Canon LP-E17 — three bullets, no capacity, no voltage

Forty-one euros for Canon’s own LP-E17, from a page that publishes no capacity, no voltage and no camera — the same three words it prints on its hoods and caps.

Bodies named
NONE. Not one camera is named, on a battery whose whole identity is which bodies take it. The LP-E17 belongs to the EOS 750D, 760D, 800D, 77D, 200D, 250D, RP and R8 among others — and a buyer has to know that before arriving
Capacity in mAh and watt-hours
NEITHER IS PUBLISHED. Four third-party cells on this shelf publish 2000, 1500, 1500 and 1100 mAh, and two add watt-hours. The original publishes nothing, which makes it the only battery here that cannot be compared with any other on capacity
Voltage
NOT PUBLISHED
Chip communication described
Not described — and this is the irony of the page. An original Canon cell is precisely the one that reports its charge as a percentage, its remaining life and its serial number to the body, which is the main reason to pay 41 € rather than 12. The listing never mentions it
Charger contents
None, and not mentioned
Stated protection
None. The three bullets are: durable; flexible design; quality and durability. They are the identical three bullets Canon publishes for its ES-68 lens hood and its E-58II lens cap in this catalogue — a template applied to three unrelated products

  • The original cell, which reports charge and battery health to the body properly
  • The part number LP-E17 identifies it unambiguously
  • Three bullets, and the same three Canon prints on its hoods and caps

Best for: A Canon body whose battery readout and firmware compatibility should be beyond question, bought by part number.

On the listing

Three bullets. Durable; flexible design; quality and durability.

The same three words, on three products

Canon publishes these exact bullets for its ES-68 hood and its E-58II cap in this catalogue. A template applied to a battery, a ring of plastic and a piece of moulded polymer tells you the page was not written for any of them.

No capacity, on a battery

Four third-party cells on this shelf publish milliamp-hours and two publish watt-hours. The original publishes neither, so it cannot be compared on the figure that defines it.

Not one camera named

The LP-E17 exists to fit particular bodies, and the page lists none of them. The part number on the cell already in the camera is the only reliable method.

What the page does not say, and should

That an original reports its charge percentage and its health to the body, and that firmware will not refuse it. Those are the two real reasons to pay 41 € instead of 12, and neither appears.

Forty-one euros, against twelve to thirty-six

The third-party range on this shelf. What separates them is reporting and risk, not the plastic.

Availability

Between 41 € and 54 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The American and British Amazon stores carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

  • ENEGON NP-FW50 batteries with their USB-C ports and the 2-in-1 charging cable

    ENEGON Two NP-FW50 with USB-C ports, 1500 mAh, 7.62 Wh

    Two NP-FW50 cells with USB-C sockets of their own, 1500 mAh and 7.62 Wh published, five protections named — no charger needed at all, for 29 €.

    Bodies named
    Seventeen models and three ranges, in the first and third bullets, from the ZV-E10 through the NEX series to the a7R II and RX10 II — with a note that the full compatibility list is in the description rather than the bullets
    Capacity in mAh and watt-hours
    THE ONLY COMPLETE FIGURE ON THIS SHELF: 1500 mAh AND 7.62 Wh at 7.4 V, in the first and fifth bullets. Watt-hours are what airlines use and what makes cells of different voltages comparable. The fourth bullet, however, says 1600 mAh — contradicting the 1500 published twice elsewhere on the same page, and adding a claim of about 600 photographs
    Voltage
    7.4 V, in the fourth bullet. Worth noting: the 23 € DuraPro publishes 7.2 V for the same NP-FW50 pattern, and both figures circulate for this cell
    Chip communication described
    Not as camera reporting — but the fifth bullet describes LED INDICATORS on the cells themselves: green when fully charged, red while charging. That tells the user the state of charge without the camera, which is a different and genuinely useful answer to the same question
    Charger contents
    NO CHARGER IS NEEDED, and that is the product: each cell carries its OWN USB-C PORT, in the first bullet, so any phone cable, power bank, laptop, car socket or wall charger fills it. A 2-IN-1 USB-C CABLE is supplied to charge two cells — or a cell and a phone — at once, per the second bullet
    Stated protection
    FIVE circuits, named individually in the fifth bullet: over-voltage, over-current, short circuit, overheating and overcharge, in a construction described as fire-resistant. It is the fullest protection statement on this shelf
    Amazon reference
    B0CQ4F3G6W (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0721295891226
    • A USB-C port in each cell, so no dedicated charger is needed at all
    • Fifteen hundred milliamp-hours AND 7.62 watt-hours — the only complete figure here
    • The fourth bullet says 1600 mAh where the first and fifth say 1500

