Is the Wasabi charger interchangeable with OEM charger? (Can you charge Wasabi batteries in the OEM charger & vice-versa?)

I've charged Wasabi batteries in the Canon charger, and all was well. Haven't done it the other way. No real reason, didn't have the need to.

You actually need to use the Wasabi charger for the Wasabi batteries. OEM batteries will not work with the charger. I think the Wasabi batteries can work with OEM charger though. I haven't tested them yet.

Depends. I bought the Wasabi batteries and charger back in December 2012. At that time, The batteries were not "Canon 6D" compatible. So when you put them into the Canon charger it'd blink in error, in 6D it is listed as non compatible battery but still would work if your override that message. I think sometime after that, they have update the Battery where it works well on 6D, at least to the people who have responded to my original post. I have not purchased additional "updated" wasabi batteries. I'm pretty sure the Wasabi charger charges the Canon battery, but I did not test it for a full charge. Just short plug in to see what happens. Hope that answers your question. Depends. I bought the Wasabi batteries and charger back in December 2012.

It means you can charge the original Olympus battery with the Wasabi charger, never have had a problem!

The only thing I can say about the difference would be the manufacturer. Both the original battery and this Wasabi battery seem to preform about the same as far as my experience goes. The included charger works in the car or in a household outlet with either the with my original GoPro battery or Wasabi batteries. I have been using these batteries for the last 5 months in my Hero 3 Black Edition and have not had a problem. I hope this helps!

If the adapter fits and the charger has standard output -- go for it. I use almost entirely oem chargers. They're typically as good and cost a lot less.

Yes, they can be charged with the OEM charger. In fact, I don't have any other charger - so yeah, OEM works :)

Yes. It's perfectly safe to use the Wasabi charger with the original battery ...OR original charger with the Wasabi battery.Either way is perfectly safe to do.

In my case it works with Sony NP-BN battery, which came together with the camera, and also with Wasabi BTR-BN1-JWR. The latter came with Wasabi Power charger (2 of them). Actually, the Wasabi charger charges both batteries and does it much faster than Sony charger.

I'm not familiar with this part #. This charger works great for me. It actually works better than the old charger. If you left the battery in the old charger overnight, it would be very warm the next morning. With the new charger , it will be cool, both the battery and charger--this is good for the battery & power bill.

No - you need to buy a charger that's compatible with the new batteries. The clue is in the color ! The old chargers will not charge the Li-ion batteries properly and in fact risk overcharging them and burning them out. The new chargers are infinitely better (with an overcharging protection circuit), and actually have revived my old Ni-Cd batteries when their original chargers wouldn't charge them anymore. I have a P-117 that I bought on eBay and have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

Yes, I have charged the batteries with my canon charger and the canon battery with the Wasabi charger. it works both ways for me

I'm not sure I understand your question but it seems to me you're asking 1) Can this unit charge your laptop battery via a USB port on the laptop? I don't think any laptop allows you to charge its battery via a USB port.2)If you are asking whether or not you will able to charge the batteries of other devices by routing power through the laptop's USB port into the WASABI charger's USB port then I don't think so because the USB port on the charger is listed as an output port.

Yes, and the original battery can be charged in the Wasabi (and in the car too, as the Wasabi charger comes with a car cord as well).

Thank you for your reply. I have used other than OEM batteries with other devices and in some cases the battery level indicator in those devices would not function properly. Glad to learn that this is not a problem with the Wasabi replacement for the EN-EL12. Best wishes for the New Year.

You can buy the batteries on Amazon. Just do a search. There is a set that has two batteries and a charger for about $20. I think the brand was called Wasabi. Good deal. It's what I bought and the batteries haven't given me any problems.

I used my charger (marked LCH-BN1) with the Wasabi batteries marked BTR-BN1-JWP in Italy and all worked well. Simply slide the gold end of the battery onto the two silver posts. I also used it with a Sony battery. Worked great.

The charger is the camera and the extra Wasabi does not come with an external charger..think they might be available..warranty on the extra battery is unknown but they can be replaced in the $30 range..this is the best deal and I'm very pleased with the seller.

Hello Margaret, I bought this type of battery for family member overseas. You can use the same original charger. It does not come with the charger. Hope this helps.
