Summary: easy to use
Review: i dont know what the problem is with this prduct for everyone that gave it bad reviews, but it works just fine.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Has a cheap feel, but it works
Review: I use this to charge batteries for my Canon S110. I feel this is one of the shortcuts Canon took on an otherwise awsome line of cameras. Yes, it works and I've never had any major problems with it, but its made of clunky plastic, is just about as big as the camera and just feels tacky. On the upside, the electrical plug folds into itself to provide ease of portability which is a very nice feature. Have not figured out why, but sometimes when its charging batteries it makes a humming noise. But its reliable. Mine is going on 2 years and still works fine.

Summary: This is NOT the Canon CB-2LS
Review: I was mislead by the title here. This item is a REPLACEMENT for the Canon CB-2LS. It is NOT a Canon product. It does indeed charge the NB-1L battery. It does work on an AC or DC power source. The real Canon CB-2LS is a neat, compact unit about the size of a deck of cards and the AC power prongs fold down out of the way when not in use. It will store quite easily in a camera bag. This item here is about 50% larger and comes with an AC transformer and power cord and another power cord with a cigarette lighter adapter. Just what I needed, another product with a transformer and power cords to keep up with. This is listed as the Canon CB-2LS, but it is not. I will be sending it back because it is NOT what I wanted nor was it what I was lead to believe I was ordering.
Addendum: Today, I see that my review is accomapnied by a picture of the real CB-2LS by Canon. The price here is about $35 which is probably the real thing. I paid about $20 for an "equivalent" [though "equivalent" was not in the product description]. My advice is that you should be sure that you are getting the real Canon CB-2LS. If the price is too good, you probably are not.

Summary: The one star is for Amazon
Review: I wouldn't know how good the actual Canon charger is, because they sent me a generic battery charger. It works, but it's not what I paid for. BE VERY CAREFUL HOW YOU ORDER THIS!!!

I will recommend that if you get ANY charger and travel with it, put a string on it so you're not stupid enough to leave it in a hotel room's outlet when you leave!

Summary: this is the exact same Canon product.
Review: Same as the one that came with my camera, which I lost in LA. So it works JUST the same. Always quick charges for me. Perfect. Just don't lose it.

Cheers.

Summary: wrong battery charger
Review: The battery charger was not the same as the one in the picture. It is a after market charger and it does not work as well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BAD CONTACTS
Review: The cannon wall mount charger is small, looks nicely designed and [works poorly]. The electrical contacts do not. For some strange reason it seems to work a bit better with non Cannon generic batteries from Batteries plus. I have been using a generic 2nd party recharger in my car. The Cannon just does not work very well. ...

Summary: Functional and reliable, but with a cheap feel to it...
Review: This charger came with my Canon Powershot S200 camera, and I've been using it very frequently (taken close to 10.000 pictures with 3 different batteries in the last 12 months). I've been using it with 2 Canon brand batteries, and one generic battery, all of them without a single problem.

I've taken it abroad and used it with 240V without any problems. All you need here is a pin converter (cheap at any travel store) and not a voltage converter.

It's plastic and hence very lightweight, which kind of gives a cheap feel to it, but it's been amazingly durable. The prongs fold into the charger and out of your way, so it's very portable. It's a bit big - about the same size as my camera.

It does sometimes make a very high pitched continuous sound when charging, something that can often be remedied by giving a bit of a nudge, or by just adjusting it in its socket.

It charges my batteries in about 2 hours. A red light goes on when inserting a battery for charging, and it turns green when the battery is done charging.

Pros:
* Built in voltage converter - runs on both 120V/240V (with a pin converter).
* Lightweight (plastic)
* Prongs fold into charger
* Has turned out to be amazingly durable.

Cons:
* A bit big
* Sometimes you'll experience an annoying high pitched sound when charging.
* Does not feel very durable

All in all, I would highly recommend this charger. It's come in very handy at home, and when traveling abroad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dead-simple to use
Review: This charger is lightweight (no transformer), compact (with foldaway prongs), and simple to use. Just insert the battery (you can't insert it incorrectly), flip out the prongs, and plug it in. When the LED glows green, unplug the charger and pull out the battery. The charger accepts 120 and 240 volts, so for travel all you need is a physical adapter. The unit's only minor drawback: When using 240 volts, it emits a quiet, high-pitched whine--loud enough to keep me from sleeping. However, the charger works quickly, so I simply unplug it at night and resume charging in the morning. By the time I'm ready to go, so is my battery.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TINY!
Review: This little charger is great. There are no wires to deal with or ways to screw up your battery. Just pop in the battery plug it in and your set! So small I even lost it!
