Red alert: Manfrotto launches ultra-high capacity camera batteries for pros

Manfrotto Professional Li-ion Batteries, with Manfrotto Pro Cube charger.

Not all camera batteries are created equal; in order to unlock the top-tier features on some cameras, you need to be using high-capacity batteries. 

To meet the increasing demands of performance cameras, Manfrotto has launched a line of 2,400mAh batteries – a huge step up from the 2,000mAh capacity of its previous models. 

The Manfrotto Professional Li-ion Batteries – produced by European accessory specialist Hähnel, which makes the highly regarded line of 2,400mAh Hähnel Extreme batteries in other territories – are available as replacements for specific Canon, Sony, Nikon, OM System / Olympus and Fujifilm cells:

The most obvious thing you'll notice about the batteries is the signature, panic button red, Manfrotto colored housing – great for quickly finding them at the bottom of your camera bag.

But the housing has a practical purpose, too, being injected with shock-absorbing silicone to make them drop-proof to nine feet. Manfrotto also states that they ast "extra durability" and "are built to withstand extreme tough environments".

Each battery is capable of over 500 charge / discharge cycles, and possesses the latest lithium-ion technology that can be recharged at any point (as in, without having to be fully discharged first) with no degradative "memory effect". 

The Manfrotto Professional Li-ion Batteries are priced at $69.99 in the US, and come with a 12-month warranty. They are fully compatible with the Manfrotto ProCube professional twin charger (also produced by Hähnel, which makes the Hähnel ProCube 2).

You can them order directly from Manfrotto in the US:
