Kastar BP808 Battery (2-Pack) and Charger Kit for Canon BP-807, BP-808, BP-809 and Canon HFM400 HF100 M300 S100 S200 FS36 FS37 HF200 HFS11 HF100 HF20 HG21 FS406 Cameras

Excellent product, very reasonable price. Perfect for my Canon FS100.Received it two days after ordering, exactly as described, very neatly packaged and very professionally looking. It also came with several requests for suggestions on how to improve the product. Good feel for customer service and product support.Didn’t check it on time but although I knew the connector was unique, I assumed the new charger could also be connected to the camcorder, as with the charger I lost. When I opened the box and didn’t see the connector, I again assumed that I would not then be able to use the old batteries. Wrong assumptions and totally irrelevant. The batteries can be charged away from the camcorder. The new batteries are exactly the same shape as the old ones and so now I have four batteries, instead of two.When I started looking for the new charger, I was keen on getting the same connector but then I just lost the focus and ordered. I think that a comment in the description of the product, like “Batteries can be charged away from the camcorder” would allay any fears that potential buyers, like me, may have. I also got an additional charging cable for the car, which I didn't have.Kudos to Kastar

The customer service is very good. I had a problem with one battery and they sent a replacement right away.The battery fit could be better. It seemed an alignment or tolerance issue for the contact slots. Batteries seem to have enough power and length of time though.

Don't know about longterm, but right now working well.

Bought these batteries since Canon FS200 batteries are starting to fade and needed a car charger (and also plugs in to 120/240v). Charger works with both Kastar and Canon batteries. Batteries fit well in the camera and work well. First try the new battery wasn't recognized by the camera but removed and replaced and it worked fine. So camera will keep track of charge and could be used to charge these batteries. Batteries also seem to have decent terminals - I bought previous after-market batteries and the terminals were flimsy and bent when inserting into the charger, causing problems when installing in the camera. Not a problem with these. I would certainly buy these again.

One battery didn't fit properly other would take a charge completely dead. Was going to return but learned I had to pay to ship to seller not Amazon. Ripoff despite glowing reviews 5 stars. What a joke.

I bought this because my previous one broke. Just the little plastic tangs that hold the battery in place when charging but I couldn't charge the batteries I had so I had to buy another one. When I use this one, the LED indicator never turns green when the battery is fully charged which confused me. It's bright green with no battery in it and supposed to turn green when the battery is charged but it turns more yellow. I suspect both the Red and Green LED lights are showing. Not a huge deal now that I know but I charged a battery overnight to make sure.This is a really good value.

Great value for the money

Finding stuff like this on-line is always a joy and convenience (particularly at this low price...just try shopping this item at a local store). Having to charge the batteries first is standard operating procedure I should think, so that's not a problem...my Canon FS-200, after several years of use had finally lapsed into having a tired battery that wouldn't hold a charge very long, so having these for one of my useful pieces of video equipment is a plus. Getting a charger with it and a car power connector was a plus, for me it was win-win all around.
