Designed for Canon EOS 60D
The Canon BG-E9 battery grip attaches directly to the EOS 60D body and provides a dedicated vertical shutter release, control dial and function buttons. It accepts two LP-E6 or LP-E6N lithium-ion packs or six AA cells via the included magazine. The grip adds handling surface area for steadier shooting in portrait orientation.
Extended shooting sessions
With two LP-E6 packs installed the grip doubles the available shot count compared to a single in-camera battery, allowing longer uninterrupted sessions. Power delivery remains consistent because both cells work in parallel rather than sequentially. The AA option offers a convenient backup when rechargeable packs are depleted and no charger is nearby.
Check compatibility before ordering
Verify that your camera is the EOS 60D; the grip will not fit other models. Confirm you have LP-E6 or LP-E6N packs or a supply of AA batteries, as neither type is included. Ensure the camera’s battery door can be removed to seat the grip’s electrical contacts correctly.

Questions about this item
Does the grip add noticeable heat or noise when used for long sessions?
The BG-E9 is a passive battery holder with no fan or motor, so it generates no audible noise and negligible heat during all-day shooting.
What camera body must I already own for the BG-E9 to attach and function?
It is designed exclusively for the Canon EOS 60D and locks onto that body’s battery compartment and tripod socket.
Will the grip still work if I keep using my original LP-E6 batteries instead of newer cells?
Yes, the grip accepts up to two LP-E6 or LP-E6N packs, so your existing batteries remain fully compatible.
