What kind of battery does this light use? Is it a proprietary design or does it work with Canon or other generic batteries?

You can use any Sony NP battery or similar, for example I use NP-F570, NP-770 and NP-970, actual it, this lamp came with a truCELL NP-970 battery and You get about 4 hours of continuos light

Yes, it works with the original Canon battery, but it will have a different charging time because it has a higher capacity.

It uses CR123A/DL123A lithium batteries (3 volt), which can be found at any Radio Shack. You can find the instruction manual at Canon's website; look under "Brochures and manuals": http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_35mm_slr_cameras/eos_rebel_gii

I don't know. I only have Canon batteries. You may want to check a Canon forum such as Photography on the Net(you can google it). You should be able to find an answer there.

The spare battery that I received was not manufactured by Canon. It is a "Power 2000 ACD409 Battery Replacement for Canon LP-E12". It is sold separately on Amazon, so I recommend reading the reviews of it if you have concerns it is not a genuine Canon part.

Not proprietary. I just bought this package and included in it is an aftermarket battery.

It uses a CR123 battery. These batteries are expensive, mainly used in photography. I suggest purchasing rechargeable batteries from Surefire.

The battery is a CR2 3 volt battery. Depending on how much you use the light it should last many months. I have mine on a Glock 19 that I use for home defense as a night stand gun and the battery lasted over a year. I would definitely recommend this light. Great price. Great quality.

it is an aftermarket battery but I think it is just as good as the Canon labeled one. Of course, Canon doesn't make batteries so the ones with a Canon label aren't made by Canon either.

The spare battery would be made by an aftermarket company, it is not Canon brand.

No lights on the battery. With this battery in my Canon charger, the charger light goes to solid green light after a few minutes.

I've only used the NP 330 which is an off-brand and are relatively inexpensive. They work fine. The connection is made by 2 pins on the light into the two connector holes on the battery. I don't know if this helps.

This model of Canon employs standard AA batteries and so any appropriate AA battery charger and complimenting battery for this kind will work. Some camera specific battery chargers will not work because they are intended to charge the specific Lithium Ion or NiCad battery pack associated with a particular camera model which may not be AA-cell types. Generally you want a battery that has the highest mAH rating (milli-ampere hours).ACDelco Insta-Use (Pre-Charged) 2000mAh Ni-MH AA Battery is a good example of new technology that should work well instead of disposable batteries.

I use the Photogenic ISB2183 ION Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System that I purchased through Adorama. It is a portable battery that you plug your moonlight into just like you would into a wall socket. It has two outlets enabling you to operate two monolights at the same time.

Look at the battery that you have and take the reference number i.e. 2L or whatever and get the same code, you will find that there are other makers of the battery a lot cheaper than Canon - they use the same code just different manufacturer.

Yes it does. It's works perfectly. The plug is a tad tight, which is kind of nice, you don't have to worry about it detached accidentally, but other than that it's great. Only real down side is that the Canon version, has a continuous red LED indicator light to show you it's working and you put the batteries in properly. This one has a pair of LED lights which flash one every 6 seconds, and in the heat of the moment, six seconds is a long time to wait to make sure your battery pack it installed properly and functioning.

It is Canon's LP-E6 battery and is rechargeable. For shooting photos, it'll last something along the lines of 300-500 shots depending on how you shoot. I don't shoot video, so I couldn't tell you how long they will hold out for video.
