This is a REVIEW of the article with description: K&F Concept LP-E8 Battery and Dual Slot Charger for Canon 700D 650D Rebel T5i T4i T3i T2i Kiss X5.
This is a good pack of 2 batteries and dual charger compatible with CANON photography camera formats that use the LP-E8 model, it is powered through a USB-Micro or USB-C port with a 5V power supply greater than 2A (not included), but simultaneous charging of dual batteries is a bit slow, the average simultaneous charge is 0.7-0.8A (about 0.35-0.40 for each one) while independent charging if that 0.7A current is used for the one you have connected.
Post-charge performance is good, similar to the original batteries (which hold 0.80 mAh less charge), and the camera's locking and charge level recognition are good. The camera correctly indicates a low or near-low battery level, ahead of shutting down due to a power shortage.
They fit well into the charger; they snap vertically onto the charger and are firmly secured. They require a firm pull to remove them, so they are not easy to disengage or lose their connection, whether by tipping over the charger or getting caught on the power input cable.
The only drawback I can find is that the charger doesn't have a display or level LEDs to indicate the different stages of the charging process. Only the LED corresponding to the charging bay turns red, and you have to wait until it turns solid green. Sometimes you even take out the battery to check the charging status in the camera, when it's red, and when you put it back in, if the camera indicates that it's already charged, the charger already shows a full charge in green, as if the final charge check weren't very accurate.
My rating for this pack, especially considering its good price and the reliability this brand usually places on its products, I have decided:
4 Stars = ( * * * * ). I hope you find this review useful.

Two batteries and a charger. Tested with an original EOS 700D battery, no issues to report; it charges. The charger indicates the charging status via two LEDs on its two slots: red when charging, and green when fully charged. Both included batteries work with my camera (see video), so nothing to report there.
What's really nice is the USB-C connection. No need to lug around the proprietary 230V charger; you can connect this one to any phone charger, and even use a power bank if needed. It's a real plus.

"The charger (including batteries) has several advantages, some weaknesses, and one big question mark:
POSITIVE:
+ Two LP-E8 batteries and one charger at this price are really very good value!
+ Both batteries can be charged simultaneously.
+ It's small and lightweight. Certainly not heavier or larger than the original Canon charger (which can only charge one battery).
+ The two batteries work perfectly in my Canon EOS 650D.
NEGATIVE:
- The charge level is indicated by small LEDs that glow either red or green continuously. For me, with red-green color blindness, it's impossible to tell whether the batteries are charging or not. (For comparison: With Canon, flashing means charging, and a steady light means charging is complete.)
- Charging takes quite a long time. Although the description states "Use a 5V 2.1A Micro USB/Type-C input charger to maximize charging efficiency." The charger is supplied with the charger. However, there is no charger, and the included cable is also NOT suitable for this purpose.
UNCERTAINTY:
I've only been using the batteries for about a month. So far, there have been no problems. However, I've used third-party batteries in the past, and they all gave up relatively quickly. First, there was usually a significant drop in performance (often empty after 50 pictures despite a full charge), and soon after, they were completely broken.
I don't want to explicitly accuse these batteries of this! However, I'll point out my experience and secretly expect that these batteries won't last as long as an original battery. (I've been using the original Canon battery for 12 years, and it still works. Currently, a single original battery costs around €50.)

The set arrived quickly and well packaged in a small box with a plastic insert. This makes it ideal for tidy carrying and long-term storage.
The batteries charged easily even in the original charger. Both worked perfectly in the camera, an EOS 700D, in this case. I couldn't detect any difference in performance compared to the original. I can't comment on their longevity.
The two different charging ports are a positive feature. In addition to a modern USB-C port, there's also a USB micro-A port, should you ever need the right cable.
The price of around €27 quoted in the review is reasonable for a set like this. Individual brand-name batteries cost around €20, and similar "replicas" cost a similar amount.
Highly recommended!

Apparently decent, the battery life is similar to the originals.
The "extra" 80 mAh doesn't make any difference!
We'll see how long they last!

They work great! But I’m a bit confused. I put it in my camera. It had all the bars as if it was fully charged. So i played with it for just a bit, then the battery died. So warning. Even if they look charged make sure you charge them.

Does not last as long as brand name battery but gets the job done for the price
