No complaints here. Works just like the normal battery from Canon. A bit pricey, but after reading reviews of leaking issues with generic brands, I figured an extra $15-20 was worth my expensive camera.

This battery pack is a must have for heavy shooters. I shoot fashion photography with my EOS 5D Mark II and using the Battery Grip, 2 of these battery packs last over 9 hours of continous shooting inlcuding some video clips (3 mins or more). I would not recommend buying this battery if you aren't using a battery grip as you won't always need a second battery. If you shoot in your studio, one LP E6 will last around 4-5 hours sure it helps to have an additional pack but whenever you are not shooting or not shooting for over 4-5 hours you'll have $150 sitting there waiting to be used. It's just not a very cost-effective option.
If you shoot on location or weddings, events, sports, this is a must have in combination with the 5D Mark II Battery Grip . Also, the use of lenses such as the 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM in combination with live view for video or burst shooting will drain your batteries faster.If you run out of batteries, you can always use the Battery Grip's magazine for rechargeable AA batteries.
I've seen a reduction on the battery performance while shooting at 20F and lower. About 1 hour less of battery time. Also, shooting at over 90F reduces it for about 45 mins on each battery.

Great Battery.. keeps a good long charge when shooting pictures or video. I'm a wedding videographer and we recently switched from Shooting from Canon's A1's to shooting all 5D Video. Might sound crazy but its awesome! I can usually shoot video all day with only two of these battery's with no need to recharge. Every once in a while I'll need to use the recharged one, but usually I'm good with just two cycles.

Oh.. and there are a lot of bad reviews on these batteries because Amazon used to charge a way to much for these batteries, but the price has come down now and they are a great deal!

The battery itself is pretty amazing - not only have I gotten over 1500 RAW photos off of one battery with some intermittent videos and was fine. I bought a second battery to put in the Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip for Canon 5D Mark II Digital SLR and how I can literally shoot for days straight without bringing a charger. What the truly awesome part is that I can view battery status in the LCD including shutter clicks.

What's bothersome is that with every new camera, there's a new battery. I'm sure that with each new camera, there's unique power requirements. However, one of the things that bothers me is as consumers and as an industry, that we're not doing what we can in order to reduce the amount of waste and allow reuse between camera models. When the 5D Mark II, demand was high and supply was low, and it led to price gouging. I'm sure that when the Canon 7D comes out that it will have a unique battery as well... it's just frustrating.
