LP LP-E8 Battery Charger Pack, 2-Pack 1900mAh Battery & Dual Slot Charger

I like this charger so far, but I will update this review as I continue to use the charger and batteries; to see if the performance holds up over time. So far the batteries seem to be functioning fine, and this charger actually seems to charge my regular CANON brand LP-E8 battery FASTER than the Canon official charger does. --So I have tested a dead official CANON LP-E8 from Canon in the Canon Charger, and then the same battery after it died again in this LP Charger. During the Test I was only using one slot on the LP charger, because the specs indicate that it charges at 800mA if charging one battery, and 550mA if charging two at once. With the this LP charger, I was able to charge my official CANON LP-E8 from dead to full in about 90 minutes. In the official Canon charger this took closer to two hours. This might be because the specs on the LP charger are 8.4V at 800mA, while the Canon charger is 8.4V at 720mA. The Canon one is also a few years older, if that matters. --I also noticed the LP batteries that came with this charger are: 7.4V, 1200mAh, 8.14Wh; while the official CANON battery is: 7.2V, 1120mAh, 8.1Wh --I have not yet been able to fully discharge the LP brand batteries so that I can test their recharge times in both devices, but it does seem like they are lasting a bit longer so far than the Canon battery. As soon as I discharge both the LP brand batteries I will test them in each charger for comparison. I would also assume based on the specs that charging two batteries at once in the LP charger would take longer than just one, but I can test that also later. ~So in conclusion, as of right now, this charger seems to be faster than the Canon one, AND the LP batteries seem to last longer than the Canon battery, and when you add the ability to charge two at once, this seems like a pretty nice upgrade. Again I will update this review if I have more information, or if the batteries suddenly die or create a black hole or summon demons or something, but as of now I have to recommend this product as an upgraded charger with 2 extra improved batteries. Can't beat that. *(If you found this review to be informative and/or helpful, please click "Helpful" to let me know. Thanks!)*

Good item, fits the description and arrived on time. Amps are actually higher that 1200mA, mine state 1500mAh which is nice. Charger is good and fits other brands as well, and charges them fine. Good value for money.

Works great on my old 3Ti camera. Charging two batteries together is nice.

Worked great

I can’t find my original Canon battery charger and wanted to get extra batteries to have on hand. This kit is PERFECT! I fully charged the two batteries that came in the kit I selected before using them and then charged my OG Canon battery up. Excellent product and value.

Exactly what I needed to make sure my canon batteries are always charged.

Battery life seems comparable to my canon brand battery and charging works great. I watched it like a hawk the first few times I charged it since it was so affordable. But hooray! It didn't catch fire, or generate excessive heat while charging, and the charging was quick. I'd still recommend watching it closely while charging at first since I'm not sure what the quality control is like for this brand.

Works fine with my camera

I bought these and like a lot of cheaper batteries, I don't expect them to last as long as the original. I was wrong and these actually last longer. Some of this might be due to battery degregation but they are good.

Works great

Work good you have to use the charger provided

Great purchase

Well they are much lighter than the original ones so that can't be good...
