Digital camera Review: A Good Charger for Canon Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
This charger certainly gets a lot of things right -- it has a large list of compatible batteries for both camcorders and still cameras, and it's great to have the option to charge from the car with the 12V DC car adapter. The price is great, too.
The information in the product description is a bit light on details, so I'll do my best to fill in the missing stuff.
First of all, the charger uses a battery plate system for compatibility: the charger comes with a number of plates that connect to the charger itself, each plate corresponding to a number of Canon batteries. So you may attach one plate to charge one type of battery, but another plate for a different type of battery. People with only one battery can just attach the necessary plate and leave it there for good. But if you have multiple cameras/camcorders with different battery types, you may need to switch plates. They just click on, so it's not difficult to do.
Once you have the correct plate on, you just slide the battery into that plate and the charging starts. An LED on the charger glows red while charging, and turns green when charging is complete.
Here's the list of batteries that are compatible with this charger:
BP-208
BP-308
BP-315
BP-508
BP-511
BP-512
BP-522
BP-535
BP-2L12
BP-2L14
BP-915
BP-924
BP-927
BP-930
BP-941
BP-945
BP-970
NB-1L
NB-2L
NB-3L
NB-4L
NB-5L
Check your camera's instruction manual to determine your battery type if you don't know it. Also note that in some cases, minor revisions may be acceptable (for example, the BP-511A is the same size and uses the same contacts as the BP-511, and as such will work with this charger).
2 notable omissions here (possibly due to the relatively recent release of these new batteries) are the LP-E5 and LP-E6 batteries that power the EOS Digital XSi/450D and the EOS 5D Mark II, respectively. You'll need a different charger if you own one of these cameras.
The charger's build quality is about right for a charger in this price range. There's nothing wrong with the build necessarily, but I wouldn't want to subject it to any excessive forces. It's all plastic, and could break. But it's nothing to worry about under normal use.
