EOS Rebel T8i - In need of help for a dummy battery

[ThirtyGabe]

Hello! I was recently searching for a dummy battery so I could use it to stream I was thinking on getting a  third party one but it’s very risky and really don’t want to break a expensive camera. I was looking on the canon website if they have any official ones but not sure which adapter I need if anyone can help me out on choosing the right adapter I’d greatly appreciate it. I have a T8i Rebel thank you!

Avoid any third party dummy battery that claims that it needs to charge itself up.  Those do not work.  The camera usually drains the battery faster than it can recharge.

Of course, the Canon stuff costs a LOT more than aftermarket.

Wasabi is a trustworthy brand in the aftermarket space.
