I picked up a refurb 80D for my 4th camera. (Maybe I have too many cameras?) Anyway, it came with the LP-E6N as did the 5DIII awhile back. I have a couple of LP-E6s (bought from Canon) that are supposed to be directly compatible with the N version. The claimed difference is longer life - the N has 1865mA vs 1800mA in the E6. Doesn't seem significant to me.
Since the 80D arrived with a flat battery, I put in a charged LP-E6 to get started customizing. Turned it on and got the message, "Is this a Canon battery?" I clicked yes, and it announced that it was counterfeit and shut the camera down. Repeated with same results. Tried again and selected "No." The dialogue then said something like, "This will blow up your camera," but allowed me to use it.
Whaat? The batteries are known to be legit, have worked fine in the 5DIII, but this weird behavior in the 80D.
Anybody run into this? Or better, have an explanation?
