I never use generic batteries for my Canon 60D now, only original. They may cost more, but I can be reasonable assured they won't fail.

These are not camera batteries. I only ever buy genuine articles when it comes to these, as they are logic-controlled these days and have a certain level of nouse built in. The knock-offs don't play with the camera like the real ones do.

This is a 12,000mAh 5v auxiliary power pack and charger via its USB port and is designed to charge your phone or camera out in the bush. When I bought this there were no quality alternatives of this capacity being sold that either Houghy, Greg Bradley or I could find at the time. Some high-end products are now available to address this segment.
