          we have 3 of these batteries for our frezzis. Have never had any problems with the supplied charger. Takes a long time to charge (overnight) but always works. Lightweight, small and easy to use batteries. I did make the mistake of using a different " lead battery" charger by accident we had laying around and the battery started smoking and almost caught fire. will never make that mistake again :)

          Purchased this battery pack kit to use with the lowel i light for wedding photography. Charger never worked & overheated , when I called bescor for help I was told it might be the charger and to go buy a new one for [$] because we only warranty our products for 90 days. DO NOT BUY ANY BESCOR PRODUCTS THEY ARE CHEAP POORLY MADE OVERPRICED PRODUCTS WITH NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!
