The batteries came half charged so I used the charger overnight to charge them to 100%. I then left both batteries for a few days before testing them with my Sony camera. Both batteries showed a charge of 100%.
One of my earlier third party NP FW batteries had a habit of slowly draining at about 1% per day when not in use and the camera was not in use, while another set completely failed within a year of use. This seems to hold the charge well for the time being. If I see problems I will update here.
As mentioned in the title of my review, the charger can be conveniently connected via a typical USB connector as well as a newer format (USB-C). The lights correctly indicate whether the battery is charged or not, and other brands of NP-FW50 batteries can be used.
Overall very good quality and no problems so far.

These work as advertised. They show up as “NH” batteries in an R5, so they unlock the power features including USB charging in the case. The charger also works well but only uses conventional power even when connected to a PD power supply. So don't expect fast loading.

I have a lot of generic batteries and some fit well and some don't. Some were DOA and others were the last of my original Canon batteries. So far these feel like a winner. They charge quickly and hold a good charge.

Charger seems a bit slow but tge batteries last well and function just like the original representing great value for money.

Have been using these as backup batteries for my Canon R6. They’ve been great, no issues! I recommend!

I was a little apprehensive, but found out that it works flawlessly. It is also fast to charge and I love the indicator lights

i as yet have seen no difference compared to the canon batt however i have done no formal testing and i don't shoot 1000s of shots a day that would weed out a lesser battery but even if it had only 3/4 the capacity i would still give it 5 stars as the double charger is worth £43 GBP on its own as i buy a canon dual charger for my 5Dmki and it was £220 15 years ago if my memory is correct, and only charged 1 batt at a time not both together like this one

Great price, 2 replacement batteries , early days but seem to last as long as the very expensive canon batteries.
Can charge with a pd power bank which is ideal when no mains power is available
