I don't do video, only photos on my R6 Mark II. I saw Rick's post on the topic at https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Video-Accessories/Totally-Awesome-Canon-What-Have-You-Done-LP-E6P... and am wondering if there is any compelling reason to switch to the new LP-E6P for a photo shooter. I have updated the firmware to support the newer battery but I'm thinking the continuous 6 amp output is only benefitting video shooters and I'm good-to-go for photography.

If it means anything, B&H is only selling the LP-E6P now. They had both types for sale not too long ago.

Thanks Wadizzle. I saw that the LP-E6NH are officially discontinued, but mine work fine so I'm not planning on rushing out and replacing what I've got unless there is a great reason to do so. Something like they tend swell up and damage the camera or tend to catch on fire, or new firmware won't support them kind of thing. They are currently plentiful used but I've never thought of buying a used battery before. I'm guessing one might to well to get 50% of the battery life out of a battery that is 50% of new, so probably not a great value proposition.
