5.0 out of 5 stars Nice For The Price
This charger is well worth the money for someone not looking to spend a bunch of money on a charger. I misplaced my Canon SD850 charger and was turned off by their price tag to replace it until it pops back up. It seems Canon feels people are willing to pay a premium for a charger if the Canon name is attached. It seems they are largely correct.

Pros:...

1.0 out of 5 stars Cannon camera battery charger
The battery is too small for this charger. It was advertised to work with my camera battery, and it WOULD charge the battery if it was laying flat and I stuck a toothpick in the area along with the battery to fill the space. Useless, but it would cost almost as much to return it as it cost, so it went into the trash.

This charger is well worth the money for someone not looking to spend a bunch of money on a charger. I misplaced my Canon SD850 charger and was turned off by their price tag to replace it until it pops back up. It seems Canon feels people are willing to pay a premium for a charger if the Canon name is attached. It seems they are largely correct.

Pros:

1. Its price at $13.95 compared to Canon's $37.67 ($50 full retail) price.
The price is the main reason I give it five, instead of four stars.

2. It works just as well as Canon's charger. The battery fits snugly in place and a red charging light turns green when the charge is completed.

3. It comes with a detachable car lighter plug for charging on the go. This eliminates having to look for an available wall outlet while outside. The Canon charger comes with no such attachment. This extra doohickey is another reason for five stars.

Cons:

1. It isn't sexy looking like the Canon charger. It looks like something an electrician would have hanging on their tool belt instead of something in a vacationers backpack or camera bag. Its small, but bulky compared to the Canon's much more compact, sleek design.

If you can stand the bare bones nerdy look of this charger, its a quality money saving alternative to the Canon charger.

4.0 out of 5 stars Replacement for Lost Charger, September 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Camera Battery Charger - TechFuel® AC & DC Compatible Travel Battery Charger (Electronics)
I lost the original battery charger, due to it being so small. I wanted something less expensive than the Canon one, and maybe with a car charger in case I was traveling. This item was the best choice. The only warning I have is that the battery has to be snapped in tight or else it doesn't charge, so be careful to make sure it is secure before charging. Works well.

Works as advertised. Fits a cannon battery with ease. I love products that work right out of the gate and that are so much cheaper then the name brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY, October 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Camera Battery Charger - TechFuel® AC & DC Compatible Travel Battery Charger (Electronics)
I should have paid attention to another reviewer and not purchased this. It does not work. There is no way to fit a battery into the charger - it has too much space, slides around and doesn't click in or fit, so you can't charge the battery. I tried my old battery plus a new one I bought, and neither fits. I'm forfeiting the shipping charges, but at least hope to recover the purchase price. Fortunately my former Canon battery charger showed up - my 1-year-old grandson had dropped it into a bag - so I can go back to using the old one.

I'm not sure why this got great reviews. My battery doesn't fit in this charger. I have to tape it to keep it from falling out.

After having lost the original charger during an out of town trip, I was very pleased to find this item on Amazon at a very reasonable price. It works perfectly and has allowed me to resume use of my camera.

After I lost my battery charger for my camera I visited electronic stores in our area. When I looked at the price of the replacement I thought I was hallucinating. I should have never wasted my time and just come to Amazon.com. I always find what I want from reputable companies and have never had a problem.
