I mean, what can you really say about it? Place battery in charger and watch it charge! Very exciting. It comes in a large red box. The charger is small and should be easy to store while traveling. I don’t understand why Canon does not include this with the camera. Well I do know, more money selling it by itself. A very useful item to have. Very expensive for what it is but what choice do you have. 5 stars for design of it but it loses a star for the price.

This is awesome. I always get the portable charger when I get a camera that does not come with one. They save alot of time and headaches. Easy to travel with. It is also great to throw a spare battery on to charge in a hurry (I can honestly say, I dont think I ever used the power cord from my old camera.)
It also shaves 50 min off the recharge time for the standard battery, even more for the extended battery.

The Confusion:
There seems to be some confusion why the charger is recommended when the videocam seems to originally come with one.
If you own a videocam like f.e. HF11, HF10, HF100 etc. or any other you will find included a POWER SUPPLY !!

I purchased this charger in conjunction with an HF S100 camcorder for the convenience and charge speed factor. The charger charges quicker than the camcorder does. Plus it’s far easier to stick a battery in the charger and plug it into a wall socket (no wires!) than it is to untangle and hook the two power supply wires to the camera. If you have two batteries this is a must as you cannot run the camcorder off wall power and charge an attached battery at the same time. It’s also much smaller than the camcorder’s power supply and wires, so it fits better in small camera bags.
The only knock I’m giving this product (aside from price) is the two simple status LEDs. They only tell you if it’s charging or finished. Some of my other Canon battery chargers (that were included with their respective products) indicate the charging status – 25%, 50%, 75% complete.

I first went with a far less expensive third-party charger for these batteries. It seemed to work. But, when I tried to use the charged battery the camera, the camera told me the battery was dead. Save yourself some aggravation and purchase this charger.
Also note that your camera may have a built-in battery which needs charging as well. Even if you use an external charger, you should occasionally charge the battery through the camera’s AC adapter to insure that everything is fully charged.
