Hi Folks!
I recently bought a Neewer Triple Charger, complete with three LP-E6NH (equivalent) batteries. I got a great deal - it was on sale on Amazon for just over £30, instead of the usual £70. So far, I've been very pleased with it; the batteries are recognised by my R5, and seem to last just as long as my genuine one. The fact that the charger can charge three batteries at a time, using a USB C cable rather thatn a mains lead, is a big advantage, as I could - theoretically - use it in my car whilst driving between locations.
However, I have one problem. If I try to charge the genuine battery in the charger, it doesn't appear to be recognised; the little LCD screen doesn't light up, as it soes whenever I plug in the Neewer batteries. As I was a bit wary of the charger damaging the geniune battery (or vice versa) I haven't actually left the battery in the charger to see if it would charge.
So, the big question: do I have a faulty charger, or do I simply have an incompatability between the third-party charger and the genuine battery? If anyone out there has one of these Neewer chargers, could you let me know your experiences?
