Battery Delima for my 5D Mark iii

JeffWaldrop — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 10:47:42 GMT

I have the 5DM3 with two Canon LP-E6 batts and a few generic batteries. I have the Canon wall charger for charging one battery. I am looking for a system for charging two batteries at a time, any suggestions?

"I am looking for a system for charging two batteries at a time,..."

There aren't any I am aware of. The ones I know of that hold two batteries charge only one at a time. They just hold two batteries.

"...two Canon LP-E6 batts and a few generic batteries."

One more word, I am not a fan of off brand chargers. Some are OK and some are not, to the point of being dangerous.

Canon strongly advises you to not use them.

Wasabi makes a two battery charger available on Amazon. As mentioned 3rd party chargers should not be used with Canon batteries. However, if you want to charge 2 Wasabi batteries at once it is a great option.
