The essential backup for your otherwise indestructible Canon 1D Mark III or 1Ds Mark III. With one in your camera, fully charged, and one as a backup, fully charged, you might be able to go around the world shooting images for a couple of weeks, maybe a month, before going home to charge your batteries. Keep a pocket full of CF/SD 8 to 16 gigbyte cards, however.

Much smaller and lighter than Mark II design. Gives sense of security knowing you have a backup. Holds a great charge. Price may be a tad high however that should lower as time goes by.

I bought this battery as a backup for 1D Mark III camera. It turned out to be the longest lasting battery I have ever used. Put this in a camera and you never have to worry about it.

I've been really impressed with this battery in my mk3. I've taken my mk3 on several all day shoots and I've yet to exhaust a battery in the span of a heavy day shooting.

This battery lasted for over 1000 pictures, plus hours of lens micro-adjustments, mirror-locked cleaning, etc. This includes two shooting trips in sub-freezing weather. I just put a new battery in the camera, and I expect to get at least 2000 pictures off of that one.

UPDATE: Less than 2 years and the battery will no longer charge (or is even recognized by the charger). For such a pricey product, the warranty is a whopping 90 days. Talk about lack of faith in your product! Even the cheap knock-offs offer a 3-5 year warranty. Disappointed, but when it works it's a champ.

The Canon LP-E4 Battery Pack for Canon's 1 D Mark IV Digital SLR is a back up for my 1 D Mark IV Digital Camera as I take alot of pictures & sometimes need the backup battery when doing an entire day of shooting an event from early morning till late into the night, like wedding packages!

Battery arrived before the promised date. No idea how the battery life is due to it being new and was purchased as a back up. Have not used it through a complete charge yet, but am getting a lot of photos so far.

I bought this as a backup battery for my 1D Mark 3. It has performed as well as expected. I didn't bother using third party batteries because I am not expecting the same output as the real thing. This is highly recommended.

I was concerned about buying from a relatively new seller, but the LP-E4 I was shipped was genuine and perfect, at an excellent price. Shipping and service were superb as well,I will look to buy from this seller in the future!

This battery gives me from 1000 to 1400 shots. I do not know if there are any batteries that last long. Besides, I have a 28-300MM lens. This zooming needs more than regular battery. Two battery fully charged can give you a weeek worth of shooting in my opinion. It was a good investment to me.
