5.0 out of 5 stars Fast charging for BP-511 batteries for my Canon G1., January 9, 2002

By	"maxnikka" (Sonoma County, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Excellent charger for the Canon BP-511 batteries I use for my Canon G1 digital camera. The Canon CR-560 charging light shows single flashes when the battery is less than 50% charged...double flashes when 50-75% charged...triple flashes when more than 75% charged...a continuous light when it is 100% charged. Also, when two batteries are placed in the charger, the first one inserted will begin charging and the second one will sequentially begin charging when the first one is fully charged and its charging light glows steadily. It takes approximately 3 hours for both batteries to charge...each taking approximately 1 1/2 hours to charge; charging times will vary from one user to another. You can charge batteries in your car...or...you can charge batteries at home with the inclusion of the AC cord that already comes with the Canon G1. You can also check the charge of a battery at any time by inserting the battery and checking the charging light/flashes. The battery can be charged at any time when it's not fully discharged, but I prefer to wait until my Canon Powershot G1 shows the flashing low battery indicator before charging my battery. You can also charge one battery at a time if you wish.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great battery charger for the BP-511 battery., January 13, 2002

Works wonderfully...charges quicker than charging in the camera...a two-battery charger...charge batteries in the car or at home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just in case..., June 27, 2008

This is an excellent product to consider if you are out and about in a vehicle and no way to charge up.
Line is long enough to plug in and lay on the seat while batteries charge. Keep in mind this set up will take longer to charge up BP-511 A's and standard time for the BP-511.
I mobile around with two sets of batteries one always fully charged and the camera with another set (I use the hand grip). I'll be off on a road trip soon and this will be a part of the equipment I take along.
