Canon LP-E6NH multi battery charger?

Curious if anyone has a third party battery charger for their newer Canon LP-E6NH batteries?
Switching to mirrorless, wireless tethering and all that jazz has upped my collection of batteries and using the single charger can take a while when you have 4-6 batteries to charge.

Suggestions?
 
I hate to say it, but my solution has been a wide-plug power strip and 3 Canon LP-E6 battery chargers. I have one from my old 60D, my 5D3, and my R5, so I can charge three batteries at once after a long shoot. Not as convenient as the 1DX dual battery charger, but it works at home.

I also sometimes use my Macbook Pro's USB-C PD charger to charge the LP-E6NH battery inside my R5 when I really need to charge a bunch of batteries at once. No issues while doing this since July.

Is there some reason why Canon has never addressed this market? I would think it would sell. Especially with USB-C outlets becoming more popular on computers and power adapters, you could power it that way I would think.

I own several dual chargers for LP-E6 NH batteries. The thing that is lacking on most is the ability to monitor the battery temperature. Most chargers that I have found, single or dual, have only two pins which connect to the battery. They are missing the 3rd and 4th pins which are the com pin and the temperature pin (which is the important one). The exceptions, that I have found, are the original Canon charger (single only) and the Nitecore UCN1 (single) and UCN2 Pro (dual) chargers.

The problem with the Nitecore UCN2 Pro dual charger that I have is that it very often will not indicate that the charging is finished, even after 24 hours. Of course, I don't know if it is still charging, but therein lies the problem...I don't know if it is still charging after 24 hours. Other times, with the same exact batteries, it will charge quickly and indicate that the charging is finished. I just don't trust it. It will report battery temperature while charging though.

The charger that I am currently using is the isdt LP2 Air charger. It doesn't have the T or C pins, so it doesn't monitor temperature. But, it does connect via Bluetooth to your smartphone via an app and it provides a running total of mAh, running charge time, voltage, charging amperage, and battery resistance. It will charge in turbo mode, but I have never used that as it will charge two batteries in less than 2 hours.

I have not tried it with an original Canon battery as I don't have one any longer. Some people report that it has problems with Canon batteries, others say no problem at all.

With my Patona and Newell batteries, I can 100% recommend it.

If the Nitecore would work reliably, it would be my favorite. But, I don't trust it at all.
