SEE UPDATE: I changed my rating from 4 stars to one.I bought this for Nikon batteries and it does not work properly with them. Also, they are willing to take it back but at your expense and it cost as much to ship back as it di to buy the product. I would suggest not buying this product.You get what you pay for is the first thing I can say about this.
First and foremost, it works. Batteries charge and I suppose that's the most important thing for a battery charger to do.
Construction feels light. I'm still not 100% sure if I think it feels "cheap" or if it feels "portable"; it IS designed to work as a travel charger too and includes a 12v DC adapter for car charging.
The charging indicators are simple enough, but also confusing. There are 4 red LEDS that blink and vaguely indicate the progress of the charge. They remain constantly blinking though, which is a sign of error on just about every other battery charger I've ever owned. I can't really hold that against this product because it does what it does reliably, but it also seems to ignore convention and I'm not sure I like that.
I've used both Nikon batteries and aftermarket batteries in this and both charge. I will note, however, that the batteries don't fit perfectly. In the worst case, I actually have to put a book on top of them to keep the contacts of the charger and battery together. Nikon OEM batteries have this issue too, so I consider this a problem with the charger and not the batteries. Something claiming suitability for EN-EL14 batteries should be able to allow for variations within that model of battery that the manufacturer themselves allow for.
But then again, you get what you pay for. Aftermarket single chargers cost $10 more than this and single OEM chargers cost more than double. For the convenience of charging two batteries at a time (I have a camera grip that uses two at a time, so it's not just a matter of "rotate them"), I'm actually okay with it's quirks.Excellent quality construction with the ability to charge two batteries at a time. This is a must for the photojournalist on-the-go.When I have it in my hands, plug in the batteries and have them come out charged and ready for service, then ask me. Right now, it will take about another week until I see the charger... . I expect this device to work just fine. Most (99.98%) of the products I buy on Amazon are excellent and fill a need I find in my life. I'm not only glad for Amazon and their governor, but I'm really glad for the products I find here and the confidence I have in their system to protect me, the shopper.
