Battery Grip BG-E2N The BG-E2N is a high-capacity battery grip dedicated to the EOS 40D. It was developed to
enable high-volume shooting and easier vertical shooting. It can accommodate the BP-511A
as well as AA-size batteries.
In terms of function, the BG-E2N is the same as Battery Grip BG-E2 for EOS 30D, 20D, and
20Da. However, the battery compartment cover now has sealing material to make it more
resistant to dust and water than the BG-E2. The power source and method are the same
as with the BG-E2. With the introduction of the BG-E2N, the BG-E2 will be discontinued.
Therefore, the BG-E2N will be the battery grip for the EOS 30D, 20D, and 20Da henceforth.
When the BG-E2N is attached to these cameras, the continuous shooting speed and
number of possible shots will be the same as with the BG-E2.

(1) The EOS 40D
(with BP-511A x 2) enables

be taken when compared with
shooting with one battery
(2) Compatible with size-AA
batteries
