one review said that it was hard to get the battery mounted on the charger.is this true if so what do you have to do to get the battery mounted correctly.

It is a good tight fit, but I don't think it was an issue. In my opinion it seems harder to mount the battery on the camera than it is to mount on the charger .

It is not a perfect mounting but I have never had a problem. It shows LED light to show when properly installed.

It is a little harder than I would like to get the battery mounted but it works.

It is not very hard. You just fiddle with it and eventually it locks into place. It will take you an extra 20 seconds to figure it out, which is well worth the cash savings on the purchase! Don't worry about it, you won't have any issues.

Yes, it's a little bit hard to mount the battery but if you do it with a specific angle it becomes easy afterwards

i had no trouble mounting it like Rand said it's not perfect but it does mount quite easily and i use mine to keep my three batteries charged.

It was difficult the first couple of times. Not so bad now that I know the trick. Could use a little re-design. Still a good value though.

I love the battery charger and have had no problems. The actually batteries wont work, even with battery grip however. But the charger is great.

Yes make sure when you put the battery in the charger that it is turned the right way to charge ,it will not charge if turned wrong way

I had trouble with the battery that came with the unit. The light on the charger would not indicate a full charge. I called Customer Service and they sent me a new battery.

I never had a problem with the battery or the battery charger. If the battery charger is working properly it must be the battery itself. See if you can get a replacement from the seller. Most sellers will accommodate you.

Patricia, are you sitting it on the charger correctly? I have no problem. If you are perhaps a return or exchange is in order.

Mine do too. I have a hard time getting mine to fit the charger right. But when I get it in the right it doesn't get quite as hot

This has never happened to me and I have 5 of these chargers. They are not very well made but they worked for me. What kind of battery were you charging on it and did you set it to the right cell setting when you charged said battery?

The battery is kinda hard to get in the charger. If you get it in correctly you will see what looks like 4 small batteries. If any one of the batteries are flashing it's still charging. When all 4 batteries are on and not flashing the battery is charged.

I had this happen to me. Battery charger did not produce a charge of the battery. I got a new charger and everything works fine. I don't know how you would easily ascertain if the charger is bad except to see that the battery is not charged.

Hi: I had that same question. So I just bought the battery thinking that would solve the problem. But it didn't. So I ended up buying the charger and that just prolonged things.MY advice, purchase BOTH at the same time and be done with it.JOHN

The blank side of the battery should be facing up with the metal contacts on the battery matching up with the metal prongs in the charger. Additionally you will notice in the upper right hand corner of the charger a small plastic catch which fits into a notch on the battery and helps retain it in the charger. This also requires that the battery be inserted at a slight angle but shouldn't ordinarily impede the battery unless it's the wrong battery/charger combination.

Yes - that all sounds exactly like mine, purchased about a month ago and working great. Just slide the 3 gold end of the battery against the 2 silver prongs, push gently, and it will slip into place. When you look at the battery in the charger, the BTR-BN1-JWP side will be showing and the black triangle will be pointing towards the side where the 2 silver prongs were. Hope this helps. I've found this to be a great kit - small, everything you need, works well.

Put your finger in the little groove and lift the battery out. Maybe your charger is a little tight, so you may have to push a bit harder. I am able to just lift the battery out, with the charger. Hope this helps.

Had that problem once, I just spun the battery a little bit while it was still clamped in the charger and it worked fine. Might have been a slightly corroded contact. Never had a problem since.

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 just installed the battery last night and the long screw by the connector was not aligning, however after a push on the battery it lined up and screwed into the slot.

I almost returned this charger, but then got it to work. It is a loose fit for me to, but it has been charging the new battery I bought. The original battery wouldn't charge because I think it was too old.
