Short answer: the Canon EOS R, R5, R6, R6 Mark II and R7 use the LP-E6 family (LP-E6, LP-E6N or LP-E6NH). The smaller EOS R8, R50, RP, R10 and R100 use the LP-E17. The two batteries are different shapes and do not swap.
Which battery does my Canon EOS R camera use?
| Camera | Battery |
|---|---|
| EOS R, R5, R5 C, R6, R6 Mark II, R7 | LP-E6NH (also takes LP-E6 and LP-E6N) |
| EOS RP, R8, R10, R50, R100 | LP-E17 |
Not sure which battery you have? How to check
Open the battery door and read the label on the battery you already have, or check the battery section of your camera manual. The model name (for example LP-E6NH or LP-E17) is printed on the battery.
Canon EOS R6 and R7: LP-E6NH
The R6 and R7 are built around the LP-E6 battery family, the same family used for years in Canon's 5D, 6D, 7D and 80D/90D cameras. One battery type can serve several bodies, and any LP-E6 spare you already own will fit. If you shoot video, long events or sport, carry at least one spare, because mirrorless cameras use more power than DSLRs.
- Battery: Hridz LP-E6 / LP-E6NH battery, 2000mAh, same size and shape as the Canon original.
- Battery grips: also fits Canon BG-E grips that take LP-E6 batteries.
- Charger: the Hridz LP-E6 dual charger charges two batteries at once from a USB power source.

Canon EOS R8, R50 and RP: LP-E17
The R8, R50 and RP are compact bodies, so they use the smaller LP-E17. An LP-E6NH will not fit these cameras, so make sure you order the right one. The same LP-E17 also powers several EOS M and Rebel models.
- Battery: Hridz LP-E17 replacement battery, a drop-in replacement that lists the EOS RP, R8 and R50 as compatible.
- Spare plus charger: the Hridz LP-E17 kit includes 2 batteries and a dual USB charger.
Exception: genuine Canon LC-E17 chargers
Some genuine Canon LC-E17 chargers may not charge third-party batteries. We recommend the Hridz LP-E17 dual charger or another compatible third-party charger.

Which one should I buy?
- You have an R, R5, R6 or R7: buy an LP-E6NH-type battery and a dual charger.
- You have an R8, R50 or RP: buy an LP-E17 battery, or the kit if you also need a charger.
- You have both types of camera: you need both batteries, as they are not interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use an LP-E6 battery in my Canon R6?
Yes. The R6 takes the LP-E6 family, including the LP-E6, LP-E6N and LP-E6NH, so older spares from a 5D or 80D will fit.
Will an LP-E6NH fit my Canon R8?
No. The R8 uses the smaller LP-E17, which has a different shape.
Can I charge a Hridz LP-E17 in a genuine Canon LC-E17 charger?
Not always. Some genuine Canon LC-E17 chargers may not charge third-party batteries, so we recommend the Hridz LP-E17 charger or another compatible third-party charger.
Do these batteries have a warranty?
Yes. Hridz batteries are backed by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
