Recenly bought one of the above.

Is there a charger that chargers two batteries at once?

I take it when there is batteries in the grip one battery runs out then the battery icon on the top is full again and goes down as the second battery does.

yes but kinda expensive though. Lookup CA-PS400.

It uses both equally until they are both drained
if they both go in with a different charge, it drains from the battery with the most juice until they are even, and then it uses both evenly

Roughly £50 not to bad when I've sold my single one... Thanks

Cheaper to buy an additional 2 generic batteries for $20, or only use 1 at a time in the grip, while recharging the other.

I would say that it's definitely worth the money. It's always been frustrating for me that I didn't have a second charger.

I'd rather have 2 single chargers...that way if one craps out, you lose it, it gets stolen, whatever, you still have something...with one double charger, if anything happens to that, you're hooped.

I have 5 chargers for BP511s, but that's another story lol

I've been frustrated since I sold my 20D with my second charger... I wish I still had 2.

Second that. I've had a charger fry once when I didn't have any good way to replace it. Fortunately I had lots of batteries around. Another advantage of multiple single-battery chargers - the Canon two-battery charger doesn't charge both batteries at once; it charges first one and then the other so having two singles is faster.

If, however, you've got 2 cameras with different battery types (40D and XT, say, or either and an SD-series, or you need AAs as well (who doesn't?)), Delkin has a charger that handles two batteries at once and you can swap plates for the different battery types you may have. I haven't tried it, but it sounds promising. Around $50-$60 with one set of plates; the plates are $10 or so, IIRC (haven't looked for a few months).

the CA-PS400 holds 2 batteries but charges one battery at a time
once one is completely charged...it charges the next battery

it doesnt charge simultaneously
might as well have 2 single chargers to have them charge at the same time

edit: sorry its the same thing the above poster said..haha
