Canon LP-E17 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

Canon LP-E17 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

Reliable, Everyday Power for Canon's Compact Lineup

For photographers and hybrid creators using Canon's most popular entry-level and midrange cameras—from the Rebel DSLR series to the modern, compact EOS R mirrorless lineup—the Canon LP-E17 is the indispensable power source that keeps you shooting. This genuine, rechargeable lithium-ion battery is engineered specifically by Canon to deliver safe, consistent, and reliable power in a highly portable format.

Because compact camera bodies naturally necessitate smaller batteries, carrying a spare is widely considered an absolute requirement for long days of shooting or extended video recording. Whether you are traveling on vacation, vlogging all day with your EOS R50, or capturing family memories on your Rebel T8i, keeping an extra LP-E17 in your bag ensures you will never miss a fleeting moment due to a depleted battery.

Why You'll Love This Battery

• Genuine OEM Reliability: Built to Canon's exacting standards, this authentic battery minimizes the risk of sudden swelling, overheating, or unexpected power drops that frequently plague cheaper, third-party knockoff batteries.

• Flawless Camera Communication: Unlike many third-party alternatives, genuine Canon LP-E17 batteries contain a proprietary microchip. This allows the battery to communicate perfectly with your camera, displaying a highly accurate remaining power percentage on your screen so you can perfectly time your battery swaps.

• Highly Portable Design: Weighing an incredibly light 1.6 ounces (45g), it is remarkably easy to carry multiple spare batteries in your pocket or camera bag without adding noticeable bulk to your everyday carry setup.

• Broad Compatibility: This single battery powers a vast array of Canon's most popular compact cameras. It is fully compatible with modern mirrorless bodies like the EOS R10, R50, R100, R8, and RP, as well as classic DSLRs like the Rebel T6i, T7i, T8i, SL2, and SL3.

• Standard Charging: The battery is designed to be charged quickly and safely using the dedicated Canon LC-E17 external battery charger (which is typically included in the box when you purchase a compatible camera).

Technical Specifications

Things to Note

The most crucial thing to understand before purchasing is the ongoing issue with third-party LP-E17 batteries. While cheap knockoffs exist, Canon uses a proprietary microchip inside the genuine LP-E17. If you use a third-party battery, your camera will often not display the remaining battery percentage, and it may shut down unexpectedly. Furthermore, the official Canon LC-E17 wall charger will generally refuse to charge third-party batteries. For guaranteed compatibility, accurate power readings, and safety, sticking to this genuine Canon battery is highly recommended.

Secondly, you must be aware of the battery's relatively small capacity (1040 mAh). Because it is designed to fit inside very small camera bodies, it simply does not hold as much power as Canon's larger professional batteries (like the LP-E6P). If you plan to shoot 4K video or rely heavily on continuous autofocus, this battery will drain quite quickly. Carrying at least one spare is absolutely essential for a full day of shooting.

Finally, while modern cameras like the EOS R8 and R10 allow for in-camera USB-C charging, you should always check your specific camera manual to ensure it supports in-body charging before leaving your LC-E17 wall charger at home during a trip. Older DSLR models that use this battery do not support USB charging.
