I recently ordered some equipment for my XTi, including two Sterlingtek NB-2LH replacements. I didnt think about getting another charger when I ordered the batteries, so ill order that in a couple days. I'll probably get the charger from Sterlingtek. But before I do, I was wondering; does anyone make chargers that could charge two NB-2LH batteries at once?

The NB-2LH charger is the ONLY product from Sterlingtek that I don't recommend in terms of battery chargers or batteries. It doesn't seem to hold the battery in place well. In this case, the Canon charger is better.

The BP511 chargers I like as well or better than Canon's especially since they can be charged in a 12V cig plug too.

Ask and ye shall receive!

Good and bad news....bad news, you have to buy the "charging plates" for your specific battery type. Good news is that you can change plates for a variety of batteries types, so no need to buy multiple chargers or chargers for any upgrade/ change in camera.

I have found another 2 battery charger; the Hahnel Twin V Professional Charger. Adorama sells it for $69.95. Here's a link: http://www.adorama.com​/HHTWINVC.html (external link)

I also found a review at this site: www.it-enquirer.com/main/ite/​more/1099/ (external link)

Here's a link to the company's website: www.hahnel.ie/index.cf​m?page=chargers&id=6&p​Id=6 (external link)

Looks interesting if you need two batteries to charge, but it is considerably bulkier than the canon provided charger and you need a cord.

I have owned this dual charger for almost two years now and it has worked flawlessly for me. It also comes with two different cords so that you can charge at home (110 volt) or in the car (12 volt). At $14.95, I don't think you can pick up anything less expensive, either.
