These are the slightly higher mAh capacity versions of the LP-6N batteries. Very much less expensive than the Canon version ( though the Canon's have a wee bit more capacity still). The K&F Concept batteries 'show up' fine in the battery monitor and have, so far, performed as I hoped.
I got them to use mostly in the Canon R as mirrorless cameras tend to use more power and these are lasting very well.

Give me full speed and as much shooting time as the Canon OEM. The charger is a great portable addition.

To gain a better feel for battery life and charging data will take more time but I thought a first impressions review for this new product would be helpful.
The batteries arrived only partially charged so, as is good practice, I inserted both batteries in the charger to get a full charge. Of note, this kit comes with a USB-A to Micro-USB but does not include a power brick so you'll need to provide your own. Any USB adapter should work. Charging of both batteries to full required approximately 3 hours from the partial charge state I received them in. Both the batteries and charger appear to be of high quality and construction.
I have a Canon EOS 5D Mk IV and used this camera to test the batteries. Full disclosure: I did not fully discharge the batteries to determine how many shots were achieved. The batteries fit perfectly in the camera, as well as the original batteries do. The camera identifies the battery as a LP-E6NH and allows the battery to be registered if desired.
I've taken a few hundred shots with the batteries. Battery consumption in my 5D Mk IV appears to be around 4% per 100 shots. However, this number may vary widely depending the camera and lens being used and other factors including ambient temperature. I did not test battery consumption recording video but I plan to update this review at a later date when I've been able to gather more usage data.
Meanwhile, I do recommend this product.

I have been using these batteries for about 3 months now with a canon R5 with no issues. A massive saving on canons own replacement. So far, so good.

I really like that these batteries charge with the canon charger, it's a nice second option! So far they are performing as expected!

I ordered this charger/batteries for my Canon 5Dii.
There are a couple of Chinese camera accessory brands that have really upped the ante. K&F Concept is one of them. I own several items manufactured by K&F, including filters, cages, and adaptor rings. So when I saw this charger/battery kit, it seemed like a good opportunity to replace my aging Canon batteries and charger, I've never liked the fact that my Canon charger only holds one battery.
The K&F kit comes with a dual charger, two batteries, and a USB charging cable. The Canon OEM battery is rated at 2139mAh. The K&F batteries are rated at 2250mAh. The batteries fit securely into the charger. A charge light is provided for each battery and glows red during charging and green once charging is complete.
I have not been able to test the longevity of these batteries as I've not had time to go on a proper shoot with the 5D. Based on my experience with other replacement batteries, I would expect these to offer about 80% of the shooting time of the OEM batteries. Once I've had a chance to put them through their paces, I'll update this review.
There are two reasons why I couldn't give a 5 star review. First, the charger does not offer any information about the state-of-charge of the batteries. The Canon OEM charger, for example, has a blink pattern that changes depending on how close the battery is to being fully charged. Other camera battery chargers I own (I have quite a few cameras that use different batteries from one another) have small displays that show the rate and state of charge. Second, and more critically, the batteries are supplied in thin, throwaway plastic bags, There is no plastic cover to protect the battery against unintentional shorting when tossed into a camera bag.
If you own a Canon that takes the LP-E6 battery, would like to be able to charge two batteries at one, can live with storing your batteries in baggies, the K&F Concept kit is a reasonable choice.

Charger is way better than OEM, batteries are just as good, report properly and last just fine. I have no issue with these and will order a second set just because.

So far so good. Just got them, and they charged up great. Able to shoot in H+ Mode on the R5. Will have to see about battery life. A good deal at 2 batteries and a dual charger for less than the cost of a Canon battery. Wish it can woth an outlet adapter though.
