With the introduction of its newest high-resolution and high-speed mirrorless bodies like the EOS R5 Mark II, Canon engineers recognized the need for an even more robust power solution. The Canon LP-E6P represents the next generation of the legendary LP-E6 platform, delivering identical capacity to its predecessor but fundamentally upgrading its internal architecture to support massive, instantaneous power draws.
Designed for professional photographers, filmmakers, and hybrid creators whose workflows demand uncompromising reliability, this battery features a remarkable 6.0A maximum continuous discharge rate. This massive throughput is absolutely required to unlock the highest-end features of modern Canon flagship cameraslike 8K RAW video recording, pre-continuous burst shooting, and blistering mechanical shutter speedswhile still maintaining flawless backwards compatibility with almost every LP-E6 camera ever made.
High-Amp Output: While it shares the same 2130 mAh capacity as the older LP-E6NH, the LP-E6P features a staggering 6.0A continuous discharge rate. This allows it to feed power-hungry processors and advanced autofocus systems significantly faster, unlocking the peak performance of top-tier bodies like the EOS R5 Mark II.
Flawless Backwards Compatibility: You don’t need to throw away your old cameras. The LP-E6P is fully backwards compatible with virtually every Canon camera that accepts LP-E6, LP-E6N, or LP-E6NH batteries (dating all the way back to the classic 5D Mark II).
Advanced InfoLITHIUM Technology: Never guess how much power you have left. The battery continuously communicates with the camera body, displaying the exact remaining power percentage on your screen so you can perfectly time your battery swaps.
Versatile Charging: The battery can be seamlessly charged directly inside compatible modern mirrorless camera bodies via USB-C Power Delivery. It is also fully compatible with Canon’s standard LC-E6 and LC-E6E external wall chargers.
Professional Reliability: Built to Canon’s exacting OEM standards, this genuine battery minimizes the risk of swelling, overheating, or unexpected power drops often associated with cheaper third-party alternatives.

The most crucial thing to understand before purchasing is feature gating on the EOS R5 Mark II (and newer bodies). If you attempt to use older LP-E6NH or LP-E6N batteries inside the R5 Mark II, the camera will physically restrict you from accessing 8K video recording, 4K/120p slow motion, pre-continuous shooting, and the fastest burst rates. You absolutely must use this new LP-E6P to unlock the camera’s full potential.
Secondly, while this battery is backwards compatible with older DSLRs and mirrorless bodies (like the EOS R6, R5, 5D Mark IV, and 90D), you may need to perform a free firmware update on your camera body to ensure the camera recognizes the new battery and allows for in-camera USB-C charging.
Finally, while the discharge rate (amperage) has massively increased, the overall total capacity (2130 mAh) remains identical to the previous generation. You should expect roughly the same total shooting time (or slightly less, if you are actively utilizing new, power-hungry features like pre-capture) before needing to recharge.
