Maybe I got a dud, but mine worked during a recent trip to Europe, and that was the last time it worked. I went abroad again last month, second time I was to use it, and bam, it's dead. Thank God I still have my original charger from Canon (I wanted two, so that I could charge a few batteries at the same time). My original Canon charger is going on two years old at this point, and works like a song. Maybe I got a dud, or maybe there's a reason this thing is 1/3 the price of the real deal. But either way, I'm buying a Canon next time since, were this my only charger, I'd have been in real trouble during my trip (not sure where I'd buy a charger in rural Spain, but I suspect I'd have paid a pretty penny).

works ok, however doesn't seem to charge as rapidly as the original charger that comes with the camera. good as a secondary charger, with car charger, as well.

It worked good for a couple of months and then it broke. I was told I had to get a hold of CTA for a replacement/repair.

Works fine both in the car and in an outlet. LED light can be a bit hard to see.

This item works great; I've used it between 7 and 10 times and it charges only slightly slower than the OEM unit. A reviewer mentioned that the red light simply "goes out" to signal the battery is fully charged. S/he wrote this as a disadvantage: this is a case of a malfunction, as my unit's LED switches to green when charging is complete. Don't let the low price fool you, this unit feels sturdy (I've dropped it several times with no adverse effects).

It's cheap and it works. Beyond that the design isn't great, and I had to jam the battery in to make it charge. I haven't tried the car charger yet.

Works just as well as the Canon charger for less than half the price. Cannot go wrong with this one!

Product is very inexpensive, and seems to work well. It has been a while since I lost my original charger, so I can't speak to the speed of this charger compared to the original Canon charger. But if you charge it overnight, it is ready in the morning. That is why an extra battery is nice.

Worked well with both original Canon and aftermarket batteries in Nepal and Thailand. Handled local voltage (220 VAC/50 Hz) with included plug adapter and apparent voltage swings. Have not used the 12VDC adapter yet.

Bought this when we lost our original Canon charger that came with our camera. So far I haven't had any problems with it at all. Holds a charge great and I didn't notice it taking longer to charge. It's even better than our Canon one was because it has a car adapter and, hey, it was less than $10! Definitely recommend.
