; features like live view and video recording will drain the battery faster. However, this battery consistently delivered better performance than the original LP-E10.
I also tested the battery’s performance in various weather conditions, including moderate cold. There wasn’t any significant drop in performance. I did not notice any signs of overheating.
Charging time was acceptable; it took approximately 2 hours to fully charge using the OEM Canon charger.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Extended battery life compared to original LP-E10; Reliable performance; Solid build quality; Affordable price point.
- Cons: Charging time could be slightly faster; No noticeable indicator to show battery level (though this is typical for these batteries).
Final Verdict
The LP-E10 1350mAh battery is a worthwhile investment for Canon EOS Rebel users seeking to extend their shooting time. Its performance, reliability, and affordable price make it a strong contender. While a faster charging time would be an improvement, this minor drawback doesn’t overshadow its overall excellent performance. I highly recommend this battery as a reliable and affordable replacement or extra battery for your Canon EOS Rebel camera.
