CANON Batteries and chargers

Discover our range of CANON Batteries and chargers

Running out of power halfway through a family gathering or a golden-hour landscape is frustrating. A small kit of genuine Canon batteries and a matched charger solves that problem neatly, keeping your camera ready for the next moment. The benefit is not only capacity, it is dependable communication with the camera for accurate remaining-charge readouts and consistent performance across shoots.

Canon uses different battery families for different bodies, so the smart first step is to match the battery code on your camera or manual. Sticking with official batteries and chargers helps with firmware compatibility and safeguards against protection-circuit issues that can occur with poorly made third-party cells. It also means your charger will taper off correctly at the end of a cycle rather than cooking a pack through overcharge.

Hero feature worth calling out: many Canon chargers are simple, light, and wall-plug friendly, which makes them effortless to pack. Some models also support charging via USB-power delivery when used through the camera body, useful if you travel with a single power bank. Whichever route you choose, pair like-for-like, because mixing an incompatible charger and pack wastes time and risks damaging the cell.

Care tip: treat batteries as consumables that last longer with a little kindness. Store spares around half charge if you will not shoot for a while, avoid extreme heat and damp, and rotate which pack you use first so wear stays even. Marking the purchase month on a tiny label makes it easier to retire the oldest cell before it becomes unreliable.

For availability, capacities, and bundle options, check Currys for the battery and charger that match your specific Canon body. Product pages will list the exact battery codes and any in-camera USB charging support.

Do all Canon batteries use the same charger?

No. Canon bodies use different battery types, each with its own compatible charger, so always match the battery code listed for your camera.

Can I charge a Canon battery via USB?

Some cameras allow in-body USB charging with the correct cable and power source. If you want the quickest, most reliable cycle, a dedicated Canon charger is still the best option.

Why are genuine Canon batteries pricier?

You are paying for consistent cells, protection electronics, and reliable communication with the camera, which typically brings better lifespan and predictable performance.

How long will a Canon battery last per charge?

It depends on the camera, temperature, and how you shoot, but you can extend runtime by turning off the screen between shots and carrying a charged spare.
