 Canon Battery Charger Kit November 11, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Much better than having to take pounds of non-rechargeable batteries on trips. Plugs in anywhere (with the appropriate adaptors plugs); takes little space. Wouldn't go anywhere without it!
 All Around Good Product November 9, 2007

This is an all around good charger / battery set. The batteries charge pretty quickly (all four batteries are done overnight and charging just two batteries decreases the charging time even more). Once the batteries are charged they last in my camera much longer than the store bought batteries I had previously.
The only think that I don't really like about the charger is that while charging and when done the unit produces a rather loud buzzing sound. If the device it in a quiet room it needs to be unplugged when charging is finished.
All around this is a good product and I would recommend it.
Good batteries, BUT get very HOT when charging. August 21, 2007

These batteries are perfect for my Canon A620, what I don't like, is the fact they get so VERY HOT when they're charging that I can't hold them in my hand, nor install them in my camera until they cool down first.
I called Canon and asked them why this happens, and I couldn't get a straight answer from anyone.

I purchased these batteries because Canon recommends them for their digital cameras. They do last A LOT longer than regular batteries, even lithium... They charge quicker than other rechargables, I would recommend getting the charger with the batteries and another set, if you are anything like me, you hate being in the middle of taking great shots and the batteries die!!! I keep the extras charged and ready in my bag.
 There are better alternatives available at lower cost August 2, 2007

I usually stay with Canon accessories for my Canon cameras, just for the 'peace of mind' I can expect from the same manufacturer. But in this case, I see no reasons to choose this package (Canon CBK4-300 Battery and Charger Kit) just because of the brand name. Consider the following facts:
1. Canon is not a battery manufacturer. So those 2500mAh rechargeable NiMH cells are simply re-labeled from other vendors.
2. All 2500mA NiMH cells in the market are plagued by the problem of high self-discharge rate. That is, if you charge up a set of those AA cells and leave them in your camera for a few weeks, they may become completely drained before you can take any pictures.
For the price of this Canon battery and charger kit, you can buy an equally good 'smart' charger (for example, the Sony BCG-34HE4), plus eight of the latest generation LSD (low-self-discharge) cells such as SANYO eneloop, Rayovac Hybrid, or Kodak Pre-Charged. Even though their stated capacities appear lower at 2000-2100mAh, those cells can hold 80% of their charge for 6 months or longer. So you don't always have to recharge your camera's batteries the night before, and you can keep another set of charged batteries as standby. This makes LSD cells much more suitable for digital camera applications.
Personally, I have retired all of my old-genreation (2500mAh) NiMH cells, and am using only LSD cells in photo equipment now.
