Dual slot charger for LP-E6N

[CDD28]

Is there a dual charger for LP-E6N batteries out there that works and is safe to use? It doesn't seem that Canon sells one but I've seen a few third party manufacturers have them. Could someone recommend a nice one to pick up?

Hahnel Pro Cube, used one for last year three years. Never use the Canon charge, I have Genuine LP-E6 and (N) batteries.

I have it almost 6 months. It is working fine.

B&H has some high end chargers that run about $300.

The issue with inexpensive Chinese chargers is that they can fail but appear to be functioning properly. When this happens, its possible that they may destroy the protective circuit in the battery, leaving the battery unprotected from overcharging, which is the main cause of meltdowns. You may not even know that the damage happened.

I'd be concerned about a third party charger unless it was manufactured by / for a reputable seller, and not a cheap unit with a custom label slapped on it and available for anyone who buys 500 or more for $8 each. I import Chinese products and occasionally do have custom labeled products, but they are made to my specifications. I've been burned by having a manufacturer slap my logo on a existing product. In fact, its rare that I'm able to buy something that actually meets my specifications, so I tighten them up, knowing that I'll get something less..
