 Delkin Dual battery charger wins DIMA award : Delkin's new Dual universal battery charger was honored with the 2008 DIMA award. This unique charger for digital camera batteries combines universal compatibility with the ability to charge two batteries simultaneously. The need for a charger that can recharge two batteries of different models, voltages and even chemical composition at the same time has sprung up from the growth in the digicam market. "It is now common for households, or even individuals, to own multiple digital cameras," said Anna Lopez, Delkin's Battery Product Manager. "Many photographers own point and shoot cameras for day-to-day shooting, and a digital SLR for more serious photography.

Delkin Dual universal battery charger - Charging plates
Different camera models seldom use the same battery, forcing photographers to carry an array of chargers." Delkin's Dual universal battery charger is a single, two sided charger that uses individual charging plates specific to each camera battery, so it can charge almost any digital camera battery model. Since Delkin's charger and charging plates are purchased separately, each buyer can customize the charger to his or her own needs. Anyone who subsequently upgrades his or her camera equipment and needs to charge a new battery model can simply purchase the additional charging plate for a fraction of the cost of a new charger.
Delkin Dual charger - Battery models
Many manufacturers try to reduce the overall number of charging plates with complicated multi-plates that charge ten or twenty different battery models. While this helps reduce manufacturing costs, these multi-unit charging plates are confusing to use, so the rate of error can be high. Worse, it presents a safety concern for anyone who accidentally connects their battery to the charger incorrectly. Delkin's single model charging plates are simple to connect and use, eliminating any safety concerns and reducing user error.
Delkin Dual universal battery charger - Charge status
Another useful feature of Delkin's dual charger is the charge status indicator built into each side of the charger. Each indicator includes four LEDs that accurately report the charge status of each battery being charged. This feature is beneficial as it helps the photographer estimate the time it takes to charge each battery.
Delkin Dual universal battery charger - Power product line
"The battery market can be a tough business to compete in." admits CEO Martin Wood. "Our Power product line is focused on innovation and uniqueness, which is the key to our success. When we create a new Power product, we look at our customer's needs and find out what benefits are missing from current products available. We then create a product that exceeds their expectations."
