I can't get the battery out of the charger. Is it supposed to be a Vivitar brand? I have a Canon t3i

It is hard to get out. I put my finger on side of battery. Between battery and charger and push battery toward the oppersite side and push up at same time.

Battery brand doesn't matter. The easiest way to release the battery is, with the charger in the upright/vertical position, push down on the battery as if you were sliding it out of the charger. A little bit of effort is required but not much.

I have had no problems removing the battery. Make sure you are pulling it from the right side. As the picture shows from the top. If you try from the bottom it has a latch and its impossible to remove from that end. Hope this helps. G.

I had the same problem. The battery is a really tight fit in the charger but I was able to get it out with a little persistence.

It should work on the Canon t3i. The battery is a tight fit. I get mine out by pushing on the side of the battery and pushing up at the same time.

Hi! I bought it for my T3i and it doesn't even fit into the hole! Help please!

I was about to suggest first checking if the battery is inserted in the right position too. When the battery is charging there is a light in the camera. Also...because it happened to me: do you press the on-off button? If your camera is new check if the battery does not have a plastic little tapeon the poles that would originaly have to avoid leaking power. Good luck!

I am having the same experience. I guess I'd better return this camera. I mean, if it won't even turn on, what good is it? What a waste of time. My husband bought me a Vivitar pocket camcorder for Christmas, it works. I guess I'll just stick with that. After all...it works...kind of a basic requirement.

I honestly don't know. Mine charged both the batteries that came with the bundle as well as the original camera battery. Makes one wonder if the Original battery contacts are making contact with the Charger contacts due to some minute difference in battery case molding. The other likely reason is that your original battery has shorted. Can you charge it in the camera? If not, then you have a bad battery.

I would think that just having a good hot shoe connection is the most relevant thing. I use a Vivitar 285HV sometimes, but it may be the lower trigger voltage version. It fires that unit just fine, as well as tripping the shutter on my camera, with a remote shutter cord that came with it.

I have the same problem. I just received Canon lens adapter for Canon S3IS. It doesn't fit. There isn't any way to attach it.

I've never done it that way. I have a couple of chargers and I always remove the battery, charge it, and put it back into the camera. I have several batteries and a couple different Lumix bodies. I don't even know how to charge the battery inside the camera!

I received the Vivitar QC-901 with my package. According to Vivitar customer service it is not compatible with the LI-92B, even though this battery is in the TG3 and is listed in the description by Butterfly photo for this package.

I bought an off-brand battery charger for my EN-EL3e Nikon battery (about 7 years old). The battery just died. Don't know if this is related or not.

Mine got completely stuck and I had to take them to the camera store to get them removed. I don't want to damage my beautiful new camera, so I am only using Canon batteries from now on.

Mine worked for about 6 months and then the camera stopped recognizing the battery. I was told by a professional photographer that off brand batteries are notorious for this. The charger still works and charges my Nikon brand batteries as well.

I believe you have to take it out. The camera comes with a battery charger.

Is it the camera you are asking about or the charger? The camera is easy. The charger is hard, especially if it has been in the charger for some length of time. The battery seems to warp, making it very difficult to remove. I finally had to use pliers to hang onto the battery.

I don't have this one any longer but I'm going to assume this one was like the Remington I used to have...If that's the case, it won't turn on when it's attached to the charger. I think it's meant as a safety feature. If you're unplugged and it's still not working, I don't have any suggestions other than returning it.

YES! I returned my first one because Canon said this was not normal - but now I'm having problems with the second. Are they lying? Also, does anyone think it's the actual connection of the batteries in the compartment? Should I return this or just accept this is how the product works? I'm so frustrated!

I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery. I am using a battery grip (wich came with 2 Canon LP-6E replacement batteries. The original LP-6E battery in the original Canon charger did not complete its 1st charge and overnight. It was stuck on like 90%.. I placed it into the battery grip took some shots with the camera. Then placed it back into the original Canon charger. This time the charge completed and all is fine. So there may be some start up quirks with these batteries... I never experienced it before, with any kind of Canon batteries. FYI. I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery.
