Fast charge, leaves good impression, very flexible

The charger is very well made and makes a robust impression.
The battery to be charged safely and accurately recorded. The charging status
is indicated by a LED (green for full battery, red with active load).
However, the control lamp remains lit green if no battery is inserted.
So the unit also consults without the battery in any case some power, and
seis only for the lamp itself. As much standby power wasted but I have not measured.
I put the thing after charging easy.

An extra point is awarded to the unit for the multiple connection options.
It can be operated with 12 volts in the car, at the normal power socket or via an
5 volt powered USB port, as for example is common to any notebook or PC.
For this purpose, at the same time another device, such as a cell phone, be charged via a USB cable.

The charging time - at least when connected via the power grid - is top notch. A charging
goes around twice as fast as the load on the camera. Neither battery is still
the charger heated. The capacity of the battery is after such a quick charge as high.

For the price of about 15 euros (as of May 2014) definitely highly recommended. 5 Stars.
