Kastar 4-Pack Battery and USB Charger Replacement for Canon LP-E17

Our review of the Kastar 4-Pack Battery and LTD2 USB Charger finds it best for photographers who need reliable spare power without carrying multiple proprietary chargers. The kit bundles four 7.2V 1300mAh lithium-ion replacement cells with a dual USB charger that can top two batteries simultaneously, making it a practical choice for day shoots and travel. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of capacity and flexible USB charging options, including Type-C and Micro-USB input, which simplifies charging from power banks or camera setups.

Key Features

• Battery Type: Four 7.2V lithium-ion cells provide a direct replacement for Canon LP-E17 batteries so photographers can extend shoot time without sacrificing compatibility.
• Capacity: Each 1300mAh battery offers a dependable power reserve for everyday shooting and backup use on mirrorless and DSLR bodies that accept LP-E17.
• Dual Charging: The LTD2 charger can charge two batteries at the same time, which reduces downtime when multiple spares are in rotation.
• Flexible Input: USB input supports Type-C and Micro-USB and accepts 5V 2-3A 15W, allowing charging from laptop ports, wall adapters, or power banks.
• Smart Indicator: An intelligent LED display shows charging status and relative battery capacity so users can see progress at a glance.
• Interchangeable Plate: The charger plate can be swapped to fit different battery shapes, increasing the kit's versatility.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at enthusiast photographers and content creators using Canon cameras that accept the LP-E17 battery, including several EOS Rebels and newer mirrorless bodies. It works well for day trips, on-location shoots, and creators who prefer USB charging from a single cable rather than carrying a separate AC charger.

It is less suited to users who rely exclusively on original manufacturer chargers or who need higher-capacity batteries for extended professional use without frequent swaps. Also, those who need compatibility with original LC-E17 or LC-E17E chargers should note this is a replacement battery and third-party charger solution, not an OEM charger.
