Does this has an LED to show when charge is complete? And, does it shut off automatically when charge is complete to prevent overcharging?

I have used its charger once I can't remember if it lit or not. I will do it and email u bk again. Then i used original canon charger! But battery life has been 1/20 of canon battery. This one dies within taking may be 30-40 shots within 3-4 days. I am thinking of returning them. Have had no time!

I too, have had uncertain results. After initially charging both for 12+ hours (first charge of 6 or so didn't work), I found that one never worked at all. My camera kept saying "change battery pack." The other one is working ok, but not as long as my original Canon pack. The charger light turned green after about an hour, but I don't think it was long enough.

no, the device has an LED that turns on when connected and changes color when fully charged (the charger, not the phone)

There's no on-off switch. To get a full charge, I usually just plug it in at night and unplug in the morning. However, I think it stays blue. When it's charging, it blinks. When it's charged, the light stays on.

It stays on to show battery status. If you disconnect it from the charger it will go from green to yellow to red until the battery is drained. I actually took mine off as it kept draining my battery. They sell one without the light indicators.

It does not need to be in the "off" position to charge. I don't recall if there is any "charging complete" indicator.

It has no indicator that I know of. I have left it plugged in for days at a time with no problems. I didn't know you could overcharge it. It is one of my prize possessions, Use it all the time everywhere.

It shows that the power is successfully connected. It goes out but never lets you know when fully charged. Sorry, I just let it go for a few hours.

Yes, the charging indicator is RED when the battery is charging. The RED LED goes out when the battery is fully charged. The directions indicating a BLUE charging indicator should be corrected. But considering the low cost of the unit, this is a minor issue that doesn't affect the normal operation of the charger.

This does have an automatic shut-off feature. It turns itself off if it's not charging or has completed charging after 30-60 seconds. I don't know about the second question, haha, but I can tell you that we have thoroughly enjoyed this charger.

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

It lights up when you charge it the light will turn of when done. It doesn't show how much it's charged.

There is an LED light. It's green when they are ready to provide charging, orange (hard to see it different than red) when the batteries are low, and red when the batteries don't have enough charge to charge something.It stops charging the batteries when they are full. The light also says when the batteries are done charging. It blinks when they are charging. What the light says is printed in the bottom of the unit.

I do not know if there is a mechanism to prevent over charging. For your second question: there is an LED with various patterns of blinking to indicate charge level. "Slow red blinking: 0-50%. Slow green blinking: 50-80%. Fast green blinking: 80-99%. Solid green: fully charged."

The light does turn off when charging is complete-- I just tested mine and it went from Amber to off to indicate it's charging state.

No.There is a charging light as you charge. In addition, a charging indicator shows you the bettery power at any time.

Yes, the indicator does blink while charging and goes to a steady light when complete.
