At 450 grams, the tiny charger saves a whole 498 grams compared to the standard EC-E6000 charger (948 grams). The charging speed is also impressive. After just one hour on the EC-8004, a half-full 504 watt-hour battery already shows 80 per cent. The newcomer goes from zero to 80 per cent in just two and a half hours. After four and a half hours, the display shows a full charge. By comparison, the Steps EC-E6000 takes five hours to charge the battery. The compact housing is also shock and splash-proof, making the charger the perfect companion on multi-day tours.
