Is the Wasabi charger interchangeable with OEM charger? (Can you charge Wasabi batteries in the OEM charger &amp; 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.

The Wasabi NB-6L batteries can be charged in the OEM charger for Canon NB-6L; I would be very surprised if it didn't also work the other way around, though I haven't actually done it.

Absolutely YES. I´ve a pair of these batteries, and I use the charger that comes with them to charge one, and the original Canon charger for the second one to charge at the same time. In fact, the original Canon LP-E8 charger takes around 20-30 mins less to charge them compared to the Wasabi charger.

I don't know about the Vivitar charger but the Wasabi batteries do not properly register on the Canon Charger and will not fully charge on the Canon charger. Vivitar may be the same issue. Full charge for these Wasabi batteries requires they be charged on Wasabi not Canon charger.

I bought this charger to charge a Canon NB-5L battery.I researched this on the Internet and the answer that I kept getting was:"No, they are not interchangeable due to a difference in size"

The charger works for the wasabibatteries as well as the GoPro batteries. Batteries appear to have about the same durability as the GoPro batteries. I would not hesitate to repurchase this item

Can't answer your question directly but these extra batteries and charger from Amazon for about $22 work well: Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Charger for Ricoh DB-65 and Ricoh G700, G700SE, G600, GR, GR Digital, GR Digital II, GR Digital III, GR Digital IV, GX100, GX200, Caplio R3, R4, R5, R30

Yes you can use the original charger. I have found if you charge them then let them go completely dead a couple of times they seem to last longer from then on out. Good luck to you William hope you have as good of luck as I have had with mine.

Yes, you can. The problem is if you're asking the question, you shouldn't. I have contacted Shorai technical and they actually recommended to me a programmable Li battery charger the R/C folks use once they knew I knew what I was talking about. I, of course, believe my charger is better and have programmed it. THe hard part is determining the balance connector they use, which is NOT proprietary. I use a Cellpro from Revolectrix. I will look up the connector when I get home. The Shorai connectors change the wire harness from 5 wire to 7 wire for some unknown reason. Other than, perhaps, to force people into using their charger. Yes, you can. The problem is if you're asking the question, you shouldn't.

I don't know what "OEM" means or what type of charger that is (I looked it up and I saw a variety of different chargers). But I can tell you that I have a "Nikon Battery Charger MH-24" and I use that to charge the batteries that came with the battery grip kit (although one of the batteries that came with the kit was and still is defective, so look out for that).

I ordered this item and I've used the batteries in my DMC-LX5 without any problems at all. I've also used my regular charger that came with the DMC-LX5 to charge the Wasabi batteries without a problem. I haven't used the Wasabi charger with my DMC-LX5 battery but I see no reason why it wouldn't work properly since everything else has been fine. To me this item is absolutely perfect as a cheaper replacement for the DMC-LX5 Panasonic battery and charger.

I purchased only the batteries. I used my chargers from my 60D or 5D Mk3. The batteries charged up in the same manner as my Canon branded batteries. However, a few months later, the Wasabi's failed to continue hold a charge. This was a progressive problem which worsten with time. They eventually would not charge at all, even within the same hour of being charged. I have no Idea if using Wasabi's charger would have made a difference. I know I will not find out from actual experience. Caveat emptor.

The Olympus battery can be put in the Wasabi charger. You can't put the Wasabi battery in the Olympus charger.

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.

You shouldn't need a different charger. Just be sure you wire the batteries exactly the way the old ones were. The ah rating just means the batteries you are purchasing will last longer under load before they discharge.

Yes. I use my Canon charger when at home and have the wasabi charger in my camera bag to use when traveling.
