Mailbox: OEM LP-E6 batteries

I received my much-awaited LP-E6 clones today, for which I paid express shipping so I can use my SmallHD DP4 during my stay here in the States this month. I paid $30,- for 2 batteries including travel charger, car charger and express shipping.
The batteries do not display information to the camera but since I am solely using them for my monitor, I don't need that function. And I hate to pay for something I don't use.
These batteries are 2200 MAh, which I believe is more than the standard Canon 1800 mAh and I confirm that they work ;-) The question is, of course, for how long. Time will tell.
For now they power up my DP4 and I've had the pleasure to shoot some video with the battery-powered monitor, my GH2 and my new Super-Takumar 50mm 1.4. I love this lens already- will post footage tomorrow!

    Hi Jeroen
    That looks like the charger I got with the Zacuto EVF,
    The zacuto 1 wont charge any original canons and my original canon battery charger wont charge the Zacuto battery, Kinda sucks that I now have to take 2 chargers with me for the same kind of batteries.

    Look forward to the footage tomorrow.

    That does suck. But at least you can use one type of battery- I have to bring several kinds! (plus chargers...)
