1.0 out of 5 stars FALSE DESCRIPTION - BE AWARE!, June 16, 2010

I'm writing this review to clear up the inaccuracies in Amazon's description (and most descriptions around the web).

Amazon's description says: "The CA-PS400 can charge up to two batteries simultaneously...A full charge (from completely flat) takes about 90 minutes."

This is inaccurate. Take a look at the product in the picture, you'll probably think this unit is capable of charging 2 batteries at the same time. Unfortunately it can't. It can only do one at a time. It charges batteries "sequentially" - there is nothing "simultaneous" about it.

At B&H's website you can find a complete description of this product that includes the following:
"Note: The Charger will only charge one battery at a time."

So please be aware what you're buying here - a charger that holds 2 batteries but charges them one at a time.

Excellent for charging multiple batteries. I have an adaptor which takes two Canon batteries and I use my camera a lot. Canon's batteries are noted for long life but do need recharging from time to time. I rate this product as great but wish it would recharge both at once or at least show a light that shows that that is what it is doing. All in all, excellent.

Charger is okay and does the job. The power cord is extremely stiff which make portability undesirable. Hard to coil up the power cord. I do recommend the charger as you can charge two batteries at the same time which is necessary if you are a pro or serious amateur. I do not recommend using any after-market charger or batteries for top quality Canon cameras. Stick with the Canon products for you Canon cameras.
