I bought this to accompany my Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder, specifically for an overseas trip. The camcorder came with an adapter/charger which connected to the camera for external powering or charging the batteries on camera, but you can't use the camera and charge simultaneously using the supplied charger.

The batteries used on the HF10 and its successor is usually the 809, which has very limited runtime. For use at a social event or other place where AC is available, the CG-800 allows you to leapfrog the batteries, one running while one charges. It also makes for much lighter traveling and stows easily in a camera bag, since it has no cord. Its plug-in prongs fold simply into the body, and the battery attaches easily.

It also is compatible with overseas power. I simply attached a European style outlet adapter, and it worked perfectly, recognizing the change to 220/50HZ. Some countries catering to US tourists have a few US type outlets in the hotel rooms, but they are at a premium when traveling with a family so it's nice be able to use local power.

There is an amber light indicating the attached battery is charging properly. This light turns green to indicate charging done. This is handy, but some type of level indicating bar would have been useful.

While this takes the place of the corded adapter, it would have been nice to have a terminal allowing it to power a camera via an adapter cable.

I didn't get around to timing the charge cycle, but it was probably well under two hours for an 809 battery. On our foreign trip this was never a problem.

Having not faced a surge, I have no idea whether or not this is surge protected. Perhaps that was not a design consideration because this is not intended for connection to a camera.

Ok, this is usefull so I don't HAVE TO use my camcorder just to recharge batteries...
But it could have a power cord... If you try to put a big battery in this, and then stick it to a wall, you're going to see the whole thing falling to the ground... better use in a floor plug.

And it doesn't show the "charging" light with batteries that are not canon, like pearstone.....

    I bought Canon VIXIA HF G10 camcorder with charger from B&H. The products are very good so far for my home use. I always rely on B&H for genuine products, reasonable price and professional service. Never had a bad experience in a decade..

          The canon video camera I purchased only came with in camera battery charging capabilities. This is the only option if you want to be charging a battery while using the camera for video recording. Plus, it take less time to charge with this charger.

              Your need this charger if you want to use your canon camcorder and charge your second battery pack. No power cord just hangs off the outlet. bad if your battery pack is a BP-827 or larger.

                  No Third Parties here. A must have at a great price, Canon wants almost twice as much when bought from them. Compact and so much easier than hooking up the camera to AC. Continue shooting while recharging your spare battery.

                  Really this does what you expect and gives you the advantages of having an off-camera charging solution. Could perhaps charge faster although I'm not an expert in battery tech. I'm using it with BP-819 Canon battery which gives me about 3 hours after a full charge on my Vixia G10.

                                  More compact than the standard charger for the XA10... Good stuff!

                                      I tried to save money with a knock-off, bad decision. Buy from a good dealer with quality products.

                                      Now have 2 batteries. AC charger for camera is slow and wanted to recharge both batteries at same time. This charger is much faster than AC adapter for in-camera charging. This charger will recharge a 2 hour battery in not much more time than in-camera adapter will charge a 1 hour battery. On vacation, use both batteries during day and recharge both at night.

                                        Wanted an external charger so I can charge the batteries for my Canon Vixia HF S20 outside of the camera. This works as promised. Fast, compact, secure.
