Hey everyone,
So recently I lost the charger for my 1d mark III and apparently the original costs 300 to replace! Does anyone know of a off brand charger that actually works with the original canon lp-e4 battery? thanks in advance

Electricity is so simple. They are really trying to milk this one. $300 is absurd. yup...they figure if you can afford a +/- $5,000 camera (new) you can shell out $300 for the charger... -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-

To be fair, the charger for the 1D3/4 is a bit more complicated than the average Canon charger. It charges 2 batteries at once, and has the ability to recalibrate the batteries as well. Still not really worth $300 tho.

I does not charge two batteries at once, it charges them one at a time.
