Is there some secret to getting the batteries to fit into the charger? I have pressed as a hard as possible. Thanks.

The battery has to be inserted on its side. I had so much trouble until I realized I was doing it wrong. It only charges one battery at a time

The batteries are round on one side. Look closely at the charger, and you will see that by rotating the batteries you can make the corners and the round part line up with the charger.

Reading the other responses, I would suggest the same thing. Make sure the battery is connected to the electrical charging points on the charger. I had that problem. Paul Crutchley

While it is not that easy to plug and unplug the battery charger, I just keep wiggling it back and forth until it comes out and use trial and error to plug in the battery charger. No other solutions then that for me.

I had the same problem but it was the batteries I ended up having to buy the batteries at batteries plus and a different charger and it worked fine after that.

Sorry to hear your having trouble brother!! I have owned mine for almost a year and I just checked it, working just fine with the original batteries plus I still have the 2nd pair which they included. The best thing to do is contact the manufacturer, I've talked to them and they have a great customer service dept. I think they will be more than willing to help. Good Luck

The metal contacts on the battery should contact the metal contacts in the top of the charger. They are spring loaded. Put the battery in at the top and then push up and put the bottom of the battery in. I plug it in with the light on the bottom of the unit so I can plug it into the bottom half of an outlet and then can still plug something else in the top half of the outlet. The second half of your question didn't come through. Hope that helps.

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!�

Yup... they're a really tight fit and hard to press into the slot, but once they click into place the first time, it's easier after that. I bought the same thing, and it came with two 1550 mAh batteries, which are almost double the capacity of the battery that came with the Canon camera. The charger charges as it should and I'm very happy with the setup. Don't use a hammer to get the battery seated, but just push really hard. Regards, Wendall

I had an initial problem with the battery becoming unseated from the contacts; this very thing happened to me. First make sure that it is clicked in completely. Then if there is ANY movement at all use a small piece of folded notecard or paper to force firm seating in the connector.

I would suggest bending one of the outside prongs of the charger in VERY slightly to get a better fit. I've had instances where my battery wouldn't charge. I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but plug the charger into the wall outlet first, then plug the charger into the battery second. Not the best design for a charger, in my opinion.

Hello,In my experience using 3rd-party batteries, I have observed approximately a 10% failure rate. You might have gotten a bad one. You should check the charger with another battery to make sure.

I understand your problem as I don't think others that responded did, meaning your car charger is probably too wide to fit it. Well my car charger is too, So i just shaved off (Sharp knife,xacto,etc...) and sanded the sides of the car charger to make sure it fit in. Not a big deal 5-10 minutes at most.

Did you buy batteries that were pre charged and try to stick them in right out of the package?

You're way beyond the rated charging time of 150 minutes, so my bet is you've fallen afoul of the confusing dual-size charger and are in fact NOT charging the battery AT ALL! Look closely at the fit of the battery when you insert it into charger. You have two choices -- but only one will be truly SNUG. Once you inset charger into an outlet plug, you'll see the light and be on your way.

Sorry to question your capabilities ... have you ensured that the batteries are all in the slots, in the right direction? My original batteries were dead, as sent by the manufacturer. But the new ones tested fully charged, and I was careful to place them in the slots as indicated by the arrows.Give that a shot and see.

Don´t worry Mckenzie, both AAA & AA fits perfectly in the charger, but for AAA you put the negative pole of the battery on the little metallic piece, and then push donw the batteries and they will fit.

I've got about 50% success with the end of the charger fitting or not fitting the case. The ones that work stay in circulation. (And to the answerer who said he couldn't hear/be heard... a bluetooth earpiece works wonders. Or in desperation, open the charging port and speakerphone it.)
