Canon original batt mix with 3rd party batt

Submarine71 · 30th May 2009

Guys,
I would like to know whether mixing of the original batt with 3rd party batt in the batt grip will it cause any harms to the original one?
Or will the original batt degrade faster than expected?
Check the info, seems like original & 3rd party batt are both having same power rating.
Thanks.

As third party batteries have no quality control and may not truly reflect the stated power, I would suggest not mixing the original canon ones with third parties ones. However if you are to use all similar third party batteries of the same power rating, I guess it is less riskier of the two scenarios.

I dun use battery grip so each time I use either the original or third party one.
