CANON R50 | Aftermarket Battery Missing Feature

If you're like me you have bought the Canon R50 camera and require additional batteries. I could not purchase OEM batteries from my stockist so I purchased 3rd party batteries and I was surprised that this feature does not exist.
Partially coded batteries do work in the R50 but with some limitation.

A valuable information. Thank you.

Thanks for the explanation, I found out the hard way this week, was out filming and just got an R50, using it to film some static shots about 10 mins in length, at one point I came to stop the recording and it had died, had no idea some/most aftermarket batteries don’t report battery life correctly, I was using Artmans and they kept showing full charge until they died.

Modern batteries hold output for as long as they can then die. This doesn’t damage the electronics in modern equipment

Thankyou for this vital information im about to make my purchase @ on this so much appreciated

Great news - keep an eye out for my dummy battery/dc coupler test coming in a few weeks. So happy the info helped and thanks for watching ☺️

Thank you for the information.....I was going to by straight aftermarket...after you mentioned the battery display etc, I looked up fully decoded and found Artman Batteries that are fully decoded and report battery health ( I have not verified other than Amazon website). I am ordering one though....cost is $28 US for one. Just some new information.

Great information- thanks for sharing and thanks for watching ☺️

Is there a portable power bank that can charge the camera's battery but use the camera at the same time?

Hey Darren, Great stuff mate.
Just wanted pick your brain on what looks like a new shiny toy.
1. How is the dual charger where do i buy one like your great self?
2. How do I access the battery health feature as a non tech woman myself.
3. What's your favorite cameras to take on a nice road trip with your partner?

[@cre8r61]

Thanks for watching. Amazon or eBay should have a dual charger available - maybe look for DR-E 18 batteries, 3rd party batteries won’t show battery health as they’re partially decided. Fave cameras at the moment are the M50, R50 and Sony ZV 1. Battery health is under the Wrench (Yellow menu), page 5, Item 3 - Battery info

Thanks man! Any advice on a dummy battery for the R50? I can’t seem to find the right one and am keen to use the r50 as a webcam etc

[@cre8r61]

Thanks for asking - I’ve just picked up one and making that video. This is the one I have bought and testing soon amzn.to/434qT9A as the R50 takes the LP-E17 battery

[@Kiingnxtdoor]

is there a battery grip for the r 50

[@cre8r61]

I only know of one from CBG Custom Battery Grips that’s 3D printed

[@cre8r61]

No battery grips that I’m aware if. Maybe there’s a custom 3d print version
