My NB-6L batteries don't fit in this Vivitar travel charger, included in this package. My NB-6L has three contacts. This charger has 2+2. Wrong?

The contacts look different but they do fit. I had trouble fitting mine at first. Now I can easily lock in my old NB-6L battery into the Vivitar charger but at first I thought "you've got to be kidding me?" I really thought it wasn't going to fit. I can't explain better how to make it fit, but keep trying and you'll find how it clicks in. I remember it being tricky and it took me like 20 tries seriously! While I'm answering I just wanna throw in there that the travel plug for the car didn't work at all and I've tried it in two different cars at this point so that wasn't fun.

Yes I thought the same thing at first and then I noticed the positive and negative side on the charger and looked at the battery and matched them up. It turns out you only need the 2 contacts to charge the battery. I tested that out and it worked fine.

If you place the batteries face up with the 3 contacts on your left and the slide them into the recessed slot, the charger will work just fine. I have used it for charging 3 different brands of batteries and had no trouble at all.

This charger is only for Shorai battieries. It comes only with a Shorai connector. For other batteries you can read about the Battery Tender Green Lithium Junior 002-0198LI

Make sure you put the battery in with the flat side of the battery facing out towards you, It wont make contact the other way. And of course make sure the contacts of the battery are facing the metal pins of the charger. It seems kinda ass backwards. I hope you get it to work. My experiance with the batteries has been good. Good luck

They do not have a brand name on them, just the LI-50B size numbers. The charger itself is a Vivitar.

I've had good luck with universal chargers. The size you described will fit into this charger. Usually there's a list of compatible batteries for the charger. I would recommend searching for a universal charger with your battery model number. That should give you a few options to choose from.

I received the Vivitar QC-901 with my package. According to Vivitar customer service it is not compatible with the LI-92B, even though this battery is in the TG3 and is listed in the description by Butterfly photo for this package.

No. They will not fit this charger. Rule of thumb for these types of batteries, first 2 numbers are diameter in mm. Second 2 number are length in mm.

If it is the Vivitar Rapid Travel Charger that I received, the answer is yes. The picture on the website shows a different charger, but the Vivitar I received worked fine as do the batteries.

No, only two can be charged because of the diameter of the battery. TrustFire (China) makes a charger that will fit them correctly (TR-006 for example). With the NiteCore charger, you either have to cock the 26650 battery slightly sideways or insert a 1/16"/1mm thick piece of copper between the positive end of the battery and the charger in order to make proper contact for charging. The NiteCore may be a better charger but they dropped the ball on the design of the charger. They could have added 1/8" width to each plastic charging slot and made it more universal.

I will never purchase this charger ever again, if you read the 1 stars in reviews theirs just like mine and had basically the same problems. I ended up buying a B6AC 80watt 6amp charger for about the same price and have used it constantly for 2 years now with out a problem. But the answer to your question they both will charge NiMh,NiCd,LiPo,LiOn batteries.

You really don't want to do that. I have a special 6 or12 volt charger for that purpose; it's a Smart Shot charger, by Yuasa. Accumate also makes an excellent 6/12 charger. I have both. Bear in mind that if you set up your 2 (6) volt batteries in a series configuration; you're dealing with 2 separate batteries with individual and unique needs. It is definitely not advised at all! With respect, buy yourself a separate charger and use the Optimate 6 in a way it is specifically designed for; that's 12 volts in an individual battery. It is clearly my advice to "NOT" use it on individual batteries that are hooked up to total 12 volts. That way you'll have 100% conditions to obtain the best outcome. Hope this helps.

OK, I have a Sony battery. I insert with the backside facing me (the arrow side is not showing), and with the 4 copper contacts facing the prongs (at the top of the charger) If that doesn't work, you may have the wrong battery somehow. Hope this helps.

No, the contacts on this charger won't even match up to the Bp-2L13 battery. Plus, this charger is made for the smaller 7.2v Canon batteries.

I don't think so. This charger is a 3.5 volt charger and fits much larger batteries (for high powered flashlights). AA's are, I believe 1.5 volts. That looks likea mismatch to me.

I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery. I am using a battery grip (wich came with 2 Canon LP-6E replacement batteries. The original LP-6E battery in the original Canon charger did not complete its 1st charge and overnight. It was stuck on like 90%.. I placed it into the battery grip took some shots with the camera. Then placed it back into the original Canon charger. This time the charge completed and all is fine. So there may be some start up quirks with these batteries... I never experienced it before, with any kind of Canon batteries. FYI. I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery.

ordered 2 and returned 2 because the battery for the Panasonic Lumix DMC- ZS20 does not fit in the charger. I thought the first charge might be a mistake... But the second charger was the same. My battery # is: DMW BCF10PP

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.
