Kastar 2-Pack Battery and AC Wall Charger Replacement for Canon BP

In this review the Kastar 2-Pack Battery and AC Wall Charger is evaluated for videographers and photographers who own Canon cameras that use BP-series batteries. The bottom line: this kit is for anyone who needs extended run time and a simple spare-charger solution without the camera manufacturer price. The reviewer found the pair of 7.4V lithium-ion batteries and the compact AC charger provide predictable, full-capacity replacements that are easy to swap during shoots and travel, making it a practical choice for long days on set or in the field.

Key Features

• High capacity battery: Each 8700mAh lithium-ion cell delivers extended runtime so users can record or shoot longer between swaps.
• Wide compatibility: The pack replaces Canon BP-970 BP-975 BP-945 BP-950 and related models, making it useful across many camera bodies and camcorders.
• Universal charger input: The included AC wall charger accepts 100~240V 50~60Hz input for use worldwide with local sockets and adapters.
• Simple charge status: An LED shows red while charging and green when the battery is on standby or fully charged, making monitoring straightforward.
• Compact charger design: The charger has a foldable flat pin for easy storage and transport when space is limited.

Who It's For

This kit is best for independent videographers, event shooters, and owners of Canon cameras that accept BP-series batteries who want two ready spares plus one compact wall charger. The higher 8700mAh capacity suits long shoots, multi-hour interviews, or travel where recharging opportunities are limited.

Those who require manufacturer-branded accessories, car charging in the box, or a full accessory bundle should look elsewhere, since the package includes two batteries and one AC charger only and does not include a car adapter or European plug.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Long capacity batteries extend shoot time and reduce mid-day battery swaps.
• Charger supports 100~240V for international use when paired with the correct plug adapter.
• LED charge indicator gives a clear charge and standby state at a glance.

Cons

• Package does not include a car adapter or additional international plugs, so users traveling by car or needing alternate plugs must source them separately.
• Third-party option may not match camera maker branding preferences for some buyers.
