If you use Canon D or R series, you probably know the LP-E6 batteries and maby you know their price.
100$ for the LP-E6NH (newest version)
This is quite much for people who are on a budget and just need a backup battery.
Gladly there are lots of 3rd party batteries for way less money.
But be carefull, LP-E6 are not all the same.

After some testing I must say, that the Patona one is the best battery of them. A quarter of the cost, for 100mAh more, is great.
If other brands would produce such batteries I wasn’t sure if I would trust them, but Patona is a thustable company with good quality products.
