compatability with Canon i have a canon A570, which recommends the very expensive Canon battery charger. Has anyone had problems using this charger with a Canon camera?

Raed all about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_metal_hydride_batteryPay special attention to "Low Self Discharge Batteries"

As long as your camera accepts alkaline AA cells, it will accept NiMH AA cells. Don't get fooled into buying only Canon brand NiMH cells for Canon camera. Any brand will do. But of course I strongly recommend low self-discharge NiMH cells. See my previous post.

Click on my name above, which will bring you to my Amazon.com profile page. On the left hand side you should see my "Location" and "Reviewer rank". Click on the "See all xx reviews" link just underneath them. My battery-related reviews are mostly on the second page. Enjoy.

I have used a set of (previous generation) Sony 2300mAh AA cells in my Canon S1 for more than one year. No problems what so ever.This charger and battery package is a good value. However, I suggest buying some additional low-self-discharge cells for use in photo equipment. Read my reviews for more details and recommendations.

thanks, had canon on phone today and they said any nickel metal Ni-MH is ok, - i'd suggest people verify that themselves with canon, but doesn't have to be the canon brand charger they said. would like to read your other reviews nlee, how do i do that?

I was just given the PowerShot A560 (haven't had time to play with it, yet). Anyway, excuse my ignorance but what are NiMH cells and how are they different from alkaline?Thanks for your assistance.

I use these exact batteries with my Canon Poweshot S3 IS. Never had a problem in close to a year's time. Since my (and your) camera take "regular" AAs, these say they can be used in place of "regulars". I actually bought these specifically for the camera, but now use them for all kinds of things.

thanks Nancy, guess I'll be forced to get since I've shot about 50 pics on auto setting since I got camera, and have been thru 3 sets of regular batteries already.

I just bought the Canon PowerShot A550 and I want to buy a battery recharger set for it. The Sony BCG-34HE4 Super-Quick Worldwide Battery Charger sounds great, but somebody posted a warning about Sony batteries and their compatibility with Canon.Anybody know about how compatible my camera will be with this Sony battery charger?

Its comes with a charger and two batteries. If an original canon charger woild charge the batteries- i dont know.

The unit uses the Canon camera batteries (two). Therefore, you can use the Canon charger to charge the batteries. It also uses 6 AA batteries with the included adapter.

The battery charger I ordered also did not have Canon written on it, BUT it did recharge the battery for my camera. I've had no problems at all since I've purchased the product.

As I know original Canon charger may not work with non original (non-Canon) LP-E6 batteries.But this dual charger works good both with Canon LP-E6 and other brands LP-E6. As for me I have Wasabi Power LP-E6-JWP batteries and this dual charger works with them perfectly. And also it works with my pair of original Canon LP-E6s.

What I do is find the cheapest after - market on Amazon, which is typically pretty cheap. If that doesn't work I call Canon and plunk down the $70. I have 5 Canon SLRs and I'm not sure which camera I purchased this charger for. If you have the dough and want to be certain call 1-800canonusa. I believe that's the number. With these after-markets you take your chances based on reviews like I do. Pretty reliable those longer reviews.

You didn't say what camera model you have. It might not be compatible with the batteries. Read the list of compatible cameras. Also, a Canon camera might not recognize another manufacturer batteries but it might still be fully functional. You just might not get a visual warning as to how much charge remains in the batteries. Hope this helps.

I have only used the canon batteries. The canon battery charges and works fine.

I'm not an expert but just offering a suggestion which is to try some other batteries, even alkaline for a start and see if there's any difference. Maybe the batteries you bought are not holding a charge for some reason. I'm using Sony NiMh which i got with the Sony charger that i purchased here and although using a different Canon have not experienced this problem at all.

I have a 6D, that firmware, and STK batteries, and they work fine. Your Canon charger however, will not charge them properly. I got a free charger from STK that works with STK and Canon batteries. Just send them an email and they will get you one.

I purchased only the batteries. I used my chargers from my 60D or 5D Mk3. The batteries charged up in the same manner as my Canon branded batteries. However, a few months later, the Wasabi's failed to continue hold a charge. This was a progressive problem which worsten with time. They eventually would not charge at all, even within the same hour of being charged. I have no Idea if using Wasabi's charger would have made a difference. I know I will not find out from actual experience. Caveat emptor.

Yes. I use the Canon charger mostly, on all of my batteries, so I'm sure that the Wasabi charger will do the same. It works great.
2144482
Yes. Been using since I got them. Charges on the canon charger also with no issues.

Although I don't have this charger (I charge directly on the camera), it looks like the charger is compatible with Canon HFG10 batteries. Since this battery is the same size and the electrodes are in the same location, I have no reason to believer this charger wouldn't work with it.

These two contact chargers may work, but they don't have a connection to the thermistor in the battery pack (the "T" contact) like the real Canon charger and as a result, the pack could be overheating and they don't know. This is a safety hazard.

No charger. 100% compatible with canon charger. That is what I use. Fits perfectly in my 7D, same battery as a 5D Mark II.
