Canon BGM-E6 AA Battery Holder for BE6

Canon BGM-E6 AA Battery Magazine

The Ultimate Emergency Power Backup for the 5D Mark II

When you are shooting in remote locations, traveling far off the grid, or covering a grueling multi-day event, running out of proprietary lithium-ion camera batteries can bring your entire production to a halt. The Canon BGM-E6 AA Battery Magazine is the ultimate "peace of mind" accessory. Designed specifically to slide into the Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip (for the classic EOS 5D Mark II DSLR), this specialized tray allows you to power your professional camera rig using six standard AA batteries.

Because AA batteries can be purchased at virtually any gas station, convenience store, or airport in the world, keeping this lightweight, empty magazine tucked into the bottom of your camera bag ensures you will never be caught without power. Whether you use standard alkalines in a pinch or load it with high-capacity rechargeable NiMH AAs, the BGM-E6 keeps your classic 5D Mark II firing when wall outlets are nowhere to be found.

Why You'll Love This Accessory

• Universal Power Accessibility: The greatest advantage of the BGM-E6 is its reliance on the universal AA battery standard. If your LP-E6 batteries die and you have no way to recharge them, you can simply purchase a pack of AAs from any local store to instantly get your camera back up and running.

• Genuine OEM Reliability: Built to Canon's exacting specifications, this authentic battery magazine slides flawlessly into the BG-E6 grip. It features durable metal battery contacts and a secure locking mechanism to ensure consistent, uninterrupted power delivery to your camera.

• Flexible Chemistry Support: The magazine accepts six AA batteries of almost any chemistry. You can use standard alkaline batteries for quick emergencies, or load it with high-quality NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) or Lithium AA batteries for significantly longer shooting sessions and better cold-weather performance.

• Lightweight Peace of Mind: When empty, the plastic tray weighs only a few ounces. It takes up virtually no space in a professional camera bag, making it a "no-brainer" accessory to carry on long camping trips or destination weddings just in case of an emergency.

Things to Note

The absolute most critical factor before purchasing the BGM-E6 is understanding that it cannot be inserted directly into the camera body. This magazine is designed exclusively to slide into the side of the Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip. If you do not own the BG-E6 battery grip for your camera, this accessory is completely useless to you.

Secondly, because battery grip designs change with every new camera generation, you must verify your exact camera model. This magazine fits only the grip for the original EOS 5D Mark II. It will not fit into the grips designed for the 5D Mark III, 5D Mark IV, 6D, or any other Canon DSLR.

Finally, while AA batteries are incredibly convenient for emergencies, they generally do not provide the same overall lifespan or burst-shooting endurance as genuine Canon LP-E6 lithium-ion battery packs. This magazine is best utilized as a reliable backup power solution rather than your primary, everyday power source.
