1.0 out of 5 stars Not for BP-819 (maybe not good for 809 either), December 21, 2008

First of all, the label on the charger does not indicate it works for BP-819 (only BP 208, 214, 308, 316 and 809)) so the description here is not accurate. I tried it on both of my Canon BP-809 and 819 and this charger does not work well. The light will turn green but the battery is not anywhere close to fully charged when put back on the camcorder. ALso don't know if it hurts the original Canon BP batteries for Vixia HF camcorders. I think I wasted 10 [...] on this.

I totally agree with previous 1-star reviewer. Does not charge the battery. Lights work and show the charge, but when you put the battery in the camera, zip... a minimal charge. You would do better to save your dough and buy the Canon battery charger. It is about 3 times as expensive, but at least it works!

Like everyone else it seems - the lights light up, it SHOWS that it's charged, but it doesn't. A fantastic bargain IF IT WORKED.
