Jim Can you send me the link if that’s okay so I can have a look. I had third party ones for my Sony Rav Power never had any problems with themI have had two Neewer and two BM (Big Mike's) LP-E6NH batteries for about two months. All are recognized by my R5, and registered in camera with S/N, all allow the green H+ mode. I don't see any real difference in day-to-day shooting with them, they do not seem to drain any faster than the original Canon battery. I have seen some online sources complain about the long-term life of third party batteries, so I guess that is something I will have to look out for. Right now they give me the extra battery capacity for longer sessions away from home.
Not sure of anything at this point, but I contacted my pro rep and he said he'd not heard anyone complain of this and asked about the battery first. He mentioned the firmware next, but I'm in the middle of a trip and won't be updating until I'm home on Monday. There may be something there, but nothing about it was mentioned in the release - at least not that I saw.Are you sure it's the battery and not the firmware update numbered 1.5 ? My R5 has been doing this recently on quite a few occasions using the Canon battery and Canon now have now released an updated 1.5.1 firmware on the 14th of February to solve the problem.
It apparently only happens when you use the AF-On button for back button focus which I do.
