Will the internal stock battery pack AND the bacpac charge simultaneously when *installed* on the camera and plugged into the bacpac charge port?

GoPro official answer is that same as amiel answered:"Yes they can be, plug charger into camera, lights on camera and bacpac should come on. Its called charge through."

Absolutely YES. I´ve a pair of these batteries, and I use the charger that comes with them to charge one, and the original Canon charger for the second one to charge at the same time. In fact, the original Canon LP-E8 charger takes around 20-30 mins less to charge them compared to the Wasabi charger.

Yes the battery in the charging cradle needs on to fiddle with it...in order for the terminals to connect properly. It is a bit of a pain, but it could be worse....the battery charger for my camera.

No. You have to plug the whole camera into a wall outlet to charge the battery inside it.

No, I cannot see current charge on the adapter. My camera only shows current charge of the main battery.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this product.As far as I can see, the lcd bacpac does not have a battery in it so cannot extend the life of the camera.You can either have a battery bacpac OR an lcd bacpac.Or does somebody know better?

This works great with the BMPCC..either with the battery options or with a dedicated battery pack.

No. You just use the charger you have and charge them one after another. It's pretty amazing how much charge you'll have with 2 batteries powering your camera. It literally lasts for hours. I still consider it the best money I've spent on my Canon.

Yes it will charge, but it is smaller so it sits in a small ledge. I have had trouble getting any other batteries to work in the camera.

No, there is no communication issue between the camcorder and the battery after it's installed. I have a Canon Battery Charger to charge this battery.

I have the same camera and this battery works just fine. You can also use plain old AA batteries in it but just don't try to charge them. This battery pack is made up of two AA rechargeable batteries.

It comes with a battery pack you hook up to the camera and plugged in. It gets charged.

I highly recommend the external charger and an extra battery, so you can be shooting with one while the other is charging. I bought this charger: Panasonic PADEA65BB DE-A65BB Battery Charger for DMW-BCG-10 and this spare battery: Panasonic PADMWBCG10PP DMW-BCG10PP ID Secured Battery They both work well.

Yes, you can. Though if you google the subject, you will find that some users report it does not boost the battery on the v3 as well as it did on the v2. Perhaps the battery does not have as much capacity as the newer one?The advantage that I find is, the battery can come out of the bacpac. With the v3 its all one unit. You can get some of the Wasabi batteries here on amazon for a great price and they get very good reviews. Then you can have multiple batteries and use the bacpac as a standalone charger. This way you can be recharging one battery while using another.

Hi Patricia,the battery of the camera is charged using the dedicated battery charger BC-CSK. The battery cannot be charged in the camera. Thanks_Mitch

They both charge at the same time if the battery is turned on during charging.

Agreed with Keith's answer, I charge both the original and this one in the standard charger. Just swap them out when I get home after taking shots. Great backup for the price.
