Battery Charging

I use a Canon EOS 7D Mark II with LP-E6E batteries. The kit came with an AC single charger for the batteries. I am trying to find a charger that I can use with an external backup battery source to recharge the camera batteries. I have an external battery for recharging various mobile devices, and would like to have it available for the camera batteries. Any suggestions for a charging station that will work for the camera batteries?

I purchased a 3rd party 12v DC charger for my camera batteries. Works great while I'm mobile. The other approach is to buy extra batteries. I have 6 for my camera and run a LONG time in the boonies without having to recharge.

Edit: Lots of possibilities here ... https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dphoto&field-keywords=LP-E6N

That's the way to go, I too have always a dozen batteries fully charged, so I can shoot for a long time! I have four chargers, but I will change to double chargers soon!

I have 4 extra batteries and I have 4 Nikons with batteries (8 total batteries). I never have a shortage of batteries. I do have trouble keeping up with my enloops for my flashes and other accessories. I have six chargers and about 60 enloops. About twice a month I have charging day where I go through all my equipment and start charging. It's quite an event.

Many of the chargers now come with a usb connection. You can get a 12 v kit with two batteries for around $20 on Amazon. Look closely at the image for usb connection to the charger.

You can also now get a solar charger that is chargable by AC also and can be used with usb cable to charge your camera batteries. I got one for Christmas but have yet to use it.
