Does Canon make/sell a dual charger for the LP-E8 battery packs?

Does Canon make/sell a dual charger for the LP-E8 battery packs? I bought a camera grip for my T3i that holds two battery packs. It would be nice to be able to charge two at the same time to replace the two in the grip when they need charging.

Thanks!

I have never seen a dual charger from Canon (although they may exist). There is a company called Delkin Devices that makes a dual charger (I use one and I'm happy with it). In addition to the charger itself, you will need to buy two plates that fit onto the charger and accept LP-E8 batteries. I use mine to charge two LP-E6 batteries simultaneously.

How about just buying another charger for the LP-E8 battery?

Yep, that's one of two options I considered...buy a dual charger if Canon makes one, or buy another "regular" charger if not. Believe it or not, I actually thought of that before asking my question! (not trying to sound snarky, so please don't take it that way...my wife says I just come across that way sometimes 🙂 )

Thanks for the suggestion.
