It refuses to show over 90% charging even with brand new batteries. It just sits there and never indicates 100% or stops charging . I wouldn't trust this to charge on its own, and I'd return it for a refund, but it was only $12, and I'm not going to waste my time or money on gas to do so.
I was hoping that this device would do exactly what it claims, but I have no way of knowing. When I plug in the batteries, the lights come on sometimes and don't on other occasions, and the lights flicker on and off. Since there were no instructions with it, I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be. So now I'm stuck with a useless piece of plastic. I'm not even sure I want to plug in my batteries because one of them appears to be completely discharged rather than charged after trying to charge two batteries overnight. Not to mention that the lights aren't working, and I'm not sure if they're charging or when they'll be finished.
I had my doubts about how good this product would be- Given the price, it has more than delivered the goods, and I would have gladly paid more than twice the price, I can say that this charger has done an excellent job of charging two batteries at the same time and completely. This is a fairly straightforward procedure: Connect the batteries to the charger; a red light indicates that they are charging; a blue light indicates that they are fully charged. Also, charging only one battery at a time is not a problem.
It appears to be working perfectly. When I read a few reviews complaining about the lights not working/being difficult to see/etc. , I became concerned. There isn't much of a problem there, in my opinion. It's charging if it's blue, and it's charged if it's red. It's what I'm using right now, and it's fantastic. In fact, I purchased five new batteries and charged two of them on this while charging the other on the Sony charger that came with my camera. I believe it was a good investment for my 8 Sony batteries because they finished at the same time. We'll see how well it stands up to the test of time.
When a discharged battery was placed on the charger on the unit I received, the left hand battery charge indicator led did not turn red. The right side worked as expected, with a red led that changes to blue once the charge is complete. I returned the charger and bought a new one.
I've only ever charged one battery at a time, and heavy batteries take a long time to fully charge. That's not a bad thing, because a slow charge is much better for the battery's life and for reaching full charge capacity than a quick charge. I still need to charge two batteries at a time to see how well it works, which is why I haven't given it a five-star rating yet. The charger, as well as the seller, are both highly recommended.
Various adapter plates for E6 batteries. This charger was packaged with a Sony NP-FX50 digital camera. F adapter plates are available, but different adapter plates are also available for charging a Canon 5D battery (LP-E15). E6). The Eaststar seller from whom I purchased the plates did not charge me and simply asked me to mail a check! Excellent customer service, and this is a fantastic charger that can accommodate both sets of plates. The charging rate can be adjusted between high and low. When you insert a battery, the percentage of charge is displayed on the display right away.
It saved my life when I was in trouble. This charger is fantastic. It saved the day when I was on set and the other battery charger I ordered arrived damaged out of the box, so I ordered the Kapaxen dual charger and had it shipped to the shoot location. I used it every night of the three-day shoot to recharge my batteries, and it worked flawlessly!.
