EOS Rebel T7- Charger cord??

oliviab32 — Sun, 08 Dec 2024 13:20:20 GMT

Hello!! I need a charger cord for my canon rebel t7 asap, it came with the charger but not the cord for it. And of course i don’t have the actual charger block with me, but the first picture is the type of block it looks like. I’m closest to a best buy and I just need to know where to get the right cord for it if this one won’t work?

The socket in the charger takes a standard IEC C7 connector on the end of the cable. This connector is sometimes termed a "figure of eight" connector as it looks like that when you look at it.

The one you showed in the screenshot looks correct.

+1 Agree and the one you have chosen will work.

I don’t recognize your battery charger. The correct charger doesn’t require a power cord. There should be AC power prongs on the rear / back side that flip out.

I suggest that you return everything for a full refund. No exchange. Order a camera from B&H or direct from Canon.

Both chargers are used, and if it was purchased from Canon USA directly, it should have come with a cable.

We started using the one with the cable more recently because it's universal. It can be used globally, and only a different cable needs to be used instead of a completely different charger in whatever country you live in.

I stand corrected. My T5 used one with built in prongs. Here are the specs on the charger and cable.

I'm about 90% sure my T7i also came with the pronged charger. I got it back when they were new. I want to say the switch happened with the supply chain drama during the pandemic.

Historically the USA and Japan included the version of the charges with the prongs, while in other parts of the world the chargers with a separate cable are used. This simplifies the need to meet local regulations about supplying the right kind of plug with a device. For example in the UK it is a requirement to include the UK three pin plug, but for most of mainland Europe the use a different 2-pin plug. It's relatively straightforward to swap out the cable in the box before sending it out to retail, especially as in Europe manuals are often added locally to cut down on paper instruction books.
