Title: Canon 1 series compatible battery charger?
Post by: cmburns on October 22, 2006, 12:49:19 am

Can ayone reccomend a small lightweight battery charger for the Canon NP-E3 batteries? I'm trying to cut weight and size from my baggage and the big honking battery charger from Canon seems like a great place to start. I don't need to charge 2 batteries at once, just one at a time is fine.

yes i can. its the Charger Devices CD-BCNPE3 Charger. it is available from www.eastgear.com. yes they are in Singapore. it took 4 days to get to me in NJ. it is a single battery charger and does its job very well. no refresh capability but then again its not a necessity for its purpose. it is considerably more compact then the original.

it is available in US and EU plug baseline configs. i've been using it steadily for the past 4 months now w/o any hiccups. i'm even debating a second one.

Brilliant sjms! I remembered of this compact charger but couldn't find the web site where I saw it a few months ago. With the weight/size restrictions on flights it might prove handy.

i forgot about that one. you are right. though,back when i got mine it was EU plug only (US adapter supplied) and naturescapes didn't carry it yet. next one will come from them as needed.

Thanks for the tip! Just what I've been looking for. Ordered one from Eastgear.
