5.0 out of 5 stars Just Recieved
Just got my charger in the mail. It's as they say it would be. It's not an official Cannon battery or charger but it does the job. I got it in less than a week and I'm on a Navy Base, that says a lot.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worked once but not since
The charger worked the first time I used it, but never again, I've tried different outlets and making sure all metal surfaces are in contact, but no go. I'm assuming the price reflects the quality, don't buy it, I now am going to find a higher quality one.

Plugged it in and the charge light went green... Two minutes later the unit sizzled, started smoking, and went dead... Good thing I was there to shut it down before a fire started... Sometimes you get what you pay for...

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Worth a Shot at this Price over the Manufacturers..., October 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Premium NB-7L Digital Camera Battery Rapid Charger with Car Adapter for Canon Advanced PowerShot G10 (Electronics)
Bought this as a backup, actually have been using it exclusively. Have had this product for over a year now and works like a charm. I have only had to use it a hand full of times. I am not a power user, although I carry the camera all the time just incase there is something worth shooting. I have three batteries for my G10, and have only realistically used two of them with this charger. The third battery is with the original charger stored for backup. This product has worked great for me and it arrived in a timely manner. Honestly, how can you beat the price. It was well worth the gamble...

Note: I usually use it from a surge protected extension at home. I do not just plug this charger into the wall, except when I am at a hotel.

1.0 out of 5 stars Smokes at first use, May 18, 2011

This review is from: Premium NB-7L Digital Camera Battery Rapid Charger with Car Adapter for Canon Advanced PowerShot G10 (Electronics)
Charged my battery once until a burning smell was all over my living room. Not just a bad product but also a fire hazard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, does what it should., February 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Premium NB-7L Digital Camera Battery Rapid Charger with Car Adapter for Canon Advanced PowerShot G10 (Electronics)
This is a generic 8.4V charger with a plastic thingie to fit the Canon NB-7L battery, which allows AC or 12Vdc (car) input. It does what its supposed to.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works for me, and I like it., February 11, 2012
This review is from: Premium NB-7L Digital Camera Battery Rapid Charger with Car Adapter for Canon Advanced PowerShot G10 (Electronics)
It arrived promptly, and I plugged it in immediately and ran it for several hours charging 3 batteries. It worked perfectly, and ran cool with no problems. Of course, I haven't had it long; but if it fails I will correct this review.

Today, one can't be sure of getting something good that costs more money, or getting something bad that costs less money. Just because a thing costs more money does not make it good. Anyway, the only potential weak spot on this charger are the AC prongs which fold back into the charger body. All chargers and other AC powered devices with folding prongs are prone to mechanical failure as one keeps opening and closing them repeatedly; they wear out; they could receive mechanical damage; or they may be defective from the factory.

I suspect that the people having problems with these chargers had something go wrong with those folding prongs. So, I won't be folding mine back and forth, and will leave them extended all the time.

I'm a retired electronics technician, and I've often seen this happen to folding prongs. Also, when plugged into an outlet folding prongs are vulnerable to damage from being stuck by something and bent a little; that would mess up the electrical connection to the prongs big time. Handle these units gently, because folding prongs are not strong like the fixed prongs on a vacuum cleaner or a kitchen appliance. Why take chances? Leave the prongs extended all the time. These chargers look as good to me as any other small battery charger having the same features. I'm glad that I bought mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real bargain!, January 15, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Premium NB-7L Digital Camera Battery Rapid Charger with Car Adapter for Canon Advanced PowerShot G10 (Electronics)
This battery and charger combination is a real bargain compared to what the manufacturer charges. Every bit as good as the original and will be a handy backup battery with the charger as a plus.
