Canon EOS1DS New Battery

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have experience with new batteries from Watson or Wasabi for the EOS1DS,

I know I could get used original ones but I don't know if they will last.

 

Thanks

I would not consider used batteries. I bought some OEM and they read End of use in the camera, work to some extent, but unpredictably. I have Nikon system, but have used both Wasabi & Watson successfully for many years.

Thanks that's good to know, do you like one over the other?

Though this will bring down a storm, good aftermarket like Watson and Wasabi don't seem to perform any differently than OEM. I do have multiple batteries for every camera and am very battery conscious - on the cameras that will show it, the menu is set to battery condition. I've never run out of power.

I bought this DSTE NP-E3 from Amazon.ca last year and have no complaints at all. It is much better than my old Canon NP-E2 that was long past it’s prime and could barely hold a charge. I wouldn’t consider a used NP-E3 because they could also be near the end of their useful lives.

 

It probably doesn’t matter which brand you buy because I bet they are all made in the same factory in China.

 

When shopping, also consider getting a NP-E2 because it is exactly the same battery and you just have to remove 2 screws to swap out the end plate.
