How Do You Charge a Canon Camera Battery the Right Way?
Struggling to power up your Canon camera? Whether you're a pro photographer or just prepping for a shoot, charging your battery right is critical. Many users damage batteries unknowingly. Don’t worry — I’ll walk you through safe, efficient charging and how to get reliable replacements in bulk.
To charge a Canon camera battery, first remove the battery from the camera. Insert it into a compatible Canon charger or replacement charger, then plug it into a powerbank or wall outlet. When the battery bar graph on the screen jumps, charging begins.. It typically takes 2–3 hours to fully charge. Always use certified chargers to avoid overheating or damage.
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s answer more detailed questions, including USB charging, power banks, first-time charges, and what to do if you don’t have the original charger.
How to tell if a Canon battery is charging?
Canon chargers come with indicator lights. When you plug in a battery:
Orange light: Charging in progress
Green light: Fully charged
No light or blinking light: There may be a connection issue or the battery is faulty
Some USB-C or aftermarket chargers may have digital displays for more accuracy.
How long should I charge my Canon battery for the first time?
For a brand-new Canon battery, or a replacement from Censreal, we recommend:
Charging it fully the first time (usually 2 to 3 hours)
Avoid interrupting the first charge cycle
Use the original Canon charger or a certified third-party charger
Overcharging is not a concern if you're using intelligent chargers, which stop once full.
Can I charge a Canon battery without a charger?
Yes, but only if you're cautious.
Here are your options:
USB-C charging (for newer Canon models like EOS R or RP)
Power bank with USB power delivery
External universal battery dock (for older models)
If you’ve lost your charger, you can order certified third-party chargers wholesale from Censreal.
Avoid trying to connect wires directly — it's risky and may void warranties.
How to charge a Canon camera battery using USB-C?
If your Canon camera supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD), follow these steps:
Turn off the camera
Use a USB-C to USB-C cable
Plug one end into the camera and the other into a USB-PD power adapter
Check for charging icon on your LCD screen
Not all Canon models support USB charging. Double-check your manual or ask us at carissa.ke@censreal.com.
Is it safe to charge a Canon camera with a power bank?
Yes — with a compatible power bank and USB-C cable.
Requirements:
Output: 9V/2A or 5V/3A (Power Delivery protocol)
Short, quality cables
Charge while the camera is off to avoid overheating
Pro tip: We recommend power banks with overcharge protection for long-term safety. Censreal also supplies power accessories compatible with Canon cameras.
How to charge Canon 80D without a charger?
The Canon 80D doesn’t support USB charging directly. Alternatives:
Use a DC coupler (dummy battery) with a power adapter
Use a universal battery charger compatible with LP-E6 batteries
Order a replacement charger from a trusted supplier like Censreal
Charging directly from a power bank won’t work unless you're using a DC adapter setup.
Can I charge a Canon Rebel T7 without the original charger?
Absolutely.
The Canon Rebel T7 uses LP-E10 batteries. Here’s what you can do:
Use a third-party charger from a reliable source
Look for dual-slot chargers for faster workflow
Or consider an AC wall charger with LED indicators
At Censreal, we supply wholesale LP-E10 chargers with certifications and OEM/ODM services for brands and Amazon sellers.
