The standard way of charging a Contour GPS camera battery is by leaving it in the camera and plugging the camera into a USB port. This works fine when you've only got one battery but when you've got a spare one (or more) keeping them all charged can be a bit of a juggling act and it can be REALLY annoying when you're out in the middle of nowhere and youre second battery is only half charged ebcause you forgot which one was charged last.
This charger is a simple affair. A plastic charging body about the size of a clamshell-style mobile phone, it's got a space to accept the battery and one LED on it which lights red when charging and green when not charging. It's also got a mini-USB socket that connects it to your USB charging outlet of choice. Supplied with a mini-USB cable, ther's no adapter to connect it to a wall socket but it will do just as good a job of charging from a powered USB port on a hub or your PC.
I've not timed how long it takes to fully charge a battery, but I'd estimate at between 90 - 120 minutes.
It would have been nice if it got included in the price of a spare battery, as that's when you'll most likely benefit from it. But it doesn't and it is rather pricey for what you get - so I'm only giving it 3 stars.

Must have for any Contour owner!!!

On 1 battery you only get roughly 3 hours of HD filming. Since I record almost 8 hours of video every time I paintball it was obvious I would need this item along with spare batteries and memory cards. Amazon has become my official vendor of choice when it comes to ordering any Contour items as the items are scarse in retail stores.

too expensive, but works fine

Does what I expected with no problems, but price is double what it is worth. Look for 3rd party chargers with similar functionality for much lower prices.

nothing special about it

well, its chip china charger, nothing special about it. its designed for charging the battery, but for this amount of money it could be made of better materials and better made. sometimes when I charge battery and the charger is in my car, the battery can pop out for charger, because there is no locking mechanism ...
