Kastar Battery and LTD2 USB Charger Replacement for Canon BP-820

In this review the Kastar 1-Pack Battery and LTD2 USB Charger is evaluated for videographers and casual camera users who need extra runtime and flexible charging for Canon BP-820 and BP-828 batteries. The bottom line: this kit excels at keeping two spare batteries topped up on the go thanks to its dual-bay design and USB input options, making it a practical replacement for the stock Canon CG-800 charger when portability and simultaneous charging matter most.

Key Features

• Dual battery charging: The charger can charge two batteries simultaneously, which reduces downtime for long shoots or extended travel.
• Interchangeable plate: The removable plate lets the charger accept different battery orientations so it works with the specified Canon BP-820 and BP-828 models.
• USB powered: With Micro-USB and Type-C inputs and a 5V 2-3A 15W input rating, the unit can be powered from power banks or USB adapters for on-location charging.
• Clear status indicators: The intelligent LED display shows charging status and battery capacity so users can see progress without guessing.
• Compact and portable: The charger is small and lightweight, making it easy to carry in camera bags alongside the included Micro USB cable.

Who It's For

This charger is aimed at owners of Canon cameras and camcorders that use BP-820 or BP-828 batteries such as the VIXIA HF G50, HF G60 and XA series who need a reliable spare charger for field work, events, or travel. It is especially useful for users who value the ability to charge two batteries at once and want USB power flexibility.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require manufacturer service, integrated camera charging solutions, or batteries not listed as compatible; professional studios that depend on AC-only high-speed charging may prefer an OEM charger with different power characteristics.
