The ZGCINE DT-LPE17 D-Tap to Canon LP-E17 Dummy Battery with Braided Power Cable is the professional’s answer to uninterrupted, battery-free power for compatible Canon cameras on set or in the field. Designed to connect directly to any D-Tap-equipped V-mount or Gold-mount battery, it delivers a regulated 8.4V at 3A output — keeping your Canon EOS R50, RP, R10, R8, Rebel T8i, T7i, SL3, and many more shooting as long as your power source lasts.
ZGCINE engineered this cable with a fully decoded LP-E17 dummy battery, ensuring the camera recognises it as a genuine battery with no error messages, while triple safety protections against overvoltage, overheating, and overcharging safeguard your gear at every moment. The rotating male D-Tap connector with a built-in polarity indicator light makes setup quick and foolproof, and the durable 23.6-inch braided cable gives you just the right reach without tangles.

Frequently asked questions
Which Canon cameras is the ZGCINE DT-LPE17 compatible with?
The cable is compatible with any Canon camera that uses the LP-E17 battery, including — but not limited to — the Canon EOS R50, RP, R10, R8, Rebel T8i, T7i, T6i, T6s, SL2, SL3, EOS M3, M5, M6, and the EOS 200D, 77D, 750D, 760D, 800D, and 8000D.
What power source do I need to run this dummy battery cable?
You need a D-Tap-equipped power source — such as a V-mount or Gold-mount battery — that provides between 12V and 17V. The cable then steps this down to a regulated 8.4V at 3A output suitable for your Canon camera.
Is the LP-E17 dummy battery fully decoded, and does it protect against electrical faults?
Yes. The dummy battery is fully decoded, so your Canon camera recognises it just like an original LP-E17 with no error warnings. It also features built-in protections against overvoltage, overheating, and overcharging to keep your equipment safe during extended use.
