It’s about time someone came out with a four battery charger for the Canon LP-EP6 batteries. So far nobody has. When I finish a day’s job with my cameras I have a row of single chargers to charge my batteries. It’s messy, especially when I travel with them.<\/p>\n

I have come across the Delkin dual charger<\/a> which is certainly better than what I currently use. It charges two batteries simultaneously, tells you how much left there is to charge and is pretty cheap….about $50 gets you a dual charger and two plates. The charger can charge all sorts of different camera’s batteries so you need to make sure you get the plates for the EP6 batteries.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Certainly not the most exciting product review, but really useful for me and I am sure many others out there who have a lot of batteries that all need charging at the end of the day…now all we need is for Delkin or someone else to make a 4-way charger…Overall, well made and a nice price (especially in the US)<\/a> and it includes a car charging lead too.<\/p>\n

I bought my ones from warehouseexpress.com<\/a> in the UK for \u00a335 plus a tenner for two Canon EP6 plates. Everything costs more here!<\/p>\n

Oh, one more thing…the Delkin will charge the official Canon batteries and the third party ones no problem. Whereas the official Canon charger can only charge official Canon batteries. Big downside to 3rd party batteries is they cannot communicate with the camera properly so you have no idea how much juice is left in them…never great.<\/p>\n
