p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Camera reporting battery is irregular?


Trying out my Meike grip I just got and put in my Canon LP-E6 along with an aftermarket Delkin one.

Turn it on and the camera says the left battery (delkin) is reporting irregular. I have the option to continue and cn then check battery info. It seems to read battery performance, though says 0 shots and 3-bar recharge performance (may be accurate, I don't know)

I dont recall getting this irregular notice before with the delkin. Anything to worry about or any effect it may have, or do I just have to always OK-past the screen?

sounds more of a "hey you're not using genuine products" warning than anything.

Don't assume that irregular is bad, a lot of the good subjects in photography are just that.

Delkin probably failed to hack the Canon battery code correctly.

Even if a good hack initially, the reverse engineering breaks when the FW is updated. All my STK became "irregular" after I updated the FW in my 6D but they're okay in the 5D2.

Take off the grip and try the battery directly in the camera. third party grips have had a lot of issues, so don't assume its the battery.

Needs more fiber in its diet.

Just canon trying to push you into replacing it with a genuine canon one.

I got one of the very early 5D3s and put a grip on it the day they came out a month or so later. I ordered a couple of Delkin batteries also. I get the same warning every time it goes in my newer 5D3, but not the original body. FWIW, I've never updated the firmware in the earlier body.
