Kastar 3-Pack BP-828 Battery and LTD2 Dual USB Charger - Extra Power

In this review the Kastar 3-Pack BP-828 batteries and LTD2 USB dual charger are evaluated for videographers who need reliable runtime for Canon camcorders. The bottom line: this bundle is for shooters who want three replacement Lithium-Ion packs and a flexible charger that can top up two cells at once using Micro-USB or Type-C power. The reviewer found the 7.4V, 3300mAh cells delivered predictable runtime and the intelligent LED charger made it easy to monitor charge status on shoots where swapping batteries quickly matters.

Key Features

• High capacity batteries: Each Lithium-Ion 7.4V, 3300mAh battery provides extended runtime for long recording sessions without frequent swaps.
• Dual battery charging: The LTD2 charger can charge two batteries simultaneously so you can prepare multiple spares between shoots.
• Interchangeable plate: The charger plate can be changed to fit compatible Canon BP-828 style cells, adding practical flexibility.
• Universal USB input: Multiple charging input options, including Micro-USB and Type-C, let you charge from common 5V 2-3A USB sources in the field.
• LED charge indicators: Intelligent LED display shows charging status and relative battery capacity so you know when packs are ready.
• Portable power design: The compact charger and three batteries are easy to carry for remote shoots and travel.

Who It's For

This kit is a good fit for independent filmmakers, event videographers, and content creators who use Canon XF and VIXIA series cameras and need reliable spare power. The 3300mAh capacity is useful for full-day shoots where swapping batteries between takes is common, and the dual charger speeds turnaround when two cells must be topped up quickly.

Those who should look elsewhere include users on micro-budgets who only need a single replacement battery, or photographers who require OEM branded batteries with manufacturer service. Also, if you need a dedicated mains-only charging station with higher output per bay, a different charger may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Three high-capacity Lithium-Ion batteries reduce the need to recharge frequently during long shoots.
• Charger can handle two batteries at once and swaps plates to fit compatible packs for convenience.
• USB input options and compact size make the charger easy to use on location with common power banks or adapters.

Cons

• Charger output is modest at 8.4V 800mA per bay, so charging two batteries simultaneously can be slower than dedicated high-current chargers.