    Best for: Travelling with a Sony body and no room for another charger, where a phone cable and a power bank are already in the bag.

  • Fosmon LP-E8 replacement battery beside a Canon reflex body

    Fosmon LP-E8 replacement, 7.4 V, 2000 mAh

    Twelve euros for a 2000 mAh LP-E8 replacement at 7.4 volts — the highest capacity on this shelf, with a chip against overcharging and no charger.

    Bodies named
    NINE, in the first and fifth bullets — Canon EOS 550D, 600D and 650D; Rebel T2i, T3i, T4i and T5i; Kiss X5 and EOS Kiss X6i. Those are the same cameras under European, American and Japanese names, which makes the list shorter than it looks and more useful than a bare part number: a buyer with a Rebel T3i need not know it is a 600D
    Capacity in mAh and watt-hours
    2000 mAh, in the third bullet — THE HIGHEST FIGURE ON THIS SHELF, against 1500 for both Sony replacements and 1100 for the NEEWER. No watt-hour figure is published, and 2000 mAh at 7.4 V is about 14.8 Wh, which the page leaves for the reader. Canon’s own LP-E8 is rated lower than this, and a third-party cell claiming more capacity than the original is a claim to weigh rather than to trust outright
    Voltage
    7.4 V, in the third bullet. Matching the original voltage is the non-negotiable part of a replacement: a body expects 7.4 V from an LP-E8 and will not tolerate otherwise
    Chip communication described
    PARTIALLY: the fourth bullet names an integrated microchip that prevents overcharging and extends battery life. What it does NOT say is whether the chip reports a charge percentage to the camera — which is the difference between a battery showing three bars and one showing an exclamation mark. Two batteries on this shelf are equally vague, and none is explicit
    Charger contents
    NONE. The fifth bullet describes a replacement battery in Fosmon retail packaging, and nothing else. At 12 € it is the bare cell, for a body whose own charger already exists
    Stated protection
    Overcharge protection only, via the chip. The 29 € ENEGON and 36 € NEEWER on this shelf both publish four or five protections — over-voltage, over-current, short circuit, overheating
    Amazon reference
    B008JFBIGS (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0879562228937
    • Two thousand milliamp-hours, the highest capacity on this shelf
    • Nine body names across European, American and Japanese conventions
    • No watt-hour figure, and no charger

    Best for: A Canon 550D through 650D that already has its charger and needs a spare cell for the price of two coffees.

  • Pair of DuraPro NP-FW50 batteries for Sony mirrorless bodies

    DuraPro Two NP-FW50, 7.2 V, 1500 mAh, fourteen bodies

    Two NP-FW50 cells at 7.2 V and 1500 mAh for 23 €, with fourteen Sony bodies named — and nothing said about chips or protection.

