Used Canon batteries from MPB?

I have a hard tie believing used batteries is even a topic. After spending hundreds or thousands $$ on camera/lenses -- not springing for a new battery doesn't make it way up there on the bizarre list.

With a 6 month warranty ?

No doubt they get a lot of batteries ?

And factory Canon batteries are first class batteries.

I have used, tested and taken apart enough batteries to know that.

I trust MPB too.  Been dealing with them for years.

No warranty on consumables.

I have a crate of Sony, Canon and Nikon batteries that don't work. Even if you don't use them, they degrade over time to the point they won't hold a charge.

$23 for one used OEM battery or you can get 3 NEW third party batteries and a charger. It's a no brainer.

They have a little circuit board in them called a BMS that uses power even when the battery is not being used.

If you let it sit long enough without charging the battery will die and will not recharge.

The BMS will kill the Li-Ion battery in a safe way if it is not used ?

Reading through this thread there are warnings regarding non OEM batteries and while I understand my experience has been very different. The only batteries I've had problems with were OEM batteries and both were Canon.

I've bought non OEM batteries for every camera I've owned beginning in 2007 and never had a single problem. Until recently I purchased only Wasabi brand and they've been very reliable. They seem to last as long as the OEM batteries but I've not actually counted the number of photos for OEM and non OEM.

I was gifted these batteries with charger and I've had no problem with them. If I had to chose a battery that takes more photos it seems to be these. It may have to do with the USB charger which takes much longer to charge then the OEM charger.

Your Amazon link leads to "sorry that Amazon page not found"

Edit: R2D2 beat me to it.

See if this one works. I almost always check links I post but evidently not this one.

This one above works sorry about that.
