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.

On the listing

Five bullets. A Fosmon replacement LP-E8 compatible with the Canon EOS 550D, 600D and 650D, Rebel T2i, T3i, T4i and T5i, and Kiss X5 and EOS Kiss X6i; an exhortation never to run out of battery at the moment worth capturing; a high capacity of 7.4 V and 2000 mAh, rechargeable, with high-quality cell technology; an integrated microchip preventing overcharging and extending battery life; and a replacement battery for the Canon LP-E8 in Fosmon retail packaging.

Two thousand milliamp-hours

The highest figure on this shelf, and higher than the original it replaces. Cell chemistry has improved since the LP-E8 was designed — and a number on a label nobody audits is still a number on a label.

Nine names, three conventions

Six hundred D, Rebel T3i, Kiss X5: the same camera in Europe, America and Japan. The list means a buyer finds their own name without learning the others.

Seven point four volts, which is the part that cannot vary

Capacity is a claim; voltage is a requirement. The body expects 7.4 V and the page publishes it.

A chip, for one job

Overcharge protection. Whether it tells the camera how full the cell is — which is what stops the exclamation mark on the screen — the page does not say.

No charger, at twelve euros

The bare cell. For a body that already has its charger in a drawer, that is the right purchase.

Availability

Between 12 € and 16 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

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

Listed in the American Amazon catalogue with nothing on sale against the entry: the camera has a page there and no seller behind it.

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.
