Re: Best aftermarket battery for T6s/M6/SL2?

In the past, I have had very good luck with Wasabi batteries and chargers.  Unfortunately, for my own T6s, I have been unable to find any truly decoded aftermarket batteries.  None that I have seen will communicate properly with the camera and will not show the remaining charge.  Apparently the Canon microchip on these camera wants to see a Canon battery, and the non-Canon batteries have not yet been able to provide 100% compatibility.  If you don't mind the loss of the remaining battery charge feature, they should work fine.  Personally, I went with another Canon battery.  If someone eventually comes out with a decoded replacement, I might try it if it offers increased capacity over the OEM unit.
