Use Case: Tested in the Field
We paired the LP-E12 with a Canon EOS M50 on a full-day shoot using a 15-45mm kit lens, shooting mostly 1080p video. The battery gave us:
- Up to 1.5 hours of continuous shooting
- Minimal heating under sunlight
- Consistent performance during time-lapse sessions

If you’re working on long-form content or documentary-style shoots, we recommend having 2–3 of these batteries plus a dual charger. The LP-E12 is compact, but it drains faster during continuous video or Wi-Fi usage.