    Bodies named
    FOURTEEN individual models plus two whole ranges, in the title and the first bullet: the Alpha a6300, a6000, a7, a7s, a7s II, a7r, a7r II, a3000, a5000, a5100 and a7 II, the NEX-7, NEX-6, NEX-F3, NEX-3 and NEX-5, and the SLT-A and Alpha series generally. It is the longest compatibility list on this shelf
    Capacity in mAh and watt-hours
    1500 mAh, in the third bullet, with NO watt-hour figure. At 7.2 V that is about 10.8 Wh. Sony’s own NP-FW50 is rated near 1020 mAh, so 1500 is a substantial claim — and the same figure the 29 € ENEGON publishes, which at least makes the two comparable
    Voltage
    7.2 V, in the third bullet — the NP-FW50 standard, and correctly matched
    Chip communication described
    NOT AT ALL. This is the specification that matters most on a Sony body and the page is silent: Sony cameras read a chip in the battery to show a charge percentage rather than three bars, and a cell without proper communication shows a warning or refuses to report. Four batteries on this shelf say something about their electronics; this one says nothing
    Charger contents
    NONE. The fifth bullet is unambiguous — the package contains two NP-FW50 batteries. No charger, no cable, no case
    Stated protection
    NONE NAMED. The fourth bullet offers high energy density, extra long life and freedom from memory effect, which are properties rather than protections. The 29 € ENEGON lists five circuits by name
    Amazon reference
    B07T1HSTL8 (same reference on 2 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0682559638202
    • Two cells for 23 €, the cheapest per battery on this shelf
    • Fourteen Sony bodies named individually, plus two ranges
    • Nothing at all about chip communication, on Sony bodies that expect it

    Best for: A Sony NEX or Alpha body that already has a charger, where two spare cells for 23 € matter more than a percentage readout.

Elsewhere in the camera bag

  • NEEWER universal camera cage in black and red with two hand grips and 15 mm rods

    NEEWER Universal cage, two handles, 15 mm rod base

    A universal cage at 63 € whose real specification is its rod base — two 15 mm rods at 60 mm spacing — carrying a follow focus, a matte box or a lens support.

    Bodies named
    None precisely, and that is the trade. The first bullet claims wide compatibility and lists examples — Canon 5D Mark II and III, 600D, 700D, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Pentax and other reflex bodies and camcorders — rather than a definitive set. The hub above says the model list IS the specification for a cage; a universal cage replaces it with an adjustable clamp and a screw, which fits more cameras and fits none of them exactly
    Thread and pin provision
    Multiple 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch threaded holes on the top of the cage, in the fourth bullet, for articulating arms, microphones, cold shoe mounts and field monitor mounts. No ARRI locating pins are named, so an accessory is held by its screw alone and can rotate
    Cold shoes
    Not counted. The fourth bullet names cold shoe MOUNTS as something that can be attached to the threads, which is the opposite arrangement from the Hersmay: there the shoes are built into the handle, here they are an accessory screwed on
    NATO rails
    Not described. What takes their place is the rod base — the second bullet gives two 15 mm rods with a 60 mm rail spacing, which is the cinema standard for mounting a follow focus, a matte box or a lens support in front of the camera
    Cable clamp
    Not described. As on the Hersmay, the page provides threads and handles and nothing for the strain of an HDMI or USB lead
    Battery and card access
    Not stated. The third bullet describes a built-in 1/4 inch knurled screw allowing the camera to be mounted and removed quickly without tools, which is a partial answer — a cage that comes off in seconds makes a battery change possible without disassembly, even if the door itself is not reachable
    Base profile
    Not described as a tripod plate. The third bullet names silicone padding stabilising the camera against movement and protecting it from scratches, and the base is where the 15 mm rods are carried
    Material
    Aircraft-grade aluminium alloy, CNC machined with an anodised finish, in the fifth bullet
    Published weight
    Not published. The Hersmay beside it gives 230 g; this page gives no figure at all, on a cage that adds two handles and a rod base to a camera
    Amazon reference
    B0722L8J2Y (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0191073013513
    • A 15 mm dual-rod base at 60 mm spacing, which is what a follow focus and a matte box mount onto
    • Two ergonomic hand grips and a top silicone handle for low-angle work
    • No published weight, on the heavier-looking of the two cages here

    Best for: A reflex or camcorder rig that needs rods in front — a follow focus, a matte box or a lens support — rather than a cage machined around one body.

