Does anyone have the dual batt. charger(CA-PS400)? DOes it work well? I am looking to get one. I would even take another canon single charger.... anyone with a dual charger willing to part with the old single version (for 20D) PM me thanks.

ok.. im pissed and confused at the same time!!! I just got this charger off ebay (the dual batt. charger(CA-PS400)) I put both batt.'s in and only one blinks... nothing on the second one. so I switch them around.. and now just the opp. so Im thinking... its broke so I start reading the doc. that came with it. "The adapter can hold and charge two battery packs. Charging starts with first battery pack attached. After that battery pack is charged, the charge lamp goes on and the adapter starts charging the second battery pack." WTF Im pissed.. so i go to canon's page and this is what it says..... "This compact charger and AC adapter can charge two BP-511 battery packs simultaneously at a rate of 90 minutes each. Also, when used with the DC-Coupler DR-400, it allows the D60 or D30 to use power directly from an AC power source." so witch is it??? it charges one THEN the other.... hmmm I dont think that means simultaneously.

It's the first one, sorry :(

They should have used "sequentially" rather then "simultaneously" in the latter statement. Someone chose the words poorly.
