As an avid recreational photographer who gladly takes in forums described experiences as an opportunity for purchases, I have the Hähnel Twin V Pro ordered me unceremoniously on Amazon. Anticipation was told that I have returned the battery charger after a few days. Short background for my purchase and the reason for the return. I own next to a Canon EOS 1Dmk 3, which I'm used to a double charger, a 5Dmk3 with battery grip. To this end, Canon sets but at a primitive, but good working Mono loader. A dual battery charger, analogous to the 1 Series, there is no. In this respect I was excited about the reviews for Hahnel and the possibility of simultaneous battery charging. On the site was told by that Hahnel unlike the battery charger of the 1 (about 500 as the price of Canon is justified remains a company secret) can load at the same time. The part loads parallel and not only battery 1 and then 2. The battery delivery is fast, packaging and the device itself were also well. At the look and feel of Hahnels could not be faulted. Also worth mentioning is the wide range of accessories. But now the big But. Unfortunately, the device has, unlike the Canon Original loaded no different (original) battery to 100%. At a designated by the Hahnel device charge level of 100%, so full, my 5Dmk3 has a charge level of only 88% displayed. This was done even if the batteries are charged for longer than necessary. When changing to the Canon charger this was known by the flashing of the diode to an incomplete battery level. If the charge level in the battery charger Canon by the green diode displays as having been made, the DSLR showed the battery actually as charged. Conclusion: Although the Hahnel did not cost the world, I accept no part that does their job only to 88% and not 100%. It is unfortunate that Canon just for the 1 Series offers a battery charger, although battery handles are sold for two batteries. That's quite a bit more reasonable and would require certainly a free adaptation.
