I had a 5DIII previously but moved away from Canon. I've just returned to a Canon 5DIII and are confused by the operation of the battery charger!
Using an LC E6E charger, which has the standard 'Charge' indicator and the three '% charged' indicators.
Regardless of whether I use a Canon battery or a Hahnel battery, the Charge indicator flashes once per second, as it should, but the % charged indicators do not light up! Charging instructions online say "if the charge light flashes slowly (once per second) it is charging and you should leave until it turns green, indicating a full charge."
If this is right what's the purpose of the three % charge indicators?
I believe Canon have 'messed about' with the charger to make it more difficult for customers to use non Canon batteries?
