1500mAh 4-Pack Battery and USB Charger for Canon VIXIA - Dual Charge

In this review the focus is on a practical replacement power kit for Canon VIXIA camcorders: a 4-pack of 1500mAh lithium-ion batteries with an LTD2 USB dual charger. The bottom line is straightforward: this kit is for videographers who need extra runtime and flexible charging away from a studio. It stands out because it combines four compatible batteries with a small USB-powered charger that can handle two batteries at once, making it easy to keep a camera running during events or long shoots without access to a wall charger.

Key Features

• Lithium-Ion 1500mAh: Each battery provides a practical 7.4V, 1500mAh capacity that extends recording time compared with a single stock cell.
• Dual battery charging: The LTD2 charger can charge two batteries simultaneously, reducing downtime between shoots.
• Changeable plate: The charger accepts a swappable plate so it can be configured to fit different battery contact layouts for wider compatibility.
• USB power options: The charger accepts Micro-USB and Type-C input and ships with a Micro USB cable for flexible powering from power banks or USB adapters.
• Smart LED indicators: Intelligent LED display shows charging status and relative battery capacity so users can monitor progress at a glance.
• Compact and portable: The charger is lightweight and runs on 5V 2-3A input, making it convenient for travel and field use.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at hobbyists, event videographers, and small production teams who shoot with compatible Canon VIXIA models and need several spare batteries for long sessions. The combination of four batteries plus a charger that accepts USB power makes it useful for on-location work where mains power may be limited.

It is less suited for users who require original manufacturer batteries for warranty reasons or those who need a faster dedicated AC charger; professional studios that rely on fastest possible turnaround may prefer dedicated charging stations instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Includes four 1500mAh lithium-ion cells to substantially increase available run time during shoots.

• LED indicators provide visible feedback on charge status and battery capacity.

Cons

• Charger output is limited to 800mA per bay, so charging multiple depleted batteries still takes hours.
