Users report that the discharge rate of a MAX battery charged in the Hero 7 dual charger matches when charged inside the camera, indicating consistency in battery performance.

Concerns arise about potentially damaging or bending pins when pushing batteries down into the charger, indicating a need for careful handling.

Users have successfully used a rubber band to ensure batteries remain properly seated during charging, preventing disconnections.
