Canon LP-E6N COUNTERFEIT

[Yosvaldy]

I bought few days ago a Canon 5DS and a Canon 5DSR from different stores. Both cameras came with a Canon LP-E6N battery, but I start to seach about counterfeit canon accesories, and I saw that these batteries (both has same design) has different label and also these are 8.37V/14Wh.

I will attach the image.

Anyone knows about if are fake or geniune (just with brand new label)

I have no idea if the batteries are genuine but as regards the voltage markings, the usual marking of 7.2V is the nominal voltage from this type of battery, when fully charged they can measure as much as 8.4V. So both figures are correct and not a cause for concern.

What looks a bit suspicious to me is the fact that the label on the OP's battery dooesn't show a date of manufacture or the sourcing from Pansonic.

This morning the seller answered my message. He said it’s genuine just it’s a canon bundle from Japan. Anyway, it’s what it’s. I already bought 2 brand new and OEM canon batteries from Adorama.

Strange then because it is English and Chinese written on the battery, not English and Japanese.

Cameras bought in Japan often have language restriction in the menu. For example had my 6D, before I removed the restriction, three languages to choose between. Chinese, Japanese and English.

Nope, my canon 5DSR comes with all languages possible to choose. (One of those batteries came with this camera)

Does the camera's serial number allow you to download software from Canon USA?

[Yosvaldy]

Yes, it does, and a valid serial number!
