Can I use my original Canon LPE8 charger to charge these batteries? Or do I have to buy the specific STK charger to charge these batteries?

You can use your original Canon charger that came with your camera to charge these batteries. That's what I used and it's still fine till this day.

You can use the canon charger. It's a perfect fit plus it works great and is a lot cheaper!

Sorry for the very late response, but I have been using my original battery charger and I have not had any issues over the past few months.

I have always used the charger that came with my camera. I didn't buy anything specific to use this battery.

**I had a problem with two different batteries and the 6D** - camera reported "Communication problems with battery", but would work, however my Canon charger would not only charge them to 30-40%. They worked fine on my old 5D mk II & charger. BTR-LPE6-JWP

I have used its charger once I can't remember if it lit or not. I will do it and email u bk again. Then i used original canon charger! But battery life has been 1/20 of canon battery. This one dies within taking may be 30-40 shots within 3-4 days. I am thinking of returning them. Have had no time!

You will need the appropriate battery charger. Canon chargers accept240 and 110 V.

I use the Canon charger and another non-name brand charger for this STK battery. As best I can tell there is no significant difference in the batteries other than branding and price.

Yes, I bought three and use them in the same charger supplied with my Canon Powershot SD1000. These are aftermarket batteries not directly from Canon. I've found that they are not quite as good as the original but they work in a pinch even though the quality control isn't that great.

I purchased four of these batteries about two months ago. I am currently using 1.1.3 but was previously using 1.1.2. I primarily use them in a genuine Canon battery grip. In all cases the camera sees them as a standard LP-E6 and I haven't had any issues with them. However, it is my understanding that newer Canon chargers may not charge them or not charge them correctly.

Is there a question? The STK Canon LE-E5 charger works as well as the original Canon charger. If you think your Canon charger is defective, this charger is a cost-effective well functioning replacement.

Yes. It this battery is identical in size and orientation to the battery provided by Canon and I have used my STK battery in the Canon charger and camera (Powershot SX260 HS) several times since purchase. The STK battery seems to have identical characteristics and, frankly, I cannot tell it the two apart in performance other than color (and price!). My Canon battery is grey while the STK is white. I think you will be very happy with it if you decide to buy. I sure like mine. I find myself taking a lot more pictures now.

I don't have a Canon LP-E8, but if you go to amazon.com search for Canon LP-E8 charger you can find this charger has an output DC: 8.4V 600ma out put. This should be able to charge those batteries.

You didn't say what camera model you have. It might not be compatible with the batteries. Read the list of compatible cameras. Also, a Canon camera might not recognize another manufacturer batteries but it might still be fully functional. You just might not get a visual warning as to how much charge remains in the batteries. Hope this helps.

I don't know what type of battery your canon sure shot takes. If it takes a NB 5L Lithium Ion battery, then this charger will work for you. Check your existing battery to see what it says on the battery. Then look for a battery charger that charges that battery or specifically states that it works with your specific Canon model. The plugs on this charger folds down in the back and folds open when in use. Makes it nice and compact for travel. Hope that helps.

LP-E5 refers to the battery format. STK refers to the manufacturer. Neither the batteries nor the charger are made by Canon, they are made by STK. My impression (I do not have data) is that the STK batteries do not hold a charge quite as long as the Canon batteries, but they certainly have more battery life per dollar than the Canon. I bought 2 STK batteries (and a charger) for less than a single Canon battery. Now I always have a spare battery (and a spare charger). Having a spare battery is a bigger deal than having a little more charging time. The charger works great also.

I have the Canon EOS digital Rebel (the first model) and the batteries charged okay with the Canon charger that came with the camera.

The battery does not have to charged while it is on the camera. Also, you can charge the Canon original batteries with the charger that is provided in this kit.

I am another customer as well, but I had the same concerns you did. I received a genuine Canon LC-E6 charger in an original Canon package when I ordered this. I compared it top to bottom with the one that came with my girlfriend's Canon D60 she purchased at Walmart. No difference. It has the Canon logo stamped in it, same stickers, everything. Charges my batteries great. Genuine Canon product.
