Re: Best LP-E17 replacement? POWEREXTRA

I have used Powerextra LP-E10 in my Rebel T5 for a number of years without any issue.

in the beginning, I never had great battery life with the Powerextra batteries recharging with the OEM Canon charger.  They charged, but not fully.  Frustrated by this problem I started digging and reading the experiences of others regarding the charging of non-OEM batteries in a Canon OEM charger.  That charger will cause the battery to charge to a level less than 100% level and shut down.

After buying a non-OEM (Wasabi) charger, my battery life per charge increased.

Wasabi and Powerextra batteries work like OEM's, but they don't have to capacity for total shots per battery like the OEM Canon battery.  I bought extras and kept the non-OEM batteries in my pocket, swapping them out when needed.  The cost savings makes this solution practical.
