Kastar Battery (4-Pack) and Charger Kit for Canon LP-E17 - Reliable

In this review the Kastar Battery (4-Pack) and Charger Kit is judged by photographers who need extended shooting time and a flexible charging solution. The bottom line: this kit is for photographers who want multiple high-capacity spare LP-E17 batteries plus a compact charger that works worldwide and in cars. It shines where you need runtime and portability rather than camera battery-level telemetry because the batteries are not decoded and will not display remaining time on Canon bodies.

Key Features

• Four high-capacity batteries: Having four LP-E17 cells in the kit lets a shooter double or triple run times between access to mains power, ideal for long shoots or travel.
• Mini rapid A/C charger: The included charger has a fold-out US plug and supports 110-240V worldwide input so it works in many locations without a bulky adapter.
• Multiple charging options: The kit includes a car charging adapter and a European plug in addition to the US plug, giving flexibility for charging on the road or abroad.
• Reliable cell chemistry: Kastar uses high quality Japanese cells that promise ultra-high capacity and no memory effect for long battery life across repeated cycles.
• Charge indicators and safety control: A green standby light and red charging light plus automatic constant current control help prevent overcharge, short circuit and electronic shock.
• Warranty and return policy: The kit includes a 30-day money back offer and a 3-year manufacturer warranty for added buyer confidence.

Who It's For

Photographers who shoot weddings, events, or travel will find this kit useful because it provides multiple spare LP-E17 batteries and a charger that can be used worldwide and in cars. The compact charger and included car adapter suit people who need to top up batteries between locations without hauling camera-brand chargers.

It is not ideal for users who require on-camera battery level reporting because the batteries are not decoded and will not show remaining time on Canon cameras; also these batteries must be charged with the supplied Kastar charger and cannot be charged in the original Canon charger.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Three-year manufacturer warranty and 30-day return policy add peace of mind.

Cons

Specifications

Our Verdict

The Kastar Battery 4-pack with its rapid charger is a strong value for photographers who need extended run time and flexible charging options while travelling.
