FAQs

Does this charger include batteries?

No, the package includes the charging unit and a USB cable; batteries must be purchased separately.

Can I use this with a standard laptop USB port?

You can, but it is not recommended as most laptop ports do not provide the necessary 22.5W output required to charge two batteries in the advertised two-hour timeframe.

Is it safe to charge third-party batteries with this?

Yes, the SmallRig 5490 is designed to safely charge both official Canon batteries and compatible third-party batteries.

Can I check the battery level without plugging the charger in?

Yes, the five-step LED indicator allows you to check the battery capacity at the touch of a button even when no power source is connected.

What happens if the charger gets too hot?

The internal intelligent circuitry will detect the rising temperature and automatically slow down the charging process to prevent damage to the battery and the charger.

What is the charging time for two batteries?

When using a power source of 22.5W or higher, the unit can fully charge two LP-E6 series batteries in approximately two hours.

Troubleshooting

Batteries are charging slowly

Ensure your wall adapter or power bank supports at least 22.5W output; lower-wattage power sources will significantly increase charging time.

LED indicator flashes a red warning light

A red warning light typically indicates the battery level is critically low; continue charging until the LED progress bar begins to move.

Charger does not start

Check the USB-C connection to ensure it is fully seated and verify that your power source (adapter or power bank) is active.
