Hi everyone. I'd like your opinions on this topic. So, I am switching batteries to the LP-E17 and I picked up a few batteries. It's a shame the RP doesn't use the LP-E6N, but that's life. Anyways, with the new batteries I can only charge one at a time in the Canon charger, and possibly another if I use my PD charger with the camera as well, which sounds like it should be enough. But with my old 80D I had a USB charger (like, a charger which can be plugged into a USB port and charged) which was great, especially while travelling. The USB charger is considerably smaller, and lighter. Here is the weight difference.


So I started looking and I found that all of these USB chargers only use 2 pins instead of 4 pins. I have yet to have any problems with my OLD usb charger, but I figured it would be worth asking everyone here if they have any experience with these USB chargers. I was thinking of getting the PATONA dual charger (https://pts-trading.de/en/patona-dual-quick-charger-f.-canon-lp-e17-eos-750d-760d-kiss-x8i-incl.-micro-usb-cabel-3557) or the singular battery charger (https://pts-trading.de/en/patona-slim-micro-usb-charger-f.-canon-lp-e17-eos-750d-760d-8000d-kiss-x8i-rebel-rebel-t6i-rebel-5258) but I have no experience with this brand, either.
Are the last 2 pins important in real world usage? Does anyone have any experience with this brand, or any other brand of USB charger for their batteries?
Thanks in advance.
I have the LP-E6N version of this charger and it seems to work great. You can plug it into a wall power supply using the USB A Male cable, USE a USB - C cable into a wall charger or port on a computer, plug into a power bank (Mophie 10,000 Power Bank). I have only had this a few weeks, so not that many cycles of charging batteries yet. I used it with the new LP-E6NH batteries and it seems to work fine. The only quirk is it seems to have a limit of not charing a battery past 95% capacity. I am sure this is a protective feature. I have tested charging with a well plug power adaptor, laptop, and Power Bank.
