Dual D-Tap charger for Canon cinema cameras
The Kastar BP-A100 charger powers two D-Tap batteries simultaneously from worldwide AC input. It suits operators running Canon EOS C200, C220B, C300 Mark II PL, C300 Mark III and similar cinema bodies who need fast turnaround between takes. The unit also accepts Sony BP-U series and other D-Tap equipped packs. A 4-pin XLR output lets you feed the camera directly when mains power is available.
Thermals noise and power draw
The charger draws up to 1.0A at 110-240V AC and delivers 16.8V at 4.0A on a single channel or 16.8V at 2A per channel when both are active. An onboard MCU monitors voltage and temperature, shutting down automatically on over-voltage, short-circuit or overheat conditions. Green LEDs indicate standby or full charge; red shows charging in progress. No fan is mentioned, so operation is silent.
Build integration and workflow
The compact 5*3*1 inch enclosure fits in a gear bag alongside camera accessories. Dual-channel charging frees a second outlet and reduces the number of wall warts on set. The XLR adapter powers the camera directly, eliminating the need for a dummy battery during studio work. Buyers who need to charge more than two packs at once or who require a battery bundled with the charger will need additional units.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the Kastar BP-A100 charger to AC power and what step is often missed?
Plug the AC cable into a 110-240V 50/60Hz 1.0A max outlet, then attach up to two D-Tap cables; the step often missed is confirming the green standby light before inserting batteries.
Which parts of the Kastar BP-A100 charger will need replacement over time?
The two D-Tap charging cables and the 4-pin XLR DC output adapter are the wear items; the charger body has no user-serviceable components.
What power limit appears first when charging two Canon BP-A100 batteries continuously?
With two batteries connected the DC output drops to 16.8V 2A per channel, so total current is capped at 4A instead of the single-channel 4.0A rate.
