Third-party batteries/chargers/ac adapters for cameras is a typically a very bad idea. Many cameras don't play nicely with third-party power gear, often times refusing to turn on.

As someone who's used 3rd party Canon batteries for the 10+ years I've had digital cameras, this is not true. I've never had a camera not turn on because of a non-canon battery across at least a half-dozen brands. The camera might complain about a battery not being authentic, but you dismiss that message and it never appears again. I have multiple LP-E6NH batteries that allow full burst on my R6, and LP-E6Ps from K&F Concept for my R5C that allow 8k raw recording and full burst rate, and longer battery life than the NHs.
That said, this is a terrible deal. This battery is marketed as an LP-E6, which is the oldest version of this kind of battery, and this price is high for any generics that aren't the most recent version. The LP-E6Ps are ~$25 each. Ns or NHs should be $10-20 each. Unless you need an LP-E6 that you can pick up today, move on.

The canon R6 was released in 2020 and the R5C in 2022. You claim you've been using 3rd party batteries for 10+ years. I'm no mathematician, but somehow those numbers don't seem to add up!!!! 🤣

I only mentioned the R6 and R5c because they have limitations when using LP-E6 or LP-E6N batteries, so if a 3rd party battery claims to be NH or P, you can confirm whether it meets the requirements based on if those features work correctly or not.
My Canon path has been t2i, t4i, 70d, RP, 5Dr, R6, m200, m6ii, R5c, c70.
The only batteries I've ever had a problem with are GoPro batteries, and it was the official ones that became spicy pillows. And some ceneric Sony Ls have died, but they were fully no-name ones that came with LED lights.

Wow, you keep moving the goalposts once you get called out. CONVENIENT!
I've never had any problems with third party batteries for Canon cameras but this is a bad deal. For $30 you can get two batteries with the charger on Amazon
