Budget-conscious and versatile, the Compact AC/DC Charger for LP-E6 Battery from Pearstone is a prudent choice, providing you with 3 ways to charge out of the gate, and the ability to charge your USB devices as well! The fold-out AC plug provides normal in-wall charging for the US, and allows for easy travel and storage. The included cigarette lighter DC adapter provides in-vehicle charging, while the Euro plug adapter can be used for European wall sockets. Along with charging the Pearstone LP-E6, the Compact Charger is also compatible with the Canon LP-E6 battery.
As mentioned above, the Compact Charger goes beyond the call of duty, charging your USB devices as well. Just connect your device via its USB charging cable, and connect the Compact Charger to the wall or cigarette outlet in your vehicle. Additionally, the Compact Charger can also be used with the optional ADC-AC AC Adapter from Pearstone.
With its easily interchangeable plate, the charger can also be used for other battery models that are not listed above - via the separate purchase of an additional battery plate.

This isn't built like a tank... but I didn't order a tank.It is exactly what I wanted. It is solidly built. It is well designed. It has an extra feature and charges the LP-E6 battery efficiently. The fold-in AC plug will not break unless the operator drastically mishandles it. The USB port is handy... I charge my cell phone from the car and charge the camera battery at the same time... Oh yeah, It comes with a DC car plug as well. It charges one battery at a time. I plug it into a wall socket at the wedding or into my car while in route. Buy this and you'll be satisfied.

This thing charges my batteries and it is at a lower cost then the Canon charger, so I suppose I shouldn't complain; but the thing is kind of flimsy. There is an attachment plate that comes off almost everytime I remove a battery. Kind of annoying, but oh well. I do appreciate that it comes with a car charger. I probably won't use it much, but nice to know it's there if necessary. Only time will tell how long it will last.

It's much cheaper, more compact and comes with an adapter to use in the car.
I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money on the Canon brand for this item.

Just got a new Canon 7d and plan on going on a trip. Wanted an additional battery charger. This one was half the price of the Canon. Also it comes with a plug to use in car lighter.

I have only used this once, and I wish it had a usb cable that came with it. Other than that, the build quality is pretty solid for the price. I'd buy it again.

Comments about Pearstone Compact AC/DC Charger for LP-E6 Battery:
Bought this to charge camera batteries while on camping trips. Tested it on AC and car-outlet power; it works. Battery fits well in adapter. Downgrading one star because one of the external springs on the car-adapter plug broke the first time I plugged it in. Will exchange for an identical replacement from B&H as this product appears to be essentially OK despite the QC problem I experienced.

Hey, this is a handy dandy little charger. I LOVE the fact I can use it in my car.
It does have a piece that comes out, probably for a different battery. So just watch that, and you will be happy go lucky.

I bought this as a backup charger for the regular Canon charger that came with my Canon 6D. The Pearstone works perfectly. And the major plus - it comes with a car cable so I can charge my camera battery while traveling. Fine product at a very reasonable price.

Comments about Pearstone Compact AC/DC Charger for LP-E6 Battery:
I have only used it once so far. It seems to work fine and is nice and small. I got it to travel. I would rate it a five star but one thing that is odd is that the direction say to charge an hour past the time the light indicate it is charged.(?) The Canon (more expensive) charger will tell you (by speed of lights flashing) the progress of your charge - and when complete. Perhaps not a big deal but something to consider.(note: I haven't used enough to recommend or not but this review process force everyone to do that)

Comments about Pearstone Compact AC/DC Charger for LP-E6 Battery:
Bought 2 of these to charge Pear lithium batts for my on board monitor They are cheap good and fast. They are are very light and you can charge any USB device off odd built in usb input.Has flip out plug for easy packing when not in use. Plug is limiting in taking up power strip or wall space unless you get plug ext adapter so you can use power inputs or wall inputs more efficiently

I like the idea of charging from the cigarette lighter while traveling. It seems to take longer to charge a LP-E6 battery than a Canon, but that is a minor setback.

Comments about Pearstone Compact AC/DC Charger for LP-E6 Battery:
I have owned many of the Canon branded chargers and this is my first 3rd party charger for the LP-E6 batteries. I liked that it had folding plugs just like the Canon version and includes a Euro plug adapter with it. I have also used the DC charger function and it performed as expected. The adapter plate fell out once while I was pulling a batter off the charger, but I saw no problem with it. It easily slid back on and seemed secure.
