Does anybody know of a gang battery charger for the LP-E6 batts in the 7D?

I can go through a lot of batteries in the camera and for my monitor over the course of a shooting day and the one at at time charger ain't making it.

Thanks,

MP

I had the same problem Mike. Here's how I solved it. I pinched my wallet and bought more batteries. With more batteries than I could use in a day, not having to manage re-charging during the day has allowed me to focus on more important things.

I sort of figured that more batts or more individual chargers were in my future.
Meh.

The chargers are so cheap I just went out and bought an extra. I also use a battery grip and get a lot of shooting time, like 60Gb out of a set of batteries. It works pretty well for me!

I also attach those small wall plug adaptors from an apple mac power supply to get rid of extra cabling from the chargers! You could put 4 of these in this set up on a power board and get four batteries charged in 90 minutes for under a couple of hundred dollars. .

Cheers

I use 2 chargers and I can pretty much run all day with a total of 4 batteries.
