Have anyone found replacement battery for LP-E17 that show battery level in camera such as T7i?

I look on eBay and all replacement batteries won't able to show battery level, nor charge on Canon charger.

Yeah, I have some earlier Wasabi batteries that don't show the battery level indicator in my M5, but they work well otherwise. Recommend them.

Also, folks should keep in mind that although the (earlier) Wasabis won't charge in the Canon charger, the Canons will charge just fine in the Wasabi chargers. And Wasabi has some nice (dual battery) chargers that run off of 5v USB, so you can use 5v USB sources such as power blocks, phone chargers (both A/C and battery), and also your 12 VDC car outlet (w/included adapter). Very versatile.

note: I used to only buy OEM batteries (ie Canon), but the Wasabis have always gotten good reviews, and good marks from forum members.  I've used them in my more recent cameras without issue.  They seem to have about 80% the capacity of the OEM's.  I buy several.  R2
