Kastar 4-Pack LP-E17H Pro Battery with Type-C Charging - Long Run Time

In this review the Kastar 4-Pack LP-E17H Pro Battery is evaluated for photographers and mirrorless users who need dependable spare power. The most compelling reason to buy is the built-in Type-C charging on each battery, which removes the need for a separate proprietary charger and lets users top up from a 5V 2A adapter or a portable power bank. For photographers who shoot long sessions or travel light, this pack delivers immediate, practical value as a set of high-capacity, protected replacement batteries.

Key Features

• Type-C Charging: Each battery can be charged directly by a USB Type-C cable for convenient wall or on-the-go charging with a 5V 2A adapter.
• High Capacity: At 1450mAh and 7.2V, these lithium-ion cells extend shooting time compared with many standard replacements.
• Safety Protections: Built-in circuits protect against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current, and overheating to safeguard camera electronics.
• Charge Indicator: An LED shows red while charging and green when fully charged so it is easy to confirm readiness at a glance.
• Value Pack: The 4-pack supplies multiple spares in one purchase, reducing downtime during a shoot or trip.

Who It's For

This pack is aimed at hobbyists, travel photographers, and content creators using Canon cameras that accept LP-E17 style batteries, including several Rebel and EOS R models and camera grips that support the same battery form factor. It is especially useful for anyone who dislikes carrying a bulky charger and prefers to recharge from USB-C power sources while on location.

Photographers who require official manufacturer charging protocols or full decoded battery communication with the camera should look elsewhere, since these batteries are replacements that do not claim compatibility with original manufacturer chargers LC-E17/LC-E17E and may not provide camera-level battery decoding.
