Just wondering if this charger is compatible with Canon C300 batteries. It's listed on B&H's web site as a possible charger for the Canon BP-975 and BP-955. But the charger itself isn't mentioned as being compatible with those batteries. So I don't know what to make of it.

Can anyone who has used this charger chime in and let me know if it is good to go for the C300 as a dual charger? I'm planning on getting a BP-975 on top of the BP-955 that came with my C300. And a dual charger would be ideal.
 
I have one and it does work but can behave strangely sometimes. Ocassionally one battery won't charge fully no matter how long it's on. I just slide it off, back on, and it finishes.
 
In fact, I put my two BP-975s on there last night. They were at 35% and 45%. 10 hours later they are 55% and 85%. I would not recommend this charger to anyone. Had I known it would do this, I would have looked at other options.
 
I use a couple of these chargers and have seen some very strange results. Here in the UK they work fine and will charge two C300 batteries perfectly well, although I'm using the smaller batteries. I've used the chargers in France, Portugal & Brazil without issue but when working in Austria recently I found I couldn't charge a battery at all in the hotel so tried a different power supply at the clients office and only one battery would charge at a time.
