Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig USB-C Camera Battery 5298 is an ideal power solution for videographers and photographers using Canon LP-E6 series cameras who need a more versatile charging experience. By integrating a USB-C port directly into the battery housing, it allows for convenient charging on the go using power banks or laptop ports, eliminating the need for bulky proprietary cradles. While this design provides unmatched convenience in the field, users should note that the integrated charging circuit makes the physical footprint feel slightly denser compared to standard non-USB batteries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the battery, simply insert it into your Canon camera as you would with any standard LP-E6 battery. When it is time to charge, use a standard USB-C cable connected to a 5V/2A power source.

Ensure the rubber port cover is fully seated when not charging to prevent dust or moisture ingress inside the camera body.
