    I am working a lot on electronics and I would definitely say that buying an non OEM battery is perfectly fine as long as it is a good quality one. The battery cells are manufactured by a third party anyway and from my experience the OEM part usually uses good medium quality cells. This means although you receive a decent product there is some room for improvement. Since the manufacturers are not transparent about their suppliers you have to know from experience which are better and which are worse.

    • @AnthonyGugliotta
      @AnthonyGugliotta  2 года назад +13

      Thanks for sharing. I've had good luck with my third-party batteries. The only thing is that they don't accurately display the remaining battery life, and usually die faster in the last 30%

    • @jannis9163
      @jannis9163 2 года назад +13

      ​@@AnthonyGugliotta There is a very simple explanation to this: The percentage is only determined by the voltage. Different batteries have different voltage curves while discharging. Usually a higher quality battery maintains a higher voltage for longer. Since the energy stored is roughly the same it will be followed by a more rapid decrease in voltage and that is exactly what you are witnessing.
      The important question is: Are you still able to capture the same amount of pictures?

      Which dummy battery and powerbank do you recommend (I shoot weddings and I want to power my Canon R6 ii with dummy+powerbank combo, instead of buying 10 spare batteries)?
      Thank you so much in advance❤

    If you get well made third party batteries they are really good. Of course for casual users original batteries are better since you won't run out of battery these days since one fully charged battery last 1000 shots. The third party batteries I bought last 95% as long. Stuttering is due mostly to full buffer when I shoot birds and your cheap memory card can't keep up. Has nothing to do with battery in my years of experience.
    Love your channel but many of these advice are inaccurate.
    My advice, save money on the batteries, get the fastest memory card if you're always doing long bursts.
    One thing you don't want to cheap out on is getting the best possible flash you can. That means the most expensive one made by the brand.

  • @Abhidoesfirestuff
    @Abhidoesfirestuff 2 года назад +3

    Electrical engineer here ,can explain the reason behind that ,the knock off batteries cannot provide enough current to the camera ,it requires a lot of current to flow at a Conti rate to do those continuous burst shots which the cheap batteries struggle with ,why they do ? , Cause they don't have more number of lithium / metal sheet in them or a lower grade electrolyte that cannot just give huge amps stably 👍

  • @lightningblender
    @lightningblender 2 года назад +2

    Let me add to that: a German channel now called Davision made a video comparing all brands he could find for the LP-E6NH and his result was:
    A lot of the knockoffs didn’t have an actual temperature resistor (RTD) but only a static resistor. This can get dangerous when charging.
    Most of the knockoffs had highly inferior internal load balancing, if any at all. The two lithium cells need to be charged and discharged equally otherwise the performance drops off fast.
    His conclusion also was: buy Canon. Although 3-6x more expensive. It also lasts years without significant drop in capacity. His original battery retained something like 97% of the original capacity after about 1 year while the knockoffs fell below 70%.

      Oh this is new to me and for what I use them, I haven‘t experienced a big difference in all these years. Prolly just a me-specific case and related to how I use/take care of them and not representative of the reality much. However… the safety aspect is something I was always worried bc knock off brands tend to cheap out on such measures and I‘m always overlooking the batteries charging. Really keen to watch that channel you mentioned

    And sometimes on the flip side, they are generic labeled OEM batteries, the licensed manufacturer sells as their own, at a minimum profit rate. They move a hundred times more of the product than the very same named product, and as such, keep sales down and prices up in the licensed product, and shipping more and more of their generic ones.

    Low quality 3rd party batteries can even damage your electronics. Haven’t seen this with cameras specifically but in 2016-2018 a large number of low quality 18650 batteries hit the market and would damage devices or even catch fire under standard operation.

  • @smyaknti
    @smyaknti 2 года назад

    These cheaper batteries basically come with a poor fabrication method which generally has high internal resistance and thus higher current draws cause more losses and they drain rapidly, hence the bad discharge rates. :)
    Go for oem certified batteries always, they test it for compatibility.

    Most these companies source their lithium ion batteries from the same manufacturers so paying $70 quid more for a brand isn’t always gonna get you a better battery. Sometimes batches are faulty. Not to mention those cells are fairly inexpensive so your paying for a plastic cover and a label. Those small cells are worth pennies and they should just make their camera take two li-ion cells and buy a stock charger. Less plastic to manufacture and less fleecing the public.

    A. Shoot all day, bad battery blows up, memory intact.
    B. Shoot all day, memory card fails with no redundancy.
    I would say depending on the contract and camera price. Scenario B can work out to be a lotttt more expensive.
