NB-13L Battery 2-Pack and USB Dual Charger - Replacement for Canon

In this review of the NB-13L Battery 2-Pack and USB Dual Battery Charger, the bottom line is simple: photographers who need reliable spare power for compatible Canon compact and travel cameras will appreciate the long capacity and flexible charging options. The pack is aimed at users who shoot all day or travel without access to a camera-specific charger, and the biggest reason to buy is the 1700mAh NB-13L replacement batteries combined with a micro-USB dual charger that lets you top up two batteries from a wall adapter, car adapter, or power bank.

Key Features

• 1700mAh Capacity: The 1700mAh / 6.29Wh batteries deliver noticeably more runtime than many stock cells, reducing the need to swap frequently during long shoots.
• Dual Charging: The included USB dual battery charger charges two NB-13L batteries simultaneously, which is convenient for travel and ensures both spares are ready to go.
• Micro-USB Input: With a micro-USB input the charger can be powered from a wall charger, car charger, or external battery, making it easier to recharge on the road.
• Multiple Circuit Protection: Built-in protections guard against over-voltage, over-current, short circuit, high temperature and over-charge, which improves safety when charging from varied USB sources.
• Camera and Charger Charging: Batteries can be charged inside the camera or with the charger, giving flexibility depending on whether you need to keep shooting while a spare charges.
• Complete Package: The set includes two NB-13L batteries, the dual charger, a micro-USB cable and a cleaning cloth for quick camera maintenance.

Who It's For

This kit is best for compact camera owners who use any of the compatible Canon models such as the PowerShot SX720 HS, SX730 HS, SX740 HS, SX620 HS, and the G-series cameras listed. It suits travelers, event shooters, and casual videographers who want the reassurance of two spares and a charger that works from USB power sources.

Photographers who require OEM-branded batteries with manufacturer warranty coverage or who need the absolute fastest charging speed may prefer an original manufacturer battery and charger; likewise, those with cameras that use a different battery family should look for a matching kit for their model.

Pros
