Kastar Ultra Fast Charger and Battery 2-Pack - Rapid Camera Power

In this review of the Kastar Ultra Fast Charger and Battery 2-Pack, the bottom line is simple: photographers who need reliable, faster charging for older Panasonic Lumix models will appreciate the pack's speed and added features. The package combines an ultra-fast charger with two replacement batteries designed to replace CGA-S007, CGA-S007A and DMW-BCD10 cells, and the single biggest reason to buy is the chargers rapid charging and informative LCD that shortens downtime between shoots.

Key Features

• Ultra-fast charging: The charger outputs 4.2V/8.4V at 1.0A to charge compatible camera batteries over three times faster than many standard chargers, reducing wait time between sessions.
• Worldwide input: With 110-240V input the charger is ready for travel and can be used internationally without a separate converter.
• High-capacity batteries: The replacement batteries use high quality Japanese cells to give longer runtime and avoid memory effect over repeated charge cycles.
• USB output: A 0.6A USB output lets the charger double as an emergency USB power source for phones and small devices while charging camera batteries.
• Smart LCD and wake-up: An intelligent LCD reports charging status, battery capacity and voltages, and the wake-up function can revive over-discharged cells before charging begins.

Who It's For

The kit is best suited to owners of older Panasonic Lumix compact cameras that accept CGA-S007, CGA-S007A or DMW-BCD10 batteries, including many TZ-series models. Its ideal for travelers and casual photographers who need faster turnaround on battery swaps and appreciate seeing charge state on an LCD.

People who should look elsewhere include users of modern cameras with different battery chemistries or sizes, and photographers who need extremely fast USB charging for large tablets since the USB output is limited to 0.6A. Also, this pack targets replacements for specific Lumix models rather than universal camera systems.
