Choosing between two Kastar wall-charger kits for memory batteries power can feel like a camera-system coin flip. Both are bundle listings with a charger and a Li-Ion battery, and both carry the same brand name and a California Prop 65 chemical warning. The listed prices sit $14.50 apart. The bigger decision is whether the Canon-named charger family or the Nikon-named charger family is the one for the camera you actually own.
Quick verdict
The fast answer: if your camera is a Canon ELPH 180 or Canon ELPH 190 IS and needs the NB-11L or NB-11LH battery format, the Canon-named Kastar kit is the direct match. If your camera uses the Nikon EN-EL3e battery family, the Nikon-named Kastar kit is the direct match. Because these kits are built for different battery platforms, choose based on your camera system rather than expecting one charger to cover both.
Price and capacity at a glance
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar | Battery Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kastar Battery Wall Charger for Canon NB-11L NB-11LH Canon ELPH 180 ELPH 190 IS | USD 21.49 | 1,500mAh Li-Ion | |
| Kastar Battery Wall Charger for Nikon EN-EL3e MH-18a & Nikon D90 DSLR Camera | USD 6.99 | 2,650mAh Li-Ion |
Where each product wins
- The Canon NB-11L/NB-11LH kit wins when the camera in your hand is one of the Canon models named in its title. It points directly at the Canon ELPH 180 and ELPH 190 IS.
- The Nikon EN-EL3e kit wins when you need the Nikon battery format. It points directly at the Nikon D90 DSLR and the EN-EL3e/MH-18a charger style.
Kastar Battery Wall Charger for Canon NB-11L NB-11LH Canon ELPH 180 ELPH 190 IS
This is the kit to look at when the charger family matches your Canon camera: the title explicitly names the NB-11L and NB-11LH batteries alongside the Canon ELPH 180 and ELPH 190 IS. That level of product-name specificity is a real convenience when you are ordering a replacement battery setup. For anyone who owns those Canon models, it is a clear point in its favor. The flip side is that it is aimed at the Canon NB-11L/NB-11LH format rather than the Nikon EN-EL3e platform in the other product. Stick with it when the Canon model names are actually in your gear bag.
Kastar Battery Wall Charger for Nikon EN-EL3e MH-18a & Nikon D90 DSLR Camera
For Nikon shooters, this kit has the advantage of a direct title match: the charger is built around the EN-EL3e battery and the MH-18a wall-charger style, and the Nikon D90 DSLR is called out in the name. That reduces the guesswork when you are picking up a replacement charging setup. The drawback is the same kind of narrowing: it is aimed at the Nikon EN-EL3e platform rather than the Canon NB-11L/NB-11LH system. Buy it for the Nikon gear you already have.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the Canon NB-11L/NB-11LH Kastar charger bundle when your camera is a Canon ELPH 180 or Canon ELPH 190 IS and you want the kit named for that charger family.
- Choose the Nikon EN-EL3e/MH-18a Kastar charger bundle when your camera takes the Nikon EN-EL3e battery and the MH-18a-style charger is the one you need.
