UPDATE: Thanks to all who answered. I am convinced these will work. No need to have any more replies, but feel free if you wish. I want STK to provide the firmware version that these batteries have been tested to work on (not just work, but full-funtion compatibility; no errors on camera). I have a brand new 6D and need to know if these work or not. My firmware is 1.1.3, April 2013. Does anyone else have this firmware and STK battery that works? UPDATE: Thanks to all who answered.

Hey, I have 1.1.3 6D, and the STK works completely fine. It works fine, the only problem which isnt a big issue for me is that it loses charge faster than the Canon batteries, but its not weak.

I have a 6D, that firmware, and STK batteries, and they work fine. Your Canon charger however, will not charge them properly. I got a free charger from STK that works with STK and Canon batteries. Just send them an email and they will get you one.

I purchased four of these batteries about two months ago. I am currently using 1.1.3 but was previously using 1.1.2. I primarily use them in a genuine Canon battery grip. In all cases the camera sees them as a standard LP-E6 and I haven't had any issues with them. However, it is my understanding that newer Canon chargers may not charge them or not charge them correctly.

I used both firmwares 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and they work fine on both. There was not a change in performance to either firmwares that we noticed during use. During our last event, my buddy was using the 6D with the 1.1.2 and I was using another with the 1.1.3, using the STK batteries - we both basically had to change batteries close to the same time.

I updated my 6D's firmware to 1.1.3 and am using this STK battery with their charger and it seems to work perfectly. No error messages, long battery life, no worries.
1767035
I have firmware version 1.1.3 and, as I remember, I didn't get any error messages from my 6D, but the battery was just so unreliable (would suddenly lose all charge) that I gave up with it after a few weeks and it has sat in a drawer ever since.

I have 1.1.3 on my 6D and yes, these batteries work fine... Battery level indicator and all.

In my experience .2 VDC should not have an effect as I think there is internal regulation. I did not measure my new STKs and cycle them through my EOS 6D regularly with excellent performance. HOWEVER, it would be good to contact STK (very responsive) and Canon (a little less so) and ask to put your mind at rest. This is not an inexpensive camera. Again, my experience is very good. I will buy again in a year; I run batteries only one year before replacement.

I popped one into my 6D and it appeared to work fine. The battery screen also reported the battery percentage and shots taken correctly. I have the most recent firmware, which is 1.1.4.

Yes! It has been working in my D70s, which is the same. These cameras do have the habit of killing batteries over time.I hope this helps. Good luck; Dick...

Mine is not working with my 6D :( I took it to the camera store and tried it on another 6D and it did the same thing, the flash will fire but the picture will still be dark. I would say on a test of 15 shots, 14 would be dark and 1 would be correct, even though the flash fired each time. We tested it on each of the modes on the flash as well as manual and auto modes on the camera, always with the same negative results. I then placed the flash back on my canon T2i and it worked perfectly on my old canon as it always did :/.

Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch. The last time I used them, however, I was getting an error on one of them (the error that occurs when you use non-cannon battery...camera asks if you want to use anyway, but without info on battery). Swapped the batteries around, and the error moved with the battery. Assuming one of them is acting up. They are still working, and providing a LONG time between battery changes/charges; just unable to report battery life on one of them right now. I haven't bothered to look into the issue. For the price, i could easily just buy another one. Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch.

Thanks for the link, Repro. I'm in the process of ordering a battery as I type this. According to the reviews of the battery, all zs3 owners/reviewers are reporting success with this battery no matter what firmware the camera has. Thanks again for the info.

This batteries are EN-EL14 replacements.. I guess they should work, but i havent tried using them on the camera directly, thats cause im using a battery grip...

I use these exact batteries with my Canon Poweshot S3 IS. Never had a problem in close to a year's time. Since my (and your) camera take "regular" AAs, these say they can be used in place of "regulars". I actually bought these specifically for the camera, but now use them for all kinds of things.

Lex:Mine worked with no problem. Check the compatibility with your camera and if it is compatible, they may be defected. Sorry to hear about your trouble.Bahador

Not sure if I completely understand the question, but I have used the STK in my D60 for several months with no problems.

You might want to ask supplier. The one I received didn't work because the firmware was not the latest. If you are lucky enough and firmware was flashed prior shipping, it would work as per their respond to my issue... BTW, I have Canon T3

I returned the battery because it didn't fit the Nikon battery charger. Don't know about the firmware, but it makes since that it wouldn't be compatible. After waiting 6 months to get the battery from Amazon, I finally gave up and bought it a new one at B&H photo in NY.

I bought my 6D a few weeks ago and the batteries work with mine, if that helps at all

as for my personal experience w/ this bm battery, I used them w/ no problems whatsoever as primary or backup battery for my d3100. I got no d5200 to speak of. firmwares are released by Nikon therefore controlled by them and note that bm brand is not Nikon. sometimes I don't do firmware updates for the sake of updating. if I got no problems w/ my photos (besides I edit them digitally) and my d3100, usually there is no need for me to update firmware. just like electronic devices in pc when u update, u have to backup coz there might be problems ahead!

Depends. I bought the Wasabi batteries and charger back in December 2012. At that time, The batteries were not "Canon 6D" compatible. So when you put them into the Canon charger it'd blink in error, in 6D it is listed as non compatible battery but still would work if your override that message. I think sometime after that, they have update the Battery where it works well on 6D, at least to the people who have responded to my original post. I have not purchased additional "updated" wasabi batteries. I'm pretty sure the Wasabi charger charges the Canon battery, but I did not test it for a full charge. Just short plug in to see what happens. Hope that answers your question. Depends. I bought the Wasabi batteries and charger back in December 2012.
