Deal Details
Canon has Canon Speedlite EL-5 Camera Flash (Refurbished) for $129. Shipping is free.

Thanks to community member qpjj for finding this deal.

Features:
  • Advanced Amateur flash with a new multi-function shoe connector for enhanced camera communication and functionality.
  • The Speedlite EL-5 borrows some of the best features of the flagship EL-1 flash, such as a lithium-ion rechargable battery and a modeling lamp.
  • Utilizing the same high-speed charging circuits as the EL-1 and a lithium-ion battery, the EL-5 acheives a recharge time of 0.1 to 1.2 sec.
  • Even though the EL-5 does not have a fan it is still has a continuous flash count of approx. 95 or more at full output. Great for situations where you always need to be ready.
  • Since the EL-5 does not need to use any power for a fan, all of that power can be used exclusively to charge and fire the flash. This increases the number of continuous flashes that the unit can emit to 350.
  • Features the same joystick control and high-definition LCD as the EL-1.
  • This flash gets even more powerful when used with an EOS R-series camera. Assign flash functions to the control ring, utilize quick flash group control, and set up multi-flash shooting.
  • Utilize the free Canon Connect smartphone app to change settings like flash intensity, flash compensation, sync settings, multi-flash control, and FEB remotely.
  • Dust and moisture resistance equivalent to the EOS R5.
Includes:
  • Refurbished Speedlite EL-5 Flash
  • Soft Case
  • Stand
  • LP-EL Battery Pack
  • 1-year warranty

same here, battery seems dead, I ordered a cheap charger from walmart just to check if it works on my r8. Not sure if I will be able to test within return window
Just leave the flash turned off with the fully charged battery. You'll see it loses 1-15% in less than 12 hrs.

Had the same issue and used a friend's LP-E6 to charge the battery. Tested the recall issue and as suspected, the battery lost 15% charge within less than 12 hrs. Returned my order right away. No wonder they were giving these away for $49 (After $129). They were sending faulty pieces out even though they knew there was a recall out there.
Either it doesn't impact all units or they sent me a fixed one.

First of all, I have an R8 so I didn't have the right charger. I bought a used one for pretty cheap, just a charger so don't really care if it's used. When I received the light/battery, my battery was dead, but it had enough juice to at least turn the screen on and show me a dead battery icon.

After charging it up, I've left the battery in the light for about 4 days now and it still shows full charge.
