What Others Say
The praise is truly deserved.
First, let me cover the most important point: Does it work? Yes.
The praise that most users express for this item is well merited. I purchased this because, like everyone else, normal batteries just did not last. Ten or fifteen photos in, especially if you used flash, and they'd be ready for a change; even the so-called "Heavy Duty" or those marketed as "Digital Camera" didn't make a difference.
Well, both of those terms should be reserved for these power cells; they really are less like a battery and more like a power pack. On my first charge up, which took only 3 hours and 6 minutes - I timed it - I wanted to actually test how many photos one could get.

Nice Solid Product
Monster is a little pricey, as everyone knows, but it's good stuff. This unit is attractive, works well and is nicely designed. Only one very small drawback: unless you have small pointy fingers, the first battery is a little hard to remove. I use a little plastic relay tool to lever it out, which I store right in the charger. But I stayed with 5 stars for this one.
DON'T BUY: doesn't work right, replacement doesn't either
The charger unit or the batteries (or both) don't work right: I use the batteries one at a time, in rotation to power my Zen MP3 player. Sometimes I put discharged batteries in the charger, plug it in, the light blinks red, then goes off. Only supposed to show either red (discharged, charging) or green (fully charged.) This morning 3 batteries show fully charged, I take one out, it is discharged. All these problems happened with a first unit, I returned it to Monster and after they took their sweet time, got a replacement which works just as erratically. Monster's stuff looks good, but it is the last time I am going to buy their brand.
Still charging after a full charge
After reading the reviews, just bought the charger. The first charge took about 3 hours, then the led turned green. I accidentally disconnected the power, when I plug it again, the led turns orange, and start charging again. Will this hurt the battery?
