Will the larger Canon Batts work in P-45+?

Can you use the larger Canon camcorder batteries in Phase One P-45+ backs? My local camera store no longer stocks the older BP-911 batteries and only has the newer, and much larger, BP-950 batteries.

Tim, only the thinner BP-911 will fit the PhaseOne backs. If you need a lot of portable power, you can mount two of the larger type batteries (and there are several varieties) on the Canon CH-910 Dual Battery Charger & Holder which then can be connected to the back via a dummy battery connector. I am not sure if this is PhaseOne sanctioned, however.

+1 only the thinner

the phase one sanctioned/tested battery and battery charger can be purchased through our online store here:

The charger has an LCD readout for it's charge level (including indication of charge without the charger being plugged in), a car charger adapter, folds together for protection during travel, and is generally awesome.

If you run into problems check to make sure the adapter plate has not slipped slightly off the main charger (easy to do when pulling it out of a bag without looking).

Thanks for the info guys! Going into the iceland backcountry for a while and won't have much power to recharge so I was trying to find some larger batts to use. I was at the dealer today and saw where the big Canon battery won't fit. I've got four of the phase batteries but they don't last too long. I guess I'll just pick up a few more of them and shoot like I used to with 4/5 (or look into the holder - that sounds interesting)...

Thanks Ed. I ended up buying several of the cheap batteries for $20 each and they worked great and lasted just fine...
