Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong section of the forums but wasn't sure where else to put it...

My CB-5L charger has just given up !! :thumbsdown: at first I thought it was the fuse but there is power going through the lead but it just wont charge the battery (I have 3 and they are all the same - so hopefully that rules out the batteries) - does anyone know if these things have internal fuses in ? or is it not worth it or should I just buy another one,

I have had a search about but on ebay there only seems to be cheap non-genuine copies from China that I am a bit worried WILL fry my batteries.

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any experience of these or knows somewhere I could get a genuine one (cheap as poss)
Thanks
James
 
Ansmann make excellent battery chargers and no chance it will fry anything

I'll 2nd that, and they make excellent compatible batteries which are half the price of genuine Canon batteries, and I certainly get more shots per charge compared to my original Canon batteries :thumbs:
 
James - I don't know it this will be of any use, but I have a Canon CG-580 charger - It is a USA charger that I used for my 30d battery, but you do need an adaptor for it (I may have one but doubt it.) It has 2 flat prongs, and an adaptor will only be a few pounds if you don't already own one )
You are welcome to it free but it would be nice if you made a small donation to a charity of your choice (I am happy to make a suggestion about a charity if you don't have a favourite..!)
Let me know !
 
Hi Steve, that would be great, I am sure I could pick up an adapter from somewhere easy enough.

I would gladly give a donation to a charity (I have a couple I give to already but if you have a prefererence, let me know)

Thanks again for your Kindness Steve, much appreciated !! :thumbs:

Do we "move to PM" to discuss further ??

Thanks
James
 
Another vote for Ansmann. Top kit.
