Do canon cameras have lithium batteries

What type of battery does Canon use?

Mar 2016 – updated travel info. Canon uses four types for EOS Digital SLR cameras. Older camera batteries use nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) technology, whereas new cameras use Li-ion (lithium-ion). Li-ion cells tend to weigh about a third less than NiMH and are completely free from the memory effect.

Why do I need a battery for my Canon camera?

Batteries are also intimately connected to the electronics in your camera, you don't want to be in an uneviable situation where Canon or Nikon disclaim their responsibility to repair your camera because they've discovered that the electronics may be busted due to a generic vertical grip, charger, or battery. That could be quite costly.

LP-E6N, LP-E6NH – all of the E6 batteries are forwards- and backwards-compatible, so the original LP-E6 will work in the latest EOS cameras, whilst the high capacity LP-E6NH will work in the oldest cameras that take the original E6 battery.

What batteries do EOS cameras use?

Many EOS film cameras use 2CR5 batteries. The EOS 500, 500N, 5000 and IX use two CR123A batteries; the EOS-1N RS and 1V HS use eight AA batteries, though the 1V HS can also use the NP-E2 NiMh pack (as with the EOS 1D series cameras). The 2CR5 and CR123A are both lithium batteries designed for use in high power electronic equipment.
