Is there one out there? I tried searching POTN, Amazon and B&H and couldn't come up with anything, maybe I'm just retarded though.
My XTi is gripped and it's kind of annoying to have to charge a single battery at a time. I have 3 batteries and it would be ideal if I could find a dual charger that I could put two batteries in while the 3rd charges in the standard Canon battery charger. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why not buy a third party charger and use two? I never understood why anyone would pay so much for Canon's dual charger. It's quite insane when you could buy so many extra chargers for the same price and charge like 5 batteries at once. I just use the two I have for my 5 batteries.
Or buy another battery so there's a set ready. Kinda makes sense since you have a grip and only 3 batteries.

Buy a 4th battery for $10 and always have 2 fully charged batteries to go. Cheaper than buying another charger which you wouldn't br able to use out in the field anyway. Unless you shoot more than 2000 shots on an outing, you'll always have power.
btw. the Canon dual charger only actually chargers 1 battery at a time.

I would either buy 2 and just use them at the same time, or Best Buy has dual chargers that will actually charge several different types of batteries, they have interchangeable inserts.

Sterlingtek or a number of Ebay sellers from Hong Kong. Usually higher capacities than the stock Canon batteries.
