Throw in the trash. In that same week I decide to buy the Canon charger $36 with shipping and all $40. I charge the battery for 3 hrs and the battery still not charged. Trying to save a few bucks for cheap charger, end up paid more than double. I wished I had bought the Canon charger from the start. It about the same size as the first charger.
Except, it big.
This charger appeared that no body ever bought them because there were no customers review what so ever.
Well designed, slim and fast charging.
The first one no brand charger were $19 with shipping and all end up $25 and it did not work.
The Canon charger win hand down on all counts.
The 2nd charger is also a cheap one but it has 2 customers reviewed and was a positive review and cost $12 shipping and all was $16.
This cheap charger charged the battery fine.
The other no brand chargers bigger than the Canon charger twice the size.
Oh well live and learn.
The HV30 will charge the battery through the camera when plugged in. The charger is compact and allows for a second charger to still be plugged into the same outlet. I bought this charger and an extra battery for my Canon HV30. While I don't if this has any ill long term effects on the camera, I know that it takes much longer to charge the battery that way. It functions fine with the Canon BP-2L13 and BP-2L14 battery packs. I bought this charger because I wanted a second battery for long trips and with the HV30 no charger is included. This charger gets my batteries juiced much quicker than via the camera and allows me to still use the camera while charging my backup. If you are unsure if you need the charger because of a similar situation, I would say it is well worth it, not only for convenience, but to get your battery sooner when in a pinch.
I forgot my main charger back in India while travelling to USA and Ordered this product, I am extremely happy with this product and I will recommend this product. I got this product little below 35$.It takes little longer to charge battery but does not matter for me.Pros: Very Handy, Light and compact. Very useful especially when you have extra set of battery. You can use one and keep other on charging.Cons: Not found any yet.
THis is a great Canon battery Charger. I lost my original one, and this is the same exact one as what came with the camera/
This simple added feature makes this charger worth the extra cost to me as I hate wasting energy unnecessarily and also can't stand it when I think something's charged long enough, but in fact it's not. I lost my original Canon digital camera battery charger and needed a replacement, so I ordered the manufacturer's version despite it's greater cost because of the handy charging light. It's hard to see, but just above the battery slot, there's a small light that turns red while you're charging it, and then it turns green when the battery is fully charged. This light eliminates the guessing game. I'd give it 5-stars if it were less expensive, but it's worth the difference.
