Kastar 3-Pack Battery and USB Charger Replacement for Canon BP-708

In this review the Kastar 3-Pack Battery and LTD2 USB Charger replacement is evaluated for users who need dependable spare power for Canon VIXIA camcorders. The bottom line: it is a practical, portable solution that replaces Canon BP-708, BP-709, BP-718 and similar batteries while offering simultaneous charging and flexible USB inputs. For anyone filming on location or traveling, the kit's combination of three 3200mAh lithium-ion batteries and a dual-bay charger with Micro-USB and Type-C support delivers extended run time and convenient recharging options.

Key Features

• High capacity battery: Each 3.7V lithium-ion battery has 3200mAh capacity, which provides significantly longer runtime between swaps than many factory batteries.
• Dual-bay charging: The included charger can charge two batteries at the same time so you can keep spares ready without waiting for a single slot to free up.
• Interchangeable plate: The charger plate can be changed to fit different battery contacts, adding compatibility and convenience for mixed kits.
• Multiple input options: Micro-USB and Type-C inputs let you power the charger from common power banks, wall adapters, or laptop ports at 5V 2-3A 15W input.
• Intelligent LED display: LED indicators show charging status and estimated capacity so you can tell at a glance which batteries are ready for use.
• Portable design: The charger and three batteries are easy to carry for field shoots, and a Micro USB cable is included for immediate use.

Who It's For

This kit is best for hobbyists, independent videographers, and owners of compatible Canon VIXIA models who need multiple spare batteries without buying a branded charger. The 3200mAh cells and dual charging bays are particularly useful for day-long shoots, travel, or remote work where mains power is sporadic.

Professionals who require official manufacturer warranties, rapid professional charging systems, or camera-specific negotiated power features may prefer OEM batteries and chargers. Also, if you need integrated in-camera USB charging for long record sessions, check camera compatibility before purchase.
