Review on πŸ”‹ Highly Efficient Watson LP-E8 Battery AC/DC Charger by Que Wade

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good alternative to the Canon charger.

I like the "form factor" of this charger compared to the original Canon charger because it is one piece and plugs directly into the wall rather than with the cable having to keep up. I guess I could say it's a bit "easier" than a Canon charger. The issues I have with this charger are just quibbles and at this price point I think they're reasonably reasonable compared to the Canon charger. 1. This charger doesn't feel as "solid" to me as Canon's charger, but it has worked flawlessly so far despite my suspicion of slightly lower build quality. The battery fits the charger fairly snugly and requires a little more force than I would like to place and remove the battery. (see 3)3. The tight fit combined with the charging plate that just seems to "slide" means I have to hold the charger a certain way with two fingers while holding the charging plate or the plate will come off with the battery charger . This charger doesn't seem to charge the battery as quickly as the Canon charger, although I wouldn't call it terribly slow. Can't comment on the USB port or the car charger as I haven't used them. I think it's a great alternative if you're looking for a second charger and don't want to spend so much money and would recommend it if in doubt.

Pros
  • battery replacement plate | USB port for charging USB devices
Cons
  • Not sure
