cheap charger and batteries arrived today...

[back alley]

very cheap at 18.99 u.s.

just charging up the second battery now...i noticed that the charger has only 2 contact prongs not 3 like the oem model...should i be worried about this?

i like the built in plug w/o that long cord...

this is the one i ordered.. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...27018&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2078wt_1149

let us know how it works out Joe as the charger supplied with the camera is nothing short of laughable. i am eager to 'retire' it for good.

i think it's ok...after a second look i see there is both negative and positive contacts, so the middle contact on the battery has no contact.
the batteries charged and are working in the camera...

I think I have the same one as Joe. I'm finding the charger to be faster and a stronger charge then the OEM. I also find the batteries last longer than the OEM.
