Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon 2590B002 CG-800 Lithium Ion Battery Charger for 800 Series Batteries (Retail Packaging)
Customer Review: Smart charger to protect your investment
Summary: 5 Stars
The Confusion:
There seems to be some confusion why the charger is recommended when the videocam seems to originally come with one.
If you own a videocam like f.e. HF11, HF10, HF100 etc. or any other you will find included a POWER SUPPLY !! <-- read this ? ... let it sink in ...
Its true that the power supply can - while its connected through the videocamera - charge the battery, but that is NOT what its made for primarily.
The difference:
a) A power supply does not care if your battery is half full or empty it just connects it and keeps it connected even after it became already full. A power supply also doesnt care if the battery is charged slow or fast.
b) The charger has some intelligence built in. It does communicate with the battery and checks the battery status. It then (dis)charges it GENTLY to the maximum possible and keeps it at that state. It stops loading when the battery is full and indicates with the green light that charging has finished.
The result:
Using the power supply regularly will reduce the lifecycle of the rechargeable battery, hence it will suffer an earlier death.
The charger itself:
- the charger gives each of your batteries a personalized treatment
- Its true that the packaging is helplessly oversized
- I found the charger to be comfortable AND robust enough for travelling
- NO messing with cables
- You can charge one battery meanhwile using the other on the go
--- How this charger protects your videocam: ---
- maximizes the lifecycle of the battery
- reduces the usage of the compact power supply connector on the videocam
You MUST plugin the power supply to the videocam in order to copy the video data to the PC/MAC. Those connection plugs usually break after warranty time. Thats another reason why the charger is recommended.
So, try to use the power supply not too often, or at least very gentle when pluggin it in/out to avoid disappointment or save your videos on the SD card.
