Hello everybody, my LP-E6 battery shows 100% on the charger but when I put it into the camera and check the percentage from "battery info" it says that it is at 75% (approximately). Is my battery fake or is there another problem, does anybody know?

If this is the original LP-E6 series battery it's time to replace it. As batteries age there recharge performance goes down. Also battery life takes a hit too. It could also be a defective LC-E6 battery charger.

No. Some of older camera batteries will charge. But it won't fully charge to 100%. The will stop at a certain percentage. For instance my one of my batteries for my old EOS 40D will only charge to 65%. It won't charge anymore than that because the battery life has been degraded.

You are right, the battery life is probably really bad and in recharging performance it is at the lowest level. But wouldn't it still show 100% even if battery life is low, because battery life still charges to 100% it just goes down quicker.
