Kastar Ultra Fast Charger Kit and Battery for Nikon EN-EL14 - 3X

In this review of the Kastar Ultra Fast Charger Kit and Battery for Nikon EN-EL14 cameras, the bottom line is simple: photographers who need reliable spares and much faster charging will benefit most. The kit includes two high-capacity EN-EL14 batteries and an intelligent ultra-fast charger that claims to charge over three times faster than a normal charger, plus a car charger and EU plug for travel. The reviewer found the combination of fast charge, LCD status readout and USB output makes this kit a practical, compact power solution for DSLR and Coolpix users who shoot away from mains power.

Key Features

• Ultra-fast charging: The charger outputs 4.2V/8.4V at 1.0A and charges batteries over three times faster than a standard charger, saving time between shoots.
• High-capacity replacement batteries: The included EN-EL14 batteries use high quality Japanese cells for longer cycle life and reduced memory effect.
• Multi-voltage and travel ready: With 110-240V input and included European plug, the kit is ready for international use without an adapter.
• USB output for devices: The charger provides 0.6A USB output so it can top up phones and other USB powered gear when needed.
• Intelligent LCD display: The charger shows charging status, battery capacity and voltages so users can monitor progress at a glance.
• Wake-up and car charge: A wake-up function recovers over-discharged batteries and the kit includes a 12V car charger for mobile charging.

Who It's For

The Kastar kit is aimed at hobbyists and travel photographers using Nikon cameras that accept EN-EL14 or EN-EL14a batteries, including D3100 through D5500 series and several Coolpix models. It is particularly useful for photographers who need spare batteries and faster turnaround between charges during shoots or travel.

Serious professionals who require OEM-branded batteries for warranty reasons or ultra-high continuous shooting performance may want to consider factory batteries, while casual users who rarely shoot away from a mains outlet may find a single spare battery sufficient instead of a full kit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fast charge speed that significantly reduces downtime between battery swaps.
• Two high-capacity replacement batteries extend shooting sessions without waiting for recharge.
• Useful LCD shows charging progress and USB output, making the charger easy to monitor.

Cons

• Output USB current is modest at 0.6A, so charging tablets or fast-charge phones will be slow.
• Third-party batteries may not match every nuance of OEM battery behavior for some advanced camera features.
