Can these batteries be charged by the OEM Canon charger? And vice-versa will the OEM Canon battery fit in this Wasabi charger?

The batteries are comparable to the Canon OEM batteries and I have charged them in the OEM charger without any problems.

No doubt they will charge, Just try it as I did..... I use only my CANON CHARGER on All my batteries. Yes they do fit.

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.

Yes. I use the Canon charger mostly, on all of my batteries, so I'm sure that the Wasabi charger will do the same. It works great.

Yes. Have used them in my Canon SX280 HS for about a year. Rotating them with Canon battery that came with camera. Haven't noticed any distinct differences in performance. Wasabi batteries were dramatically less expensive and their charger has more options and has performed without problems.

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

I have a Canon 60EOSD and lost my charger. This is the charger that came with this model for sure. It fit my battery when I ordered a replacement off Amazon, so I can confirm this Canon model! Hope this helps.

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

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.

Yes it is a genuine OEM Canon battery. Works very well and I've had no problems with it. In fact I hope to buy two more in the next month.

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 find that the Wasabi batteries seem to last about the same as the OEMs. You will need just a few charge cycles to get optimum charging. Try not to run any lithium ion batteries completely down much, as that will negatively impact their longevity.

Absolutely YES. Ive 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.

Hi Shane,I got a 2-pack of Wasabi batteries (no charger) for my 7D (same batteries as 5D II), that were advertised to work with the Canon charger. One of the batteries died within a couple of months and the other one still works, but doesn't hold a charge as long as my original Canon battery. Personally, I wasn't particularly satisfied with Wasabi. Good luck.

We charged the original battery that came with the camera with this charger successfully. I assume our battey was the OEM since it was the one that came with the Canon camera.

It charges every off brand batteries I put in it.....It won't work at all with the Canon batteries.....I don't know why, they all look the same to me, so I'll use the Canon charger on the only 2 that I have. All others, I'll use the Dual Charger and buy the off brand batteries when I need replacements....Hope that helps you out.

Yes they will. BTW these are great batteries with just as good or better life as the original Canon battery.

I have only used the canon batteries. The canon battery charges and works fine.

I have a 6D, that firmware, and STK batteries, and they work fine. Your Canon charger however, will not charge them properly. I got a free charger from STK that works with STK and Canon batteries. Just send them an email and they will get you one.

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.
