Best advice- use Canon chargers for Canon batteries, and use third-party chargers with third-party batteries, preferably ones that come bundled with the third-party batteries from the same company.
You can charge the Canon batteries in third-party chargers successfully most of the time, however, putting third-party batteries in Canon chargers subjects you to the same possible problems that can be encountered when using third-party batteries in Canon cameras, i.e., they may not like each other, or may refuse to work together at all.
Note that you can usually get two decent third-party batteries and a charger in a bundle for less than the price of one Canon battery by itself, and as long as the battery is listed to work with your camera, you're usually fine. Just know that future updates to camera firmware and future cameras may require updated third-party batteries at some point in order to regain full functionality (battery metering in camera), or to work at all, in extreme cases. Canon likes their margins on accessories.