  • B&W International yellow Type 4000 case open with its cubed foam layers

    B&W International Type 4000, IP67, −30 to +80 °C, stackable

    A hundred euros for an IP67 polypropylene case rated from −30 to +80 °C, stackable, with three layers of cubed foam and two 7 mm padlock eyes.

    Internal dimensions
    NOT PUBLISHED, and it is the one specification this page owes. The 40 € HMF on this shelf publishes its interior, its exterior AND the split between base and lid; this page describes the foam that fills a space it never measures
    Ingress rating
    IP67, in the third bullet — dust-tight and protected against immersion to one metre for thirty minutes, the same standard as the HMF here
    Interior type
    THREE LAYERS of pre-cut CUBED foam, in the first bullet, plucked cube by cube to fit a camera, a drone, tools, electronics or measuring equipment, with lid and base foam completing the protection. Three layers is more material to work with than the single 95 mm block of the 40 € HMF
    Pressure valve
    YES, and AUTOMATIC, in the third bullet — paired there with the temperature range, which is the right pairing: air expands and contracts with heat as well as altitude, and a valve is what keeps the seal from doing the work
    Latch and lock provision
    TWO sturdy front catches holding the case closed, and TWO EYES OF 7 mm DIAMETER for padlocks, in the fifth bullet. Publishing the eye diameter is unusual and useful: it says which padlock will actually pass through
    Wheels and handles
    A RUBBERISED carry handle, in the fourth bullet, and a STACKABLE construction that saves space in a vehicle, a store or on a shelf. No wheels. Stackability is a working feature — cases that stack are cases that travel in a van without sliding
    Empty weight
    Not published, where the 40 € HMF gives 1.82 kg

  • HMF ODK100 hard case open showing its pick-and-pluck grid foam

    HMF ODK100, 30.5 by 23 by 14 cm inside, IP67, 1.82 kg

    Forty euros for an IP67 case that publishes everything: 30.5 by 23 by 14 cm inside, split 10.5 and 3.5 between base and lid, three foam layers, 1.82 kg.

    Internal dimensions
    THE MOST COMPLETE FIGURES IN THIS CATALOGUE: 30.5 by 23 by 14 cm inside, and the fifth bullet goes further by splitting the depth — 10.5 cm in the base, 3.5 cm in the lid — inside an exterior of 34 by 29.5 by 15.5 cm measured INCLUDING the handle and catches. The split is what tells you whether a body with a lens fitted stands up in the base
    Ingress rating
    IP67, in the second bullet: dust-tight, and protected against immersion in water to one metre for thirty minutes. It is a standard rather than an adjective, and both cases on this shelf publish it
    Interior type
    THREE LAYERS, itemised in the third bullet: 95 mm of pre-cut grid foam — the pick-and-pluck kind, plucked cube by cube to the shape of the equipment — a 10 mm foam floor beneath it, and CONVOLUTED egg-crate foam in the lid to press down on whatever is below
    Pressure valve
    YES, a pressure-equalisation valve in the fourth bullet. A sealed case carried up a mountain or flown in a hold arrives at a different air pressure from the one it was closed at, and without a valve the lid either jams shut or strains its seal
    Latch and lock provision
    A folding carry handle and EYES FOR PADLOCKS, in the fourth bullet. Padlock eyes are what let a case be checked into a hold or left in a vehicle
    Wheels and handles
    A folding handle, no wheels — correct at this size. Thirty-four centimetres and 1.82 kg is a case that is carried
    Empty weight
    1.82 kg, PUBLISHED in the fifth bullet — the only empty weight on this shelf, and the figure that decides what an airline allowance leaves for the equipment
    Amazon reference
    B08K3JBWP7 (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    4010537103422
    • Internal dimensions published with the base and lid depths split out
    • Three foam layers named — pick-and-pluck, floor and convoluted lid
    • No wheels, though at 34 cm none is needed

    Best for: A body, two lenses and a drone taken somewhere wet, dusty or airborne, where the case has to be locked and its weight declared.
