Hähnel ULTRA HLC-E6P Canon Type USB-C
The Hähnel ULTRA HLC-E6P Canon Type USB-C is a spare or replacement battery for the Canon LP-E6. This battery can be used for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 60D, EOS 6D and EOS 7D cameras. The battery has a capacity of 2400 mAh. Finally, this ULTRA battery is reliable, innovative and of high quality.
The main differences between 'standard' Hähnel batteries and this Ultra variant with USB-C:
Charging via USB-C
- Hähnel Ultra USB-C batteries can be charged directly with a USB-C cable. So you do not necessarily need a separate (external) charger anymore. This is particularly handy when you are on the move: you can top up the battery via a power bank or USB port, for example
- With the standard Hähnel batteries you always have to use a compatible charger (a battery charger that charges your battery outside the camera), because they do not have a built-in charging option
Design and build quality
- The Ultra models are often built somewhat more robustly and have a better finish with intensive use in mind. They are sometimes also supplied with certain protective coatings or additional seals
- The standard Hähnel battery is perfectly fine in terms of build quality, but sometimes lacks that extra reinforcement and built-in charging technology
Capacity and performance
- Hähnel Ultra: has a longer lifespan thanks to better cell technology and materials. This means the battery can handle more charge cycles without noticeable loss of performance
- Hähnel Ultra: performs better in cold and warm conditions, which is important for photographers who work in extreme weather conditions
- Hähnel Ultra: often charges faster thanks to more efficient energy transfer
In short: the Hähnel Ultra USB-C batteries stand out mainly for the ability to charge directly via USB-C and their somewhat sturdier, "premium" build. The 'standard' Hähnel batteries do not have that built-in charging option and are usually slightly more affordable, but do require an external charger.
