Do NOT buy SIMA products!!
Date of Review: May 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Do Not buy this unless you are looking for frustration
I bought the UDC-3x "Universal camera/camcorder charger" from Sima. This was to be my only charger for a bp915 canon battery and a travel charger for nb2L and bp511 canon batteries for my upcoming vacation. The packaging states it is a "universal charger" and claims to support canon "BP series" and others. well.....it arrives with none of the adapters for any of these batteries, but has instructions to contact SIMA if the required adapters are not included. I did so. I specified all three batteries. I was told an adapter would be sent to me. It was. BUT it only worked with 2 of the three batteries I specified. I contacted SIMA again, figuring there must be an error. "Sorry we do not make a tray for the BP-915". what about your support for "canon BP series", what about the "Universal" charger claim? Why was I not told this when I was waiting for the adapters to arrive? What about my vacation with no camcorder battery charger? SIMA took no responsibility for their false advertising, made no effort to rectify the issue. They instead started responding to my emails with canned replies along the lines of "we are sorry if you are not happy with your SIMA product......if it is defective please contact our warranty....." I cannot tell you if the charger even works with the batteries it does support because every time i look at it i want to smash it into little pieces.
